I draw comics on a part time schedule and was a finalist in the 2006 Draw Blade contest that Marvel Comics and New Line Cinemas sponsored. I've colored pinups for Markosia's Smoke and Mirror, and had a pinup in the BOTS charity book put together by the wonderful folks at Portal Comics. My sequential credits include Tables Turned written by Steven Prouseand published in 803 Studios' Sequential Suicide. The book is available now at the link above. I pencilled an ill fated superhero book as well, no names need be mentioned. I'm also one of the original members of Supreme Knight Studios Look for our next collaborative title this summer at the Heroes Con, Supreme Knight Studios' Mixed Tape Vol. 1. I also hangout with an awesome group of local artists/creators every week- you can see what we're up to at www.sketchcharlotte.comHere's a pinup I did for 803 Studios' KIP  Lastly- here's a pinup for Markosia's Smoke and Mirror TPB that I colored. Beautiful lines by G Gerald Garcia. this was done before I really knew what the heck I was doing in photoshop, but a fun piece to color nonetheless.

Wintergate
Wintergate is the all ages fantasy epic of Eli Green magically taken to the wintergate, a land filled with amazing creatures, magic, and an unknown dark presence.
|
 |
Tables Turned
Sequential Suicide short story written by Steven Prouse. fun to experiment with the brush, mixing my cartoony style with openess of the brush.

This are going really well for us, actually. Our debut book, Eleventh Hour #1 is now available to order from www.orangutancomics.co.uk, we're allready well underway with #2, with ten pages complete, and another twelve pages already pencilled. Also, it looks like Slam Ridley is finally happening, now we've found a new penciller who is actually going to deliver pages! Woohoo! 1 Reply [ Latest posted on June 23rd, 2007 10:47 PM ]

Hectic! LOL!! I've been in recovery for over a month after some back surgery and started therapy this week. other than that- I've gotten the SKS mix tape put together just in time for last weekend's Heroes Con, and am starting working on a new title called The Wish..
How's your studio doing? |

Hey, how've you been? Long time, no type... How are things going on the artistic front? 1 Reply [ Latest posted on December 29th, 2006 7:51 AM ]

[ Posted by jdacosta on Dec 29th, 2006 7:51 AM ]...
Yeah, it's been a long time, for sure- I've been having some serious trouble lately in the art department due to personal issues. I've been struggling to find some inspiration again.
Other than that, I'm Great... :) |
