This is a gag I did for The Abominable Charles Christopher, which pays homage to the posters for The Social Network. I’d better go and see that movie again, because I can’t stop thinking about it.
And you can even ‘Like’ this post using one of the new ‘social’ buttons below! How’s that for synergy? ;)
This was fun. It’s been a few years since I did Teen Titans: Year One, so returning to some familiar characters for a cover was kind of like going home again. Look for this one as a variant cover of issue #90!
Hi, all!
Just a quick post to let you know that I’ll be attending the New York Comic Con this weekend (October 8-10), and I’ll be sitting in Artist’s Alley at Table D-1 with Cameron Stewart.
We’ll be promoting our upcoming Assassin’s Creed miniseries and I’ll be selling Abominable Charles Christopher books, so come on by and see us!
I can’t believe I didn’t know about this before now.
Nicholas Meyer is the man responsible for one of my favourite movies ever: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and The View From The Bridge is a personal account of his experiences writing and directing the very best of the Star Trek movies.
There are some who disagree that ‘Khan’ is the best Star Trek film of all time (and a fantastic piece of writing even if you’re NOT a Star Trek fan) and those people are all wrong. I feel sad for them.
I stumbled upon this book while browsing Amazon the other day and ordered it immediately. I cannot wait to read it.
Hi, everyone!
Just a quick update to let you know what I’m doing at the San Diego Comic-Con this week! The answer is: not much. I don’t have a table at the show, so I won’t be selling anything or doing scheduled signings. But I’m on a couple of panels that might interest you!
The first is the Assassins Creed: Behind the Brotherhood panel, on Thursday from 3:30 to 4:30 in Room 7AB. I’ll be there with Cameron Stewart, talking about our new Assassin’s Creed comic and revealing more images and story information!
And after that, on Sunday, I’m on the Archaia: All-Ages panel talking about making comics for, well, readers of all ages. I’ll be sharing the stage with David Petersen, Jeremy Bastian and Katie Cook! Check it out in Room 3 between 2:30 and 3:30.
Aside from that, I’ll just be wandering the show floor (and the streets of San Diego) for the week, so if you see me, stop and say hello!
I’m proud to officially announce Book One of The Abominable Charles Christopher, collecting Chapter One of the Eisner-nominated webcomic.
Wrapped in an embossed, faux suede hardcover, this 144-page tome collects all of the comics from the first two years of the series, along with lots of additional illustrations and a 40″ gatefold at the end of the book, featuring an enormous pencil rendering of the key players, all in one scene.
Inside the front cover is a “This book belongs to” page, so you can personalize it for yourself or as a gift to loved ones. I’ve also included a space for sketches, so if you meet me at a show, I can further personalize your book with a one-of-a-kind, original drawing.
I can’t tell you how long I’ve been waiting to announce this. It’s the treatment of the book I want for myself, and it’s been a tremendous amount of work to put together. The files are going to the printer today, so it looks like I’ll be officially launching at TCAF on May 8-10! If you’re going to be in Toronto that weekend, be sure to come by and see me for your own signed copy! And tell your friends! I’m self-publishing this thing, and I can use all the help I can get. :)

While building the new TX Store and the new version of the Abominable site, I started toying with ideas for another shirt design. What I came up with was this image. It was done in Adobe Illustrator as an experiment – I wanted to see if Charles Christopher and the rest of the gang could be translated in different art styles while maintaining their personalities. Turns out they can!
I wasn’t crazy about the way it looked on a shirt, though, so I decided to add some more detail and textures in Photoshop and produce the image as a fine art print – something I plan to do more of in the future.
Here’s a closer look at the full piece, as well as some zoom-ins so you can see the detailing in the textures. These are giclée printed on nice, thick 13″x19″ art paper. I’m very happy with them.
I’m doing four covers for the relaunch of Marvel’s new ‘Marvel Kids’ line, featuring Spider-Man! This is fun for a few reasons: first, I’ve never really had an opportunity to draw Spidey professionally (and along with Batman, he’s one of the earliest characters I can remember obsessing over as a child), and second, it’s a reboot of sorts, which means that Peter Parker is an awkward, gangly high school teenager again, and that, to me, is an integral part of the character.
So here’s the first one!
(The next one is full of ninjas – another childhood dream fulfilled)
Inks by Serge LaPointe (of course) and colours by Nadine Thomas, our new studiomate!
This is what happens when people ask me for sketches of Green Lantern at conventions and signings. Usually they walk away slightly disappointed, but I think these are totally legit! There are WAY weirder characters in the Green Lantern Corps than bears and cats.
By the way, if DC ever wants to do a Green Lanternimals book, I’m in. I don’t need time to think about it.
