Professor Elemental comic issue #2

I've recently been introduced to the world of the Professor Elemental. He is a "hip hop/trip hop rapper who embraces both comedy and the world of Steampunk as his musical niche."


Simple right? 
 

He's also a great (and unique!) musician. Have a look at one of my favorite videos from the Prof.

So... besides alerting you to a terrific new musician from the other side of the pond, why am I bringing this up? Well Professor Elemental's 2nd comic is now out, and I've done a few pages of art in it.

The inks were done by Mike Bunt : [link]

The colors were done by the talented Andre May [link]

Take a closer look at some preview pages and order the book over at the Professor's site .

I'll also have some copies at the next few cons I do including Fan Expo in August.

Cheers!

 

DEADPOOL - Kitchen Sink!

This one is my next Deadpool print, after the last one which folks seem to like.

Hope this one gets the same amount of love!

Inks - Guillermo Ortego and Keiren Smith on the colors

 

Appearing at Calgary Expo April 26th, 27th and 28th , 2013

Calgary Expo is totally sold out, and it’s not even open for another week!! These cons are getting bigger and badder all the time.

I'll be attending the Calgary Expo again this year. I’ll be in artist alley at table P 12  - on April 26^th, 27^th and 28^th 2013.

I  LOVE the Calgary show and have now gone for 3 years running. This year’s show will be extra special for me, as I’m finally getting a chance to reconnect with Alan Grant!  We plan to talk about more War on Drugs,  Johnny K. and maybe even something new. I’ve recently been forwarded two ‘lost’  W.O.D. scripts which I’ve yet to do art for,  so Johnny K.  may yet be resurrected...
For those that CAN get in, please stop by table P-12 and say “Hi”. I’m bring along all issues  (#1, #2, and the new #3)  of Undertow ,  sketch covers,  prints –including the New Deadpool one and issues of the Heroes of the North!

Now... off to get some more sketch covers ready for the show! 

Deadpool for Calgary! Pencils

This is a little Deadpool image I'm drawing to have a few as a print for folks dropping by Calgary Expo. 

 I'll be in artist Alley there...not sure where yet. I'll tweet it out when I know.

Fearless Fred Podcast - 'Fredcast' Indie Comics 2

A few weeks ago, I had the great  pleasure of dropping by a recording studio to sit down with 102.1 the Edge's own Fearless Fred Kennedy 

 

Fred does many things (T.V. /radio) but the most important is podcasts! He does great podcasts or " Fredcasts" about comics, and this time out we discussed working on indie comics. Joining me at the indie creator roundtable was Adam Gorham and Ricky Lima. It was a ton of fun, and a great chat. If its half as fun to listen to as it was to record, it'll be worth your time to listen!

There are many free "Fredcasts" to enjoy, and I recommend you listen to a few--or all of them! Fred's interviewed many amazing guests, the majority of them comic book superstars.

It's free to download from  iTunes or ... Go over here and have a listen!

Gutters #387

This one was done on the fly while I was at ECCC this weekend. People were bumping the table while I was creating it, and my drawing board and tunes were no where in sight!  The colorist really did some heavy lifting on this one. 

Check it out here. 

I always enjoy helping Ryan Sohmer and the Gutters folks out, they are super easy to work with. However, next time... I'll make sure I'm back in the studio. It's WAY easier to do draw nice finished art there!

Undertow #3 - 5 page preview

I'm happy to report that UNDERTOW #3 is set and ready for it's release at Emerald city Comic-con on March 1st! Its also available to order (along with issue #1 and #2) right now at the 7th wave website. It's been a while since the cliffhanger ending of  the Organ Ginder story from issue #2, and we pick it up right from there. This issue also marks the start of Adam Gorham's stellar art work on the other story in this comic "The Forgetting". 

Here's a 5 page preview of what you can expect. I'm inking myself on this one, but Guillermo Ortego helped out on the cover, which was wonderfully colored up by Greg Harms. (Technically its a 6 page preview with a cover too...but I'm an artist Dammit! Math might not be my thing.)

This will also be available at local Toronto comic stores the week of March 13th, 2013. Adam and I will be possibly be doing some in store signings too. I'll update it via twitter when they happen.

If you'd like to check out more, there's a 5 page preview from issue #2 over here. ;-)

I'll be at the Emerald city con for the launch at the 7th Wave booth. Its booth #2403,  so come and get it signed!  Anyone who mentions that they saw the 5 page preview will get a free head sketch of Moses -my favorite chain smoking monkey from Undertow.

If you cant make it- please order your copy direct from Luke at the 7th wave website.
