Emerald Knights Pony Signing! NoHo Represent.

Hey Y'all!

My first MLP issue comes out in a couple weeks (March 20th I think.) And to celebrate, I'll be signing books the next week at Emerald Knights in North Hollywood (or Burbank-- seems like Noho though.)
March 27th at 7pm
EMERALD KNIGHTS
4116 W. Burbank Blvd Burbank, CA 91505

(I gues it IS in Burbank. Huh.)


And that weekend is WONDERCON in Anaheim! I'll be there in artist alley. Details as soon as I've got a table number to give you.


Ok that's all for this time. I'll leave you with a pony cover, the only new one that's been released since last update. I've got 5 more finished ones floating out there and a few more on the drawing table AND a couple non-pony covers coming... I'll show you guys those as soon as they pop up online.

For now...
MLP Micro #2 Larry's Variant.

I've got a piece in this year's ECCC Monsters & Dames Hardcover (Check out that AWESOME Bruce Timm cover!)

My first full MLP issue is finished and off at the printers. As soon as I hear a concrete release date I'll let you guys know. In the meantime though, here's a look at MY cover for the issue (I haven't seen this one anywhere else online so you could call it an exclusive, I guess.) It's the B cover for the issue so you can get it at your local shop-- It's my favorite of all the MLP covers I've done so far.


Here's another cover, this is the super rare "Sketch variant" a joint offering from Larry's and Jetpack comics. As soon as they post up both of the finished versions I'll post those up here too. 


Also, big news! You may have heard already but I'm also doing the art for

Upcoming Conventions! Baltimore, Austin, NYCC, Vegas, Long Beach, ComicKaze & More!!

Hey Y'all!

The fall convention season is about to kick off and I'm all over the place. Here's your complete guide of where to find me and buy stuff (please buy stuff, I just paid off my college loan in one giant painful fell swoop...)

Here's a look at a couple of the new prints I'll have at all these shows-


--If I don't screw up, I'll have a very special new set of prints just in time for NYCC-- check back here next month for info on that.

If you're interested in pre-ordering commissions for any of these shows, shoot me an email. Pre ordering's a great way to get me to spend a little extra time on a piece because I'm a silly perfectionist and if I've got the time at home, I'll spend it getting your piece right.

Ok, enough of that, here's my con Schedule...


September 8th & 9th, 2012 - Baltimore Comic*con
I'll be out in Baltimore (where I was born, btw) early next month with my buddies Josh Fialkov and Chris Ryder!

Featuring art by Frank Quitely, Brandon Peterson, Gene Ha, David Petersen, Bernard Chang, Steve Conley and many more. Oh and Me. Here's a peek at my piece.

I'll post up the whole thing after the show either here or on twitter or deviantart.
