Work and Commissions Update
Thursday, January 29, 2009 at 10:47AM
I'd say it's about time for an update on all the goings on around here. (Thanks to all for the inquiries and emails, btw) I've been pretty busy and have a ton of work coming down the pike.
* Comics: The pages for Beau Smith's Parts Unknown are finished and I'm looking forward to seeing those in the comic and eventual GN.
I've been also getting other pages ready to show around as I will be at the New York Comic con coming up next weekend. (Feb 6-8) Last year was awesome, but tiring. I'll be more prepared for it this year and hope to see a bunch of friends I don't get to see often.
* Sketchcards: I know many of you will be happy to know I am signed on for 3 new sets coming out this year. The first is X-men Origins: Wolverine set, which I've started working on already but will be a very limited number.
The second is the X-men Archives set and will be more like the FF and Avengers sets. I also have a little something special planned for that set and hope it works out.
The third set I've signed on for hasn't been announced yet so you'll just have to keep wondering about that one. Over all I've been throwing some different styles around for these new sets just to keep it interesting and different. We'll see how that goes as well. I have no numbers of how many I did for these sets as I haven't even drawn them yet.
* Commissions: Unfortunately, the best laid plans do often go astray, and this first quarter of the year is no exception. I was hoping to start commissions again by mid January, but due to the above mentioned work and the deadlines that have come with them, I have to put off any commissions indefinitely. I will post here and other sites when I eventually will start them up again and to give you guys plenty of warning. Thanks for understanding and stay tuned.
Ebay: I've also been planning on weeding out some of these Sketches I have from various sets
from my personal collection. So keep your eyes open.
Later

Warren, any plans for other conventions this year? Any chance you'll make it to Heroes Con in Charlotte, NC?
Are you accepting any pre-show commission orders?
I'll need to keep my eyes open for when you have commission slots available again!
I actually have no plans at this point for any other shows this year. The NY con will be just a networking show for me as I won't have a table or anything (though I've been invited to sit with a few friends with tables. Without getting into too much boring detail (which I'll save for a boring post) I'm laying low from conventions for a little while till I get a bit more work under my belt.
When I do start doing shows again, I will probably hit up Heroes con and many others, and will most likely take pre-orders as well.
Thanks D

Thanks for the update, Warren! Have fun up there. Several of my faves from Scoundrel will be there @ NYCC - Rich Molinelli, Brian Kong, Dennis Budd, and Nar among many others.
