			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am going to be at the LA Rock&#8217;N Comic Con this weekend (May 28-30) at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, California and will be set up in Artist Alley booth #914 with Shawn Granger from King Tractor Press.  I&#8217;ll be there showing off artwork and new Nifty Comics merchandise from the Cadre and ElfSong, along with sketching like a madman.  In fact, I&#8217;m doing free sketchcards for anyone that comes up and recites a really cool dirty limerick.</p>
<p>For more information on the show, go to: <a href="http://rockincomiccon.com/" target="_blank">http://rockincomiccon.com/</a></p>
<p>Drop by, pick up a sketch or a DeadPooh print and say &#8220;Hi!&#8221;</p>

<p>Just got word that I&#8217;m going to be a part of Star Wars Day on February 20, 2010 at the Frank &amp; Son show here in Southern California. The event is going to be insane, with Ray Park (Darth Maul), Daniel Logan (Boba Fett) and the 501st all making an appearance. I&#8217;ll be there doing Star Wars sketchcards. I&#8217;ll post more info here as I find it out. You can also drop by the Frank &amp; Son Website at <a href="http://www.frankandsonshow.net/">http://www.FrankandSonShow.net</a></p>
<p>I believe we&#8217;re going to have a table right up front near the guests, but the Comic Book Art Institute Booth (#807) will be open and active with some additional Star Wars related artwork and merchandise, so make sure to check us out at both locations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As many of you know, I&#8217;ve been on a bit of a sketchcard kick of late.  The format is an absolute blast to work in and I&#8217;ve done a bunch of cards over the past month.  Following that topic, I&#8217;d like to announce that I&#8217;ll be participating in my first couple of official trading/sketch card sets.  The first one is for the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation (<a href="http://www.treasurechest.org">http://www.treasurechest.org</a>).  The Treasure Chest Foundation is dedicated to helping out kids with cancer and I&#8217;m honored to get to be a part of that.  I&#8217;ll be doing 50 original art sketchcards for the set, which is due out later on this year.  I believe the event takes place at the Chicagoland Entertainment Collectors Expo. </p>
<p>The second set is for the fine people over at 5Finity (<a href="http://www.5finity.com/">http://www.5finity.com/</a>) and is called &#8220;P&#8217;Ups,&#8221; which is short for &#8220;Pin Ups and Puppies.&#8221;  That&#8217;s right, I&#8217;ll be doing 30 cards for the trading card set dedicated to hot chicks and dogs&#8230;two things I love. </p>
<p>Keep an eye on this spot in the upcoming weeks for a glimpse into the art I&#8217;m producing for the sets and for more information on when they&#8217;ll be released.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The past few days have given me a bit of a shock.  You see, I&#8217;ve started ElfSong.com earlier this week as a place for me to post artwork for the comic, give out information and run a webcomic introduction.  As of right now there&#8217;s nothing really on here for anyone tosee.  The shock has come in the form of a large influx of visitors to the site! </p>
<p>Well, for those of you who have somehow stumbled on to ElfSong.com, welcome!  I&#8217;ll be posting more artwork next week and will be launching the first ElfSong comic in November.  That will run for a few weeks and lead into the ElfSong comic magazine in early 2010.  I can&#8217;t really give an exact date at this point because I&#8217;m putting everything I&#8217;ve got into the artwork and don&#8217;t want to rush the release. </p>
<p>If you have found yourself here in the beginning of the website, drop me a note or leave a comment and let me know how the heck you found it!  I&#8217;d love to know&#8230;and, I&#8217;d love to know what you think of the artwork, especially as I get more added in.</p>
<p>Until next time, Happy Hunting!</p>
