Sup folks, Sorry I been MIA I been up to a lot of things since I last posted. Make sure to keep an eye out for up in coming posts lots of cool stuff I have yet to show you.

My final chapter of Batman Beyond 2.0 is finally out and I just wanted to publicly thank the rest of the Batman Beyond 2.0 team for being such an awesome bunch of guys.

Choosing to leave Batman Beyond 2.0 was a very difficult decision. I wish I could have continued on the book indefinitely. However, due to my growing work schedule at Titmouse Animation and my book, Tech Jacket, I was not able to give Batman Beyond the proper attention that I felt it deserved. To me, that would be a disservice to the character and to the team.

Though my role as colorist is a small part of a bigger picture, I do hope that the fans enjoyed what I brought to the comic. Working on the book was possibly the best professional experience I have had at DC Comics to date.

Know that this is not the end of me coloring things Batty related or for DC. The door is still open to small runs and covers etc. Unfortunately, I just cannot commit to a full series at this time.

To Alex, Thony and Kyle: I wish you guys good luck on the chapters to come.

This is for you.

Things have been really crazy as of late sorry for not posting a lot of Original art. I haven't had much time to do any drawing. That said I have a lot of cool projects coming up so stay tuned. 

I have to say that this year is quite possibly the best and worst year I have known. Earlier this year my mother was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer and my grandmother recently passed away. I can't say that this hasn't affected me. This has been a long and stressful year and it's been a little hard to find the strength to move forward when things seem like they are going wrong.
"When life gives you lemons you make lemonade". Despite this I got to work on two successful animated shows Metalocalypse and Black Dynamite and I got to draw my first comic miniseries. I also reconnected with my family.
I also wanted to apologize to the fans of Charismagic: the Death Princess for the lateness of issue two. My goal with the book was to have it come out on schedule but unfortunately life doesn't follow the script.
I am currently finishing off the final five pages of the book and I can't wait for you guys to see it.
Looking forward to 2013, you're going to see a lot from me, well at least I hope you are … I have a tutorial in Photoshop magazine coming, the last half of Charismagic: the Death Princess, Charismatic volume two and some miscellaneous editorial artwork for www.stfuandplay.com/. I also will be making the rounds at the comic shows.

Here's to you 2013

Enjoy Olana of Charismagic: the Death Princess all dolled up in her New Year's outfit.
