…is out today! Head down to your local comic shop or get a digital copy for your computer/iPhone/tablet at Comixology. It’s already gotten some great press, but decide for yourself! Here are a few preview pages:

The new year is already bringing good things my way! I just learned that my submission to ECCC’s Monsters and Dames book was accepted. This book promises to be pretty spectacular, so if you’re going to the con, get your hands on a copy!

And in other news, I managed to do another quick comic for the Tortall Comics Project. This is based off the book Terrier, which is the first in the Provost’s Dog series by Tamora Pierce. Enjoy!

Last year, I posted a summary of my accomplishments of the year, my aspirations for the next, and a super nerdy D&D drawing. Allow me to do exactly the same thing now. This year, I have:

• Graduated from college
• Made the inevitable transition from PC to Mac
• Moved to Portland
• Secured my first ever apartment
• Supported myself as a freelance artist
• Worked on a major new title (Memorial, of course!)

I’m not sure how I’ll top this year as far as accomplishments. Throughout my life, graduation has always been a high point, right before I get thrown back to the bottom of the heap as a terrified freshman. I guess now I’m a freshman at life, and my one goal for 2012 is to get better at it, however slowly.

I hope everyone can look fondly back on this year, and best wishes going into the next. Here’s the nerdy picture I promised.

Just wanted to let everyone know that the first issue of IDW’s Memorial is out!

Coloring this book has been my main project for the last few months, and I’m thrilled that it’s now in reader’s hands. Written by Chris Roberson, penciled and inked by Rich Ellis, it is an expansive modern fantasy story that won high praise from USA Today. You can read an 11 page preview online, and if you like what you see, make sure to pick up a copy at your local comic shop!
