Zoroaster In Aethiopia Pages Are A Go!

So for the past few months I have been hard at work with my partner R.S. Carbonneau on his web comic: Zoroaster of Aeithiopia. It's an awesome concept about the world's first Monotheist that's coming together quite well if I say so myself. I think Richard really has a great idea and I'm more than honored to have been asked to be a part of it!

So without further adieu, I'd like for you to check out the comic: Zoroaster in Aethiopia

And I'll be posting the individual unlettered pages here once the run is finished. I don't want to spoil it for anyone!

My run starts on this page for anyone who wants to cut to the chase. But for continuity's (and your own enjoyment's!) sake, start at the beginning. It's a fun series to read!

Promo cards are in!

Hi everybody! So super sweet news - my promo postcards are in and they'll be sent out to the artworld in a matter of no time!

A Little Cheesecake

HEY! Back again and rocking something not in my usual vein - Cheesecake! I've not done a lot of pinup work so this is new for me. But I really enjoyed it and it will be available for purchase in two different ways. You can pick up the cheesecake pinup book from Squidworks at Colorado's very own Nan Desu Kon OR you can sport a print of this bad girl at my Deviant Art site.

It's the first official piece I've submitted as print. Curious to see where that'll take me here! So let me know what you think if you'd be so kind as to take the time!

Peace
zak

edit: Fixed a few things that I missed. NOW she's finished!

Thank You!

UPDATED WITH HOT NEW ILLUSTRATION ACTION! (in other words I didn't dig the old one much)

I just wanted to say a very special thank you to everyone who took some time to sit down with me at Comic Con in San Diego this year! I've gotten some great positive feedback and a lot of excellent critiques as well. I'm hitting the ground running with a few projects I had lined up before the con and some super fresh possibilities afterwards as well!

I'd also like to take some time to extend a super awesome thank you to all of you who have supported me through the years and continue to do so to this day. I hope my future endeavors will keep you a fan of the cartooning and illustration I've been doing. I aim to always improve and I hope it's been showing!

So again, thank you very much - you all are super awesome! And if you're just meeting me or discovering my art well don't be shy!

Well It's About Bloody Time, Eh?

SUP?

So let's just launch right into this post. The first five pages are from the Oni Press talent search. I did the story entitled "Medicine Show" by Frank Beaton. I got to meet with him after my interview with James Lucas Jones, and I'm pretty happy to report both guys were super cool, and I think things went pretty well. I tried to soak up as much info as I could with James, and I enjoyed that a lot. Everyone at Oni was very welcoming and it kinda sorta rocks my socks to be treated so nicely. Being that I'm mostly from an illustration background coming into comics didn't phase anyone and it was a nice time! Anyways - I'll let the art speak for itself here.




Alright kids. So the second batch of images are a Spider-Man/Ambush Bug story I decided to pencil out after Ron Perazza recommended I just submit what I do best. Personally I like to say I do it all - but honestly I just draw pencils the best. So here's that's the love with them!







As always you can click on them to make them nice and big if you wear glasses or want that sweet sweet detail.

And in other news I'm FINALLY posting from my computer. The fact that it was a simply ridiculous connection issue with my scanner has made me want to smash brains. But I kinda always wanna smash brains - so what else is new right?

Right.

So I'm back from San Diego Comic Con 2009 and I had a pretty rad time. Everyone I met with there was super fresh, and thank you thank you a hundred times over if you're reading this and took your time with me! For some reason I feel like this con was a billion times more productive than any other one I've been to. People really genuinely liked what I've been up to, I scored some good job ops and saw old friends I haven't seen all year. I call that a successful con, wouldn't you?

So with that in mind - I'm going to get back to working, and again, if you came by or if I got to talk to you in person while wandering the Con - thank you. It's nice to be back home, but I had a great time networking and meeting everyone there!

Peace
Zak

p.s. Remember you can always find more stuff at my deviant site in the links on the side. You can also follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/spicypeanut if you wish to inquire about commissions / jobs or just want to shoot the breeze. I'm more than happy to take some time with ya!

Waiting for the plane

And here I sit by myself waiting for my flight back to Denver. I had a great time at The San Diego Comic Con. I have a metric ton of work to get done when I get home. I'll be finishing and finally posting my pages for Zoroaster in the next week or so, then I start work on Squared Circle. During that time I have my contributions to the Squidworks "Cheesecake" book and and bunch of other one offs that I'm excited about.

Buuuuut unfortunately we're being evacuated from the San Diego airport so I cannot blather on about upcoming stuffs for a bit. Yeah.... Just get me out of this airport already! Ok more art coming up soon. Oh! Someone wanted a commission of the Sniper from Team Fortress 2 - I don't think I have your card from the Con, so get at me and we'll do it. Sorry somehow it got lost in the shuffle. Anycrap - peace

FYI

I coulda sworn I posted this but oh well. I'll be posting from my iPhone until I can get the comp back in sweet working order. So until then (in a few days) life will be iPhone tastic!

But here's my view at Tara McPherson's booth of awesome! Nice lady and a half!
