Great review. We’re the first one in the lineup.

Sara is a winner.

Congrats to the 2008 Oregon Book Award winner, my wife Sara Ryan! Sara won for her second novel The Rules for Hearts. For those of you who only know me through my work, I illustrated Sara’s stories on Me and Edith Head, Flytrap, and Hellboy:Weird Tales. It’s difficult for me to say to say just how immensely proud I am of her. But hey, that shouldn’t stop you! Go visit her blog and tell her!

Whiteout Poster

I just realized I’ve never posted this. It’s a new poster for the Whiteout movie. This shot was taken by the good folks at shocktillyoudrop.com who snapped a much, much better picture than I did.

I’m on Morning Edition

NPR’s Neda Ulaby spoke to a bunch of us at Periscope Studio about how we listen to music. Alas, they credit me as the writer of Whiteout instead of the illustrator. Sorry Greg! Anyhow, I woke up to this story and slapped at the clock radio on instinct, then realized I’d cut myself off in mid-sentence.

Article at Comic Book Resources

Brian Cronin discusses my work at Comics Should Be Good.

Comicon schedule.

steve — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 09:24:47 +0000

I’ll be in artists alley at table GG-14 for all five(!) days.

Friday

Signing with Greg Rucka and Matthew Southworth at Oni Press 1:30pm.

I’m on a panel on teaching comics at 5:00 PM, room 5, moderated by Douglas Wolk.

Sunday at 10 AM signing at the Hero Initiative book.

The rest of the time, I’ll either be at my table earning money or Stuart Ng’s booth spending it. Hope to see some of you folks there.

And I guess this belongs with Comicon- I was surprised to see I got to deliver the sum-up quote in Kristi Turnquist’s article in The Oregonian on Portland’s place in the ongoing tsunami of wildly successful comics-based movies. I don’t think she’s right about the Whiteout date, though. They’re going to release that, plus the poster and a trailer at Comicon on Friday at the Dark Castle panel.

About the Crime Bible illustrations.

“The faux-engravings were put together with a combination of very old and very new techniques. For the first four, Greg would send me the script and whatever art was completed for the issue, and I’d build a new illustration to match the composition of an important panel, creating an allegory for that issue’s ‘lesson.’ ”

The folks at vicsage.com spoke with me about my illustrations for Greg Rucka’s DC comics miniseries The Crime Bible: Five Lessons of Blood.

The Whiteout movie has a composer.

Whiteout date announced?

I have no inside information at all, so I can’t confirm this, but it’s being reported all over the net that the WHITEOUT movie will be hitting theaters on September 19th. The source for the story seems to be Shock ‘Til You Drop. Again, my posting this doesn’t mean it’s official. It’s just something someone wrote on a website.

More Whiteout linkage: This podcast reviews the two graphic novels. (The review starts about half way in.)

And I just uploaded it into the portfolio section of this site, so you can now read the entire first issue here for free.

Hey, new website!

Just in time for my birthday, a new site! And it wasn’t designed for html 2.0! I was a guest at the Emerald City Comicon last week. If you want to know what that was like, check the Haikus on the Periscope blog. Also from the Periscope blog, here’s a commissioned sketch of Omar from The Wire. (Big, big thanks to Mike Jusenius for getting me a scan so quickly!) I rarely do con sketches of “real” people, but after the Wire-Simpsons mash-up drawings outed me as a big Wire fan, the requests started coming in. I geeked out pretty hard doing this one, and it was fascinating to imagine illustrating a Wire story as a crime comic.
