Hey Gang,

Here's an update of everything that's being going on in my corner of the woods!

This is going to be an exciting year for me because I'll be publishing my first mini-series, with art and story courtesy of yours truly, and even bigger news, my first ever SHORT FILM!!


Over the coming days and weeks I'll be working sporadically through preproduction on my small film project and hopefully doing double duty on some local projects.


Several projects I worked on last year will be bearing fruit in the near future. The first of which is MARS ATTACKS THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS #1, where I contributed interiors( that hit stores this week ), and an alternate cover for the videogame comic property BORDERLANDS : ORIGINS #3 of 4, both from IDW!


On the movie front, the long awaited zombie love story WARM BODIES hits theatres this February, a Jonathan Levine film I had the pleasure of storyboarding (mapping out all the action sequences/camera angles).
There are plenty of jaw dropping teasers and trailers online, and god knows I've been so excited about it I've posted every piece of video footage I could find, so check it out on Youtube. You'll thank me later


The spy thriller RED2 with Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, & Anthony Hopkins will surely hit theaters next year, and it was an incredible honour working with director Dean Parisot on that one. So look out for that blockbuster.


2012 was dominated by a lot of tv work for me, landing me in the role of Director on JERRY & THE RAIDERS, a 3D animated kids show for Canadian broadcasters. While the series will start primary shooting this year, I had the pleasure of working with an excellent team that helped me put together a mountain of characters, prop designs and backgrounds for the show. My collaboration with the writers and tech crew was a truly inspiring process, and I think we did some terrific work on the first batch of stories.


Other work currently out there: A trade paperback compilation featuring the entire I.C.E. series from 12GaugeComics; Television commercial campaigns for MILK and NAPA, currently running on the small screen; Some mystery IDW pages, with enormous entertainment value; And lastly, a sci-fi movie soon to shoot in the US has benefited from my special brand of concept designs, so I hope to see that realized this year as well.


Plans are always in the works for bigger and better things, and 2013 is shaping up to be a doozy!
More to come friends!

Hey man, how you doing?! I wanted to drop by and personally invite you to enter the Lost Kids Art Contest if that's something that interests you :)

If anything please visit [link] to get to know a little bit more about the Lost Kids comic book series, it has come a long way since we first got to talk about it a few years back.

Thanks, man!

You have a very unique and almost chaotic style. I love it. It almost reminds me of Bill Sienkiewicz. Is he an inspiration for you?
