Coffee run





This is a piece for a Wolverine-themed art auction to raise funds for the Joe Shuster Awards. They should be putting the prints on eBay sometime this month.

I wanted to draw Wolverine doing something mundane and Canadian, and I wanted to draw a leather jacket. Also, pay attention everyone- I've found a new way to avoid drawing feet!

Wolverteen



I have two excuses for this picture. 1: I didn't think of it, someone on Canadian Geek came up with the word, and 2: it's from drink & draw.

And this is a movie called "Planet of (the?) Dinosaurs" from 1978 that my brother and I watched all the time as kids. Aaaalll the time! Now you can watch the entire thing on youtube.

To summarize

Ok, well, it's been a really busy few weeks! Three weeks ago was the Calgary Expo, where Vicious Ambitious's ROCKET JUICE debuted:



That's the sci-fi anthology in which my first TEENS IN LOVE IN SPACE strip appears! I hope to do many more.

I also did a Wolverine "Art Appreciation" variant cover for War Machine #5- a tribute to John Singer Sargent (kind of a daunting task). I painted him as Patch:



Last weekend, of course, was FREE COMIC BOOK DAY, and I went up to Happy Harbor in Edmonton with Nick, Steve Gervais and Chris Peterson for a dinner, movie, all-day sketching/signing, BBQ, party, interview with Ed the Sock and Liana K, hotel room gambling, and fried breakfast. Steve Rolston won all my laundry money again with one of his handcrafted games of chance. And Steph Chan did a really good writeup of the day for CBR.
