Choose your own adventure! Kinda!

Ok, so this week we’re doing something different. We want to do a kid’s book that doesn’t relate to Captain Dan for a change. (We’re not abandoning Captain Dan or his merry crew or monstrous scallywags, don’t fret) Ashlie has 2 awesome concepts for books, but alas I can only work on one at a…

By Popular Demand: An Art Process Post!

Hola, Minions! So, with the convention season starting and the release of “Captain Dan vs. The Kraken,” I’ve been asked to write up a blog post explaining how I drew the arts for the new book. Now, I don’t often do this kind of thing (and I didn’t plan ahead for this one,) so bear…

2012 – The Conventioning Issue 1 – Wondercon

Sorry about missing last week’s update, folks; convention season has officially started. Last week I was in Anaheim, CA for Wondercon and let me just start off my saying: WHOA! I came to Wondercon with a blank slate, not having ever done the show before and knowing that it was moving to a different city…

I’d better get KRAKEN!

CaptDanKraken

If you follow my FB, Tumblr and Twitter pages then you know that today I have big news. (And if you don’t, why not? ;p) Today, I’d like to announce my candidacy for Pres… Oh wait. I’m getting ahead of myself. I can’t do that for a minimum of 5 more years. No, what I’d…

I have my EYE on you!

Not much to say this week, folks, so enjoy some arts! The Hobbit warmups I did for the past week or so combined into one big piece. The Sauron piece is a new Valentine’s Day Card that is available RIGHT NOW

Hobbitses.

Hola Minions! So, I don’t have much to say this week, to be honest. I am severely behind on the next Capt. Dan book (shocking, I know) because I spent a lot of my time out and about working on something really big that I can’t share yet. Murph. So, instead let me share with…

Get the Heck Out of Dodge

Hi Minions! Sorry I missed my update last week. As you know, I spent the last week and a half in Dodge City, Kansas (yes, it is a real place and not just a made-up old west town) with my In-laws, and updating a blog on the ipad is a pain in the buttocks. I…

Frustration and design contests

For this week’s blogpost, I’m posting a couple of open letters that my wife and I recently wrote to the President about his campaign’s “ArtWorks” poster design contest. I’ll also post up a doc format of the letter in case you want to share this on your own blogs and whatnot. Dear Mr. President, Recently…

That time of the year, again?

So, it’s that time of the year, again. No, not the holidays (although it is indeed THAT), I mean the end of convention season 2011. This year was our biggest yet, with our favorite show Emerald City leading off the season leading into Sakuracon, Stumptown, our triumphant return to Phoenix Comicon after a year away,…

Thankfullness and sketchiness!

Howdy, Minions! So, I wanted to start this post off with something cliched like a Black Friday Deal or something, but thought better of it (that’s coming further down, I promise). Instead, I want to talk about you guys and gals and your awesomeness. As I mentioned in past posts, I recently decided to take…
