Sooner or Later. . .

I wanna update this thing more often but most of what i've been on isn't published yet. That and right now there's just no time for personal stuff. I'm multigrindin' in every direction (yeah i made that word up...you can use it). Also, I'm workin' on a 'big picture' project that i'm keeping close to the chest for now. Just wanted to let yall know there's something big on the horizon. more on that later. . .

Whats that? you wanna know my plans for 2010? well, readers... I plan on getting alot out to you. Not just content but quality. There are stories that need to be told and I'm doin the tellin'. So stay tunned. more on that SOON.

Nothin really to post lately, so here's some work stuff. Early stages of a work in progress (or 'wip' for cool people...or 'wo n pro' for douches). This whole peice is actually close to completion but I stopped saving process shots....so....that's all you get.
Hope you dig it like a shovel.

You can find me @ the Deep Blue booth (B02) with issues 1 and 2. You can also pick up some prints or get a sketch from me on the spot (well...not really on the spot...give me at least like 15 minutes). So swing by to get your fill or just to meet and chop it up. look for the banner below (or the booth with the most attractive artist there) and you'll find us.
Lookin' forward to meetin' everybody.

Where it comes from . . .

So, people ask me all the time. . .
"Roc, why are you so super talented, amazingly handsome and an all around enjoyable person to be in the presence of?" . . .the question is usually something like that.
So here's the answer. . .I'm awesome.
nah, seriously though. most of my creative qualities come from my dad. I got this text from my brother with this pic of my Dad's latest Barack Obama piece. I'm always in awe of his stuff, especially since he hardly ever sits down to draw at all. So I thought I'd show it off.

Just updatin' with some commissions I did a little while ago. I should really start postin' this stuff as soon as I do it, 'cuz by time I get around to it I don't like it anymore.

By the way, commissions will be opening back up soon and it's going to be a "SUMMER SALE EXTRAVAGANZA!". . . .that's what I call it. So stay tunned.
