MIRANDA MERCURY GARNERS FOUR GLYPH AWARD NOMINATIONS!

The nominees for the 2012 Glyph Awards — honoring the best comics by and about African Americans, have been announced, and I’m excited to share the news that Miranda Mercury scored four mentions in the following categories- Story of the Year, Best Writer, Best Artist, and Best Female Character.

Congrats to our fellow nominees and my creative team as Miranda continues to build momentum months after the book’s release. More to come and our girl is in great company this year. Full list of nominations is in the link above.

Moebius’ art was an unfiltered, uncensored, view into pure IMAGINATION. A gateway, if you will, into the very essence of Ideaspace. There was nothing biased or restricted in his art. He was the model for IDEAS that bled from the unconscious mind. He is the Dream Defined.

I recently did a How-To video of how I convert pencils to blue-line for inking.

*whew*
It’s been crazy busy around here for me.

First off this is the first time I’ve been employed by comics ALL year long.  No breaks, no lulls.  Straight through, every month, all year long.  It’s a crazy high, I gotta tell you.  It’s nowhere NEAR easy, but it’s a great ride.

Second, I moved.  The wife and I decided to build a home this time, because then we could be as picky as we wanted and then GET what we wanted so that she and I and our 3 boys would have enough room.   It doesn’t come without its pitfalls, though, lemme tell ya.  It was nowhere near easy.  And we’re still getting settled.

Third….well…those 2 were enough.  For pretty much the last 6 months we’ve moved and I’ve moved mountains keeping up with the deadlines and some of them were pretty nasty.  I was reminded at how lucky I am to be working at DC and other publishers at this past years’ FCBD when a local guy asked what I had set up for myself at the end of the long table and I just half-heartedly, with fatigue heavily set in, remarked how I was just showing my DC work.  His eyes lit up and he said, “COOL, man, so you’re really living the dream!  That’s awesome!”  And like cold water being splashed on my face, after months of intense deadlines and worrying, it hit me… Oh yeah!  This is freakin’ cool.  And it is.  I’m so thankful to be doing this and that people like my work,  its just hard to put into words how much I appreciate everything going on right now.  Don’t get me wrong, it’s a struggle and it’s damn hard work.

But, man, what a payoff.

I can’t thank all of you enough who have repeatedly Fav’d my work, when I actually got around to posting it.  Thank you all a ton and see you next year.

I am caught up on my commissions finally and the people I owe can finally stop cussing me out.  Because I know they are.

These first 2 are commissions pieces I did over Sunny Lee.

These next 2 are from Sean “Cheeks” Galloway.  Just some ForFun pieces.

This is a commission over Kevin Sharpe.  Crazy Fun.

Last up is another ForFun piece by my good bud, Lee Ferguson.
