Our last article below discusses about the Black Panther variant cover we did and that I’d inform fans of any updates. Well for one, here’s the digital colors that Marvel commissioned longtime vet colorist to Paul Mounts to do on it! Also, the cover is listed as being reserved for Black Panther: World of Wakanda#6 but our editors said […]
Well, for a cover anyway! (Bare witness to the closest thing to click bait for me;-)) Marvel hired Sal Velluto and myself last month to render a variant cover for the new Black Panther series by Ta-Nehisi Coates and Brian Stelfreeze. I inked the art while I was in-between the Twin Tiers and Terrificon shows. We’d offered […]
Yes, I know that my website has been down for two weeks. There were problems with my new server after trying to migrate from my old server. I just added in to the gallery section the latest show commissions I completed this summer (see newsflash updates above). Hopefully we’re all good here now. Next week […]
On May 16 friends of my oft-art partner Sal Velluto created a GoFundMe page to assist Sal with financial debt accrued from surgical/medical procedures to treat his recent cancer illness. He is recovering but he lost work income putting him thousands in debt. Sal did not reach out for help but he is too much in need to deny […]
The article was posted on Bleeding Cool and the video countdown resides there and on YouTube from July 15. My comments on Facebook were: “(We’re proud) to have worked on one story on this Marvel TOP TEN BLACK PANTHER STORIES list with #5 “Killmonger’s Rage” which was our (Priest/Sal Velluto/Almond) longest epic at like a dozen chapters, but I’m surprised not […]
2016: it’s been a year of announced deaths in record levels. My health’s been better. Lots of drama. Time has seemingly sped up leaving me no time to get anything done. Not a fan. I am still doing simultaneous work for Kingstone Media and Ravesnake Comics but I’m in-between things at the moment. I […]
Since my last update (in part 1) about inking Richard Bonk for two short stories I have been reunited with my oft-partner Sal Velluto on a story at Kingstone Media. This is our first collaboration (outside of commissions) in 6 years since some Phantom ‘ghost’ (uncredited) inkwork for Egmont Comics. After that I inked a few pages over Paul […]
A LOVE/HATE OBSERVATION I MADE ON FACEBOOK TODAY: I’ve been continuously working the past few years on either assignments or commissions but they’ve not been mainstream assignments so to the comics community my status is probably MIA or ‘dead’;-) But thanks to the Marvel Cinematic Universe my earlier work has been making the rounds in overdrive since this […]
Speaking of those ‘non-mainstream assignments’, since my last update below (“Two Bob Bits”) for those ‘fans of faith’ who may be interested: I have inked two stories so far for Kingstone Comics for their ‘Kingstone Bible’, both over the pencils of Richard Bonk- ‘Amos’ and ‘Habakkuk’. And I will be getting more work coming up over some […]
*First off, if you live in the New England area and plan to attend the Rhode Island Comic Con on November 6-8 I will again be in artists alley alongside my Inkwell Awards. I’ll have copies for sale of the first edition to The Black Panther by Christopher Priest: The Complete Collection but regrettably the second edition ships the following […]
