Black Mane II: The Beginning  

Opening sequence to the Death of Black Mane and the Feared Self

Black Mane: intro pages   

Beginning pages from the Xeric award winning Black Mane

My take on Marvel Characters

This was an idea I wanted to pitch. One page stories pitting two heroes against each other.

Enjoyed meeting you at MOCCA!

Am enjoying my copy of Black Mane very much! You're great at faces and expressions (and body language, too), especially when you show people "hulking out". Your style reminds me of Kyle Baker in places.

Nice to hear from you, Mike. What have you been up to since SPX?

[ Posted by michaellariccia on Feb 8th, 2007 6:23 PM ]... Hey Jamal, I just did a solo exhibition of my sequential work at the Sequential Art Gallery in Portland Oregon. It was really cool and I met a lot of really suppportive comic artists out there. I have a Ninja Turtles frontpiece appearing in Tale of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in July, and I have a story in the new Futurius anthology which will be coming out in the Fall. I am also doing posters for the Steve Allen Theater in California, as well as working on finishing the first half of my second book. I am also looking for additonal anthologies and comics I can contribute to. That's it in a nutshell. What is new with you?

[ Posted by ljamal on Feb 8th, 2007 7:32 PM ]... For me? Just more Warmageddon stuff. 56-60 pages every 3-4 months keeps you pumping out material.

Took ya long enough. Finally recovered from Ikkicon over here.

Goddamn those sample pages of BM2 are gorgeous.

Be keeping in touch.

	[ Posted by GinckPress on Feb 6th, 2007 7:17 PM ]... It took place right here in Austin. People came from all over the State just to dress up and buy anime/manga stuff. Didn't break even though, but I did manage to increase exposure and what have you. Got quite a few different ideas from the experience. Definitely won't be the last anime-con that I do. J.
