Just a quick note to let everyone know that on Saturday the hard drive on my computer over-heated and crashed.  I spoke with the tech today and he informed me that he was unable to retrieve any of the data off of my hard drive, luckily I had backed up most of the info on an external HD!  But, sadly I have lost all of my email contacts.  If you all wouldn’t mind please send me an email so that I can start to rebuild my contact list.  I will begin to respond to all email requests and emails within the next few days.

I will also begin scanning and uploading all of the art that I received in the shipment just prior to Comic-Con that did not sell at the show and have it up on the site within the next week or so.  I will also be posting photos taken from our booth.  Again, I would like to thank everyone who dropped by the booth and those who stopped by Renato and Joe’s Artists Alley table, it was a pleasure meeting some of you for the first time and seeing some old friends.

Thanks for your patience.

Cheers!

For those of you unable to make it to San Diego this year for Comic-Con, my humblest of apologies.  This is one of the most insane Cons ever!  People, stars and glitterati everywhere!  I just want to thank everyone that has dropped byand said “hi” and picked up some art, a sketchbook or a print – thanks.  It’s a lot a fun, a lot of hard work but by far what I miss most is being able to walk around the convention center and simply “geek” at all the cool booth, check out all the cool shwag being given away and people watch.  Now for the dirt!  A friend if ours got rejected trying to crash the Megan Fox pool party!  LOL!  Also couple of star sightings today including, Gene Simmons (of KISS fame) and Nick Simmons son of same.  Current actor and former WWF Wrestler Tommy “Tiny” Lister, and lastly while I was attempting to wade through an absolute throng of people snapping pics of everyone’s favorite hobbit – Elijah Wood!  All of this was in a mere twenty minute span!  AMAZING!

Wish you were here.

Cheers!

I just received a shipment of art, but due to The San Diego Comic-Con being here!!!! I won’t have a chance to post any of the pages to the website.  I will have the pages available for sale at the show (BOOTH #4405).  Arrived from Eddy BARROWS are pages and several covers, including pages and covers from “Green Lantern”, “Justice League of America”, “Superman – New Krypton” and “Blackest Night”!  Joe PRADO will be hand delivering pages from his recent work with Mike GRELL on “The Warlord”, along with several other pages and pinups.  Renato GUEDES will also be bringing a new arm-full of art including several covers from “Superman Annual”, “Action Comics Annual” and the upcoming “Supergirl Annual”.  Wow!

If you are in the area stop by and say “Hi”.  We would love to meet all of you.

Hope to see you there.

Cheers!

The Con season is upon us and we would like to invite everyone to the San Diego Comic-Con, July 23rd – 26th (Preview Night is July 22nd).  We will be located in the “Illustrators Area” of the Main Hall in, Booth #4405.  Currently scheduled to appear are Renato GUEDES, Joe PRADO, and Ryan BENJAMIN.  We will have original art, art prints, sketchbooks, signed comics for sale and the artists will also be doing sketches and a limited number of commissions.  I am taking pre-orders for commissions to be delivered at the Show.  If you are interested please contact me via email before the list is full.
