EXILE and COMICS ARE GREAT!
November 08, 2011
For those of you that haven’t been following along on projectchancecomic.tumblr.com, I finished the script for issue #1 of EXILE on October 28th! On November 2nd both Brian Denham and I were interviewed by teaching artist/comics guru Jerzy Drozd on his webshow Comics Are Great! I’ll be embedding the video here once it’s edited and available online. In the meantime, drawing for EXILE has officially commenced. Over the next week or so I will be posting my articulations of the principle characters in order of appearance in the comic. Drawings of Or’n and Stout are already up on the Project Chance Tumblr in addition to my portfolio page here on Black Ink Bird!
Other than that, I’ve also been busy with some freelance layout and character design work, which is always fun! More updates on that are forthcoming. :)

Jet City Comic Show and EXILE Project
September 22, 2011
This Saturday I will be at the Jet City Comic Show in Seattle, WA, selling several prints and books – some DUSK Comics titles, some Olympia Comics Collective titles, and some personal titles. You can find me along with Zoey Hogan (Hungry Roots) at table AA62 in the Artist Alley. We’ll have the latest mini-anthology by the cartoonists of Olympia, LAUNDRY DAY, on hand as well posters of the cover. Drop by and say hello!
I have devoted the past couple of months to developing and scripting a new series titled EXILE to be drawn by Brian Denham (Iron Man, Green Hornet, X-Files, Avengers). EXILE takes place in Miami, FL, and revolves around the transgender teenager Alexi Rivera, whose world is turned inside out by visitors from another dimension on a quest for revolution in their own world. The writing process has been an arduous one as I’m making every effort to ensure a dignified and human portrayal of a protagonist the likes of which I have never written before. It’s a challenge, but a rewarding one. More details forthcoming on the Project Chance blog as the process moves along.
