about me
Although some of us may not agree with Loomis quote above, it has an appeal to artists, such as myself, who are constantly striving for refining their artistic skills.
As of lately I've been feeling I should study more, hit the books again or at least get more drawing mileage. Loomis quote spoke to me that way.
With that said, I'm creating 12 fantasy illustrations for a book to be published some time next year and will be posting all my studies and doodles here. The point here is to address areas which I find I have neglected, train my eye, patience, and of course to have fun!
I hope you enjoy seeing the process from beginning to finish, something I often forget to document.

For those wondering about the online graphic novel, the comic strip is far from being over. The blog is going under major updates, which will be pretty cool, so bear with me.
While we wait for the new site, you can view all old posts towards the bottom.

my friend and co-worker Max, another comic book fan, suggested I should pay more attention to text balloons and font styles. So I downloaded some free fonts and now I'm drawing my own balloons, instead of photoshop shapes. Ideally you also want to write your own text becuase some fonts look too stiff, but this new is not so bad. Plus, my caligraphy sucks. Most people usually don't even notice this part, but this stuff is an art in itself.
You can find some interesting free comic book looking fonts at

the ones with no red dot are free. They're nice enough to give some away for free so i figure the least I can do is advertise them here.
Wow! Nice work! I haven't checked this blog in a long time. What a great surprise to see all this great artwork! Thanks for providing us all with the link to the fonts. Can't wait to see more!! ^.^
Love these dramatic pages!! WOW!
