It's official I'll be working on an un-annouced graphic novel/comic book series with Radical comics. Radical is new comic book publisher which focus on high concepts painted sequentials and comic book to film properties, a few of their projects are already being made into films including Hercules and Freedom Formula, you can check it out at Radicalcomics.com.
I also will be working on a big film project in the coming months. Will fill everyone in as I get authorized info.
While surfing on the web I found this great 3D work in progress rendition of a concept I created of Slithe of the Thundercats by Jukka Tahtinen looking forward to seeing it all textured and finished, cool!

A pitch illustration for a commercial that never happend /Nexus productions
Hey all Sidebar a popular website dedicated to comics, art and pop culture has posted a recorded audio interview I did with them in Feb. The sites articles and interviews are run by Swain and Dwight some of the coolest funniest dudes in the comics-sf-and fantasy generes you will ever meet. I had a blast chatting with those guys, and hope to hook up at Dragoncon.
So it's 2009 can you believe it? time flys when your having fun and paying bills :). No joke though wow where have all the years gone by? It feels like yesterday that I graduated from the School of visual arts to pursue an illustration career at a young age of 20 in the depths of New York city. The good old days of lugging my massive portfolio around the streets of Manhattan and on the subways through millions of humanity all around me and pigeons too lots of pigeons.
It's been a hell of a journey with many ups and downs but thats life you can't have the good without the bad you cant have the light without the darkness, it's like when you paint you need lights and darks and even some grey to make a picture, it's the small choices and values you use to create your master piece or disaster.
Well enough rambling, on to the art. I've updated my concept gallery with some ThunderCats re-imagined concepts, you can find the images here in the concept gallery first page. These are not connected to Warner bros, these our strictly fan art I created on my own. I really want to see the property develop as it has a lot of potential to impact a new generation of fans, it just needs the right direction and care. I grew up watching the cartoons and enjoyed coming home from school and not doing math homework to watch some Thundercats.
