This sure is a real point of pride for me. I think back to my youth spent poring over Stan Lee and John Buscema's How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way and the number of times that I heard kids tell me they'd see my name in Marvel comics. I never believed them and I'm surprised and a little proud of myself for this. My cap just got a feather! I'll have more broohaha as the release date approaches.

Psst! Upcoming Marvel Comics Project!

Over the last couple weeks I've been working on a short story for an upcoming Marvel comic. Yes, this is my first invite into the House of Ideas and I can't wait to show you what I did! The above image will have to do for now. I'll keep you posted with maybe some more art previews as we get closer to showtime.

In the meantime, you can always take a look at the new Facebook group for XOXOs! There you will find some sneak peaks at upcoming projects by myself as well as studiomate, George O'Connor. Whaddaya waiting for!? Git!
