Green Lantern Commission

I don't do fan commissions very often, because I rarely have the time...I always figure that if I have time to do a commission, I have time to do another page of whatever book I happen to be working on. I also rarely draw superheroes. So that makes this piece a rarity in at least two ways. But this particular fan really wanted my take on Green Lantern, and was willing to pay handsomely, so who am I to say no? I left him waiting about six months, though, because I'm that busy. Still, I'm happy with the way it turned out, so here it is, for all to see:

Whenever I do stuff in two-colour, people always say it reminds them of my buddy Mike Cho, which I take as a compliment. I just want to state for the record, though, that I was doing two-colour when Mike was in short-pants. Although he's a lot better at it than I am (shhh...don't tell him, though!)

Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2009, everybody.

It's going to be a strange year for me. I'm going to have absolutely nothing new coming out, book-wise, but I'm going to be working like a dog producing the small mountain of material that will be released in 2010. It's going to seem to fans as if I've dropped off the face of the Earth, when in reality this is certain to be the busiest twelve months of my entire career.

Ah, well. Followers of this blog will be able to keep up to date with what I'm working on, at least, and I promise to update regularly. There's going to be lots to look at, and I may--pending publisher approval--serialize portions of the new books here before they're released, so that 2010 may come early for those of you dedicated enough to check in often.

Until then, let's kick off the new year with another sneak peak at the pencils for Three Thieves: Tower of Treasure. Just for fun.
