Just one week to go until MCBA Fallcon, Saturday, October 15 at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. MCBA is the Minnesota Comic Book Association and I’ve been a regular at their semi-annual convention for years.
If you’re in the Minnesota area, stop by and say hello! I’ll be sitting by my new banner (seen here), and I’ll be talking to fans, doing commission sketches, and selling comics and art.
Tickets available at the door for $8.00. $1.00 off with a canned food shelf donation. Kids 9 and under get in free.

It’s great to be working on a series where getting a new script feels like getting a present to open on on Christmas morning. I suppose if it were a Marvel title it would feel like X-mas morning…
Young Justice #11
I’ve done something of a commentary on the current issue of my Young Justice series for Worlds Finest Online. It shares my thoughts on the art for the issue in the form of a page-by-page breakdown, and provides some samples the artwork in pencil form.

I did something similar for the previous issue which you can find here. Going forward I’ll be doing these commentaries directly for this blog, but I’m sure I’ll be finding something to do for World’s Finest. Before next month I’ll be putting commentaries for my first two Young Justice issues on here as well, so we’ll have my whole run on the series covered!
By the way, here’s the cover you’ll want to be on the lookout for when you visit your local comic shop. If you are buying a digital copy on line, you can easily catch up on previous issues. My first issue as artist on the title was #5, and my first cover was #7 (covers are done a couple of months in advance for solicitation purposes, so the covers for #5 and #6 were already done when I came on board).

Yikes! A blog!
As I get dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st-Century realities of an artist promoting his own work, I am launching a blog as the centerpiece of my revamped website. You can find a gallery of my work by clicking on the link above. That gallery isn’t as complete as I’d like it, and much of what’s currently there isn’t as well-organized or well-labeled as I’d like, but I’ll tackle that in the coming weeks, and I’ll even highlight some of what’s there with blog posts as I go. My thanks to Hal Bichel for being the architect of my new web presence!
Today sees the release of Young Justice #8, written by Greg Weisman and Kevin Hopps, drawn by me, inked by Dan Davis, and color by Zac Atkinson. You can find it at your local comic shop or you can buy Young Justice online in digital form.
