WIP TWILIGHT SPARKLE FAN ART

It’s been a long time since I did an Equestria Girl fan art, and I thought I’d give Sunset Shimmer a bit of a break and try another girl. So I’m trying Twilight Sparkle with Glasses (or Sci Twi as some know her).

Kevin Eastman at Fan Fusion

So this weekend I attended my first convention since moving to AZ, and after waiting in line for over an hour, I got a signing (and selfie) with one of my comic book heroes, Kevin Eastman, one of the two creators of the Ninja Turtles. I’ve read for many years about how he along with Peter Laird created the turtles, about how the two of them lived together in apartment and used what little money they had at the time to self publish the first Ninja Turtle issue and sell it at a convention. Their entire story has been a major inspiration to me as an artist who is just starting out and whenever I’m feeling down or unmotivated, I always open a copy of the first ninja turtles comic to remind myself that ANYONE can make it in this industry. Here he is in this picture signing my 1st vol of the Ninja Turtles ultimate collection, he also signed the Free Comic Book Day copy of the 1st ninja turtles issue I got years ago and keep at my desk. So happy I got to meet him.

Update on projects

A little update on what’s coming up. Chapter 18 of Kalwa is officially done, and Chapter 19 is underway. I’ll be attending Fan Fushion next week in AZ (as a regular attendee), I’ll have little previews in hand of Amber and will be handing them out. As a result, Chapter 19 will probably not begin until after the convention (though the cover will still go up). Meanwhile, the next page of Amber will be up this Friday and I’m also starting work on a preview book for the summer which I will be looking to distribute out in various comic shops in preparation for official published graphic novels this fall. That’s the update for now, more underway…
