YO JOE!!!




It is now official! I am currently working on GI JOE for the relaunch of the title through IDW Publishing. I will be penciling and inking the main (classic) title, written by Larry Hama (creator of GI JOE). Issue #0 will be available in Oct this year, and Issue #1 will be available this Jan.

This cover preview is going to be 1 of 2 covers I drew for Issue #1. Here is the inked line art, the color proof, and initial sketch.

This last week Ive been in San Diego for the Comic Convention here. IDW publishing is based out of SD, so I’ve had a good time getting to know the editors and staff there. As art for GI JOE has come out or is previewed I will start uploading up to my website, so check back for updates and news on GI JOE.
At the convention I was asked to participate on a panel that previewed material for GI Joe. There have been a few articles that reported on how all that went. It was a lot of fun meeting Larry and getting the chance to work with him.
