Parker

Saying that I'm looking forward to Darwyn Cooke's The Hunter adaptation would be a serious understatement. So when I read that he was having a contest over at his "almost" blog with the contest winners getting a signed hardcover copy of his upcoming graphic novel, I had to give it a go.

Below are the pencils, inks, and colors for my Parker submission.

Don't ask why Parker has an open suitcase full of money going up in flames in a sewer tunnel. I honestly have no clue. The image just came into my head so I ran with it. Sometimes creativity manifests in strange ways. Other times, it involves a suitcase of burning money in the middle of a moisture-filled environment. Dirty moisture, yes. But moisture nonetheless.

Running on Empty

A few years ago, fellow artist Alberto Rios created a self-published mini-comic called Running on Empty. The main character was so awesome looking that I couldn't resist taking a shot at drawing him...

I then took it a step further and put together a short story for the fun of it. I think it turned out OK.

Since I'm still working overtime on a few projects, I'll post a panel a day from that Running on Empty short story starting tomorrow.

And if you want to see some amazing art, take some time to check out Alberto's blog and his Deviant art page. You can also purchase Alberto's latest sketchbook over at IndyPlanet.

I've been diligently working on my books for the last year but I couldn't resist this opportunity. Thanks to J Chris for letting me be involved in this book, particularly considering I wasn't able to be a part of last year's Wide Awake Press Free Comic Book Day offering. I'll post more info as May 2nd approaches. Until then, check out The Ancient Age website for updates.
