Incursion Sequentials


Here is page 6 of Incursion. I'm having fun drawing a New York based detective mixed up in a superhero/alien conspiracy.


These are some dialogue panels in which our NYPD hero, Mercer is coming to the realization that he cannot compete with the future; a man made superhero by the name of Siege...

OEMING COVER


Here is Mike Avon Oeming's colored cover for our project together. Everytime I think I am happy with something I draw, he goes and does something like this and makes me say, "crap, I still have a lot to learn" hahha. This cover is definitely bad ass, as will be the rest of the book. ENJOY!

Colors are once gain provided by Val Staples.

Unmasked Cover Colored!


Here is the cover to Unmasked, the mini 12 page comic I recently completed for Michael Sarrao, completely colored by Val Staples. More pages to come!

More Design Work











Here are some further designs for Mike Sarrao. We will be putting together a 10 page mini-comic pitch for this storyline, much like the Unmasked project we are currently wrapping up. I had alot of fun on Unmasked and it is a great story but I have to admit I am hugely psyched about this project. More info and plenty more art to come! Each and every character is (C) Michael Sarrao 2008.

Pin-Up Alert!


Here is a pin-up I did recently for my friend Rob Reilly's new book, Imaginary Friends: SFU, coming soon from Viper comics. I've seen some of the pages and it is a really fun, stylized book. Rob will be coloring this final peice himself, can't wait to see it!

Support Your Troops!


Here is a sketch I did today for my Fiance's cousin who is serving over in Iraq. We put together a care package for him so I decided to spread a little cheer and added this in. To all the troops over seas right now: Come home safe, you do us proud!

JIM IS BACK!


Page 1 of Zombie Sama! 2. It has been a little over 2 years since I have drawn a new Zombie Sama! page. I really enjoyed going back to the first character I ever drew professionally. I always had alot of fun with this book and I absolutely can't wait to draw this second go around. In fact, I was so impatient that I started drawing this page without even finishing the script for the first issue. I am a little more than halfway done writing issue 1 of what I hope can be a 3 issue mini series. I think for the time being I am going to have to put the drawing for this book on hold and focus on the writing. I am swamped with other projects right now that need priority. But do not fear: YOJIMBO IS BACK!

Pencils Vs. Inks




Here is page 2 of Unmasked. First we have my pencils for the page, which as you can see are very limited. I usually rough in the drawing with the pencils and then finish the drawing with the ink brush and/or ink pen.




Unmasked Page 1


Mike Sarrao and I are moving ahead in the project with a ten to twelve page mini-comic of his teleplay idea, Unmasked. Future colors will be provided by Val Page. Unmasked and all related characters are (c) Michael Sarrao 2008.
