Coming soon to a Galaxy near you




As a treat for the start of the new year, I am showing you this exclusive first taste of the sci-fi graphic novel I am working on. It is a work in progress, but I like the energy of these characters so much.. I could not help myself.
So enjoy.

Rolling with it.




When life throws you obstacles, trials and tribulations; don't just sit there and dwell on your misfortune... roll with it and use that experience to try harder. There is no time to lose!

This is a lesson that I am applying right this instant. I have taken part in a Comic book contest and just now received that my submission has not been retained. The theme of the contest was " Views on the city." The prize was a ticket to go to Angoulème (France) to take part in the international comic book convention hosted there every year.

On a more positive note, it has allowed me to finally try my hand at a more finished product than I am used to. I can now finalize my work as much as possible thanks to this experience. Every opportunity is there for you to learn something.
More will come for sure.

Here is what I handed in. Enjoy.

No time to waste !!




I have been writing and drawing so much these days. Don't you hate it when , after being very productive for quite a while you take a breather ( to see what the outside world looks like! ). You come back to the drawing board to continue your work, and then... nothing!
Your brain decided to take a vacation and whatever you do it won't let you get back in work mode. Sucks right??
Well it's been happening very often these days. If you have any tricks to make the brain stop taking week-long breaks... please...share the info.

So anyways, I have some brand new stuff coming out this week. Here is a sampler. A helluva lot more is coming.
Brace yourselves !!
