A comic by Mark Andrew Smith and James Stokoe with baseball players trying to defeat flesh-eating monsters? YES PLEASE. This looks all kinds of amazing. Support this book, because it’s going to melt your face with awesomeness.

Working on something new!

This was a special edition of the regular webcomic I draw, A Garagem de Kubrick (wonderfully scripted by my friend J.B. Martins), that we did back in December of 2010.

For this edition, we collaborated with our friend Filipe Melo to pay homage to a movie-loving friend who passed away - João Serra, o Senhor do Adeus.

PS - Keep an eye out for Filipe’s awesome comic, The Incredible Adventures of Dog Mendonca and Pizzaboy, now available on Amazon.

It’s about time! Here my part of An Art Jam of Ice and Fire with the always brilliant Mike Horowitz. We had to draw a character and their corresponding sigil. My piece was late, but Mike delivered and awesome rendition of Jojen Reed last week, so if you haven’t seen it yet, make sure you go to his tumblr and check it out.

I love Game of Thrones - both the series and the books (I’m currently reading A Dance With Dragons) - and the hard part was deciding which character to draw. I’ve drawn Ned Stark, Jon Snow and Jamie Lannister in the past, so I wanted to try someone new. I ended up picking Joffrey, because he’s just so damn hateable. I think we all love to have that one character we hate, and for me that’s Joffrey. He’s just so cruel and twisted, I can’t stop myself from hating him with every fiber of my being. That being said, I had fun drawing him!

I just had to resist adding in a speech bubble to make him say “I’m a little shit”.

Stay tuned for more future drawing jams between me and Mike!

Jojen Reed

Part of An Art Jam of Ice and Fire with Carla Rodrigues! Her part is still on the way, but here’s mine in the mean time. We had to draw a character and their corresponding sigil and I’m in a very Jojen kind of mood lately, so here you go!

Mike is such a fantastic artist. Just look at this awesome Jojen Reed. LOOK AT IT, I SAID. I love this.

I fell behind on drawing my part for our An Art Jam of Ice and Fire, but I promise it’ll be here soon. Mike really set the bar high, but then again he always does, because he rocks.

Don’t exactly know what this is - just another weird work doodle.

This is a commission I worked on, late last year. It was for someone to give to their daughter on Christmas. I think everyone was really happy with it, and it was fun to work on. It gave me a chance to draw some japanese food, which is something I’ve never done before!

Hope you like it.

Oh, hey, no big deal or anything, but I have a comic coming out this week.

This is what it looks like if you want to purchase a copy from your local comic shop!

I’ve been told that it’s already sold out at the distributor level, and Boom! is going back to press on a second printing, which, means you need to rush out this Wednesday and get one of the more valuable first printing editions!

Seriously though, if you dudes and lady dudes have enjoyed what we do at Let’s Be Friends Again or what I do across my many Tumblrz, it’d mean a lot to me if you picked a copy of this up and let me know what you think.

Even better would be if you picked a copy up and then let Boom! know that you were buying it because of me.

You know, just a tweet or an email saying you liked my art and they should keep paying me to make comics for them. That kind of thing. #shameless

I’ll post some of my process/behind the scenes stuff later to try to entice you further.

It was really an amazing learning experience on a number of fronts, and I can’t wait for you guys to see it and to hear what you think!

PS I’d appreciate your reblogs here to help me get the word out. You have my thanks in advance, because you are so wonderful.

Hey guys! Since I don’t have anything new I can show you right now, here are some sketches another personalized issue of Zombies vs. Cheerleaders that my friend Fil commissioned me a while back.

As you may or may not know, I love books. I love books and I love my bookshelf to the point where I can just sit and stare at it and love it (yeah, I’m kind of weird). So I decided to finally share with the world a photo of part of my bookshelf. There are books behind these books so this is only part of what I have, but you can have fun spotting comics and stuff. 

GO!
