SpongeBob Comics #3
Hey gang, the latest issue of SPONGEBOB COMICS, the third issue, is now available at finer comic shops everywhere!
I’m responsible for drawing 10 of the 32 pages in this issue. But of extra note and excitement, is that those pages were done in collaboration with the one and only Ramona Fradon, who for those who don’t know, is a legitimate comics legend. As a comics artist in the 1960s she had a great run at DC Comics drawing Aquaman, and she co-created the fantastic character Metamorpho: The Element Man.
And while this collaboration mostly involved my drawing pages that were sent to Ramona to work on, I did get a chance to meet and chat with Ramona at Comic-Con in San Diego last year which was an absolute pleasure. Plus, I picked up this piece of art which, well, I’ll let it speak for itself:

SpongeBob Comics #1
Today, in fine comic book shops everywhere, SPONGEBOB COMICS #1, in which I penciled eight pages, hits the stands.
New Year, Old News (and some New News)

Announcing: stickfigurenightlive.com
As mentioned two posts ago, the ongoing feature here of Stick Figure Night Live comics have spawned their very own “spin-off” site, appropriately named stickfigurenightlive.com. While I’ll continue to upload the comics where they’ve been posted here (click “Comics” above), at stickfigurenightlive.com, you’ll also get the occasional “commentary track” talking about the process behind the … Read more
Going Green with Turtle Power
It occurred to me that while I’ve been working fairly steadily on comics and comic related business in 2010, everything I’ve been working on won’t see print until 2011…and some of it won’t even see print in the United States.
So come February 2011, SPONGEBOB COMICS #1 will start the bi-monthly run of that series. More on that in the coming months, I’m sure.
And in the past month or so I’ve got a new cultural comics icon to add to my “I’ve worked on…” list: the heroes in a half shell themselves, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. There’s a slight catch though. Remember when I said “some of it won’t even see print in the United States?” Well, these TMNT comics are being published in the UK, Russia, Poland, etc.
So for what it’s worth, I thought I’d share a couple of pages of inks of said comics. Here’s a 2-page story wherein the Turtles get into it with the Foot Clan at the Metropolitan Museum of Art:
Comic-Con 2010!

I will have books, original art, and prints for sale, along with doing “sketches by request”, as usual. Over the years a lot of people have lamented the growth of the con and that “it’s not even … Read more
X-BABIES: STARS REBORN – “Graphic Novel” Edition
Tomorrow, June 3, the X-Babies mini-series I wrote gets released in its “graphic novel” collected edition; all four issues, alternate covers, and even some design/development sketches…96 pages under glorious paperback stock covers!
With its release, I wanted to share an e-mail sent to myself and (X-Babies artist) Jacob Chabot shortly after the release of X-BABIES #4 in January. It’s a long one, even edited a bit for content (and be warned, there are spoilers) but worth sticking with it. The sender, Dennis, wrote:
