HEY! I drew a 3 page story in NIX Comics Quarterly #5

Hi everybody! My writer James and I did a 3 page short story in  NIX Comics Quarterly #5
(It comes out in February, but you can pre-order it at http://www.nixcomics.com).
Please check it out we are really proud of it. Enjoy a little sneak peek at some of the panels below.
For an un-biased opinion, check out what these guys have to say...

Just a little bit of trivia, The title of our story, "It Felt Like a Kiss," is derived from a Crystals song called “He Hit Me (and it felt like a kiss)” which is about the lead singer’s baby sitter being abused by her boyfriend. The babysitter was actually Little Eva who's best known for singing “The Locomotion.”

The Toyetic Adventures of Coco Fiasco......PREVIEW!

Hey everybody! Here is a preview of a new book we will be premiering at the Mid Ohio Comicon (Nov 6-7, 2010) in Columbus, OH. It is an all ages book that is kind of a mix between Sailor Moon and Godzilla...SUPER FUN!!!! For anyone wondering where Radio Free Gahanna #2 is, I'll be working on it after this comes out. Kids are for some reason drawn to our booth at shows, so we wanted to make something to sell to them as well as their parents. In the future we will be periodically releasing some all ages one shots inspired by things we loved as kids. (to be honest, we still love them.) Regardless, if you like the preview, please stop by our table at any convention and pick one up, or order one on the soon to be live (by Mid Ohio...I SWEAR!) website.

Thanks!
Joel

The Toyetic Adventures of Coco Fiasco
Who do you call when the trouble gets hotter than Tabasco?
Who else, but Coco Fiasco?!
Alongside her pigesus Purco Bueno, she's going to need every
gadget and martial arts move in her arsenal to defeat a giant
monster smashing up a near-future Tokyo (and get to school on
time) in this all ages adventure. It's magical girl vs. kaiju
for the fate of  a city in this fast-paced,
awesome-stuffed one-shot!

Cinematic Redux Show

Here is my piece from the show. Enjoy!

Cinematic Redux

Hey everybody!
Long time no type. I'm here to inform you that I have a piece in the Cinematic Redux show! If you live in or near Cleveland (actually Lakewood) Ohio, you should go to the opening on Aug 7th from 6-9pm. I'll be there, other artists will be there..............I'll be there.......

But seriously It is going to be a cool show. All of the artists are re-doing classic movie posters. I did the 60's Batman movie.
|
After the show there is an after party next door and a nearby theater is showing Pulp Fiction. It should be a really good time.

So please come out and check out the badass art.
I will post a photo of my painting after the show for anyone that cannot make it.

Thanks!
