Hey all!
Real quick, I have a few beautiful 11×17 in prints left over from the Chicago Comic Con. Here’s what they look like:
If you’re interested, please email me at artisticgorillaprod@gmail.com . They are 10 dollars each, and about 8 dollars for UPS shipping, depending where you live. Otherwise, enjoy this image! It’s actually one of my favorite Space-Mullet illustrations yet.
Don’t be a stranger!

I’ve been doing some character concepts this week, because I haven’t had time to do any pages(drat). Here’s a little preview of an upcoming character joining our cast soon…Get excited.
This weekend my wife is performing The Taming of the Shrew with The Suitcase Shakespeare Company at the Bristol Renaissance Faire in Wisconsin. I don’t know if any of you frequent Bristol, but if so, look out for them today and Sunday, they put on a wonderful show. I will be at all the Sunday shows, so if you come by, look for me and say hello!
Stay nerdy,

During comic con, and after, quite a few people have told me that my style reminds them of some Simon Roy drawings, who helped revamp the comic series Prophet. I’m a hug fan of Roy, so this made me seriously happy. So, to warm up to finish a Space-Mullet page, I tried my hand for the first time at drawing John Prophet. Started with mechanical pencil, then moved to Holbein drawing ink with my No. 0 Windsor Newton Series 7, and finished with some Copics. A good time!
The Prophet trade comes out August 22nd. If you’re into comics at all, I would buy it. If the art isn’t enough, check out this awesome inventory panel in issue 21. Nerd-nastic.
I WILL have something like this coming up in Space-Mullet. It’s just too cool to not include it. Such a geek.
Post on Comic Con coming soon, promise.

Hey guys! It’s been a while since the last update, so I thought that I’d post a few random sketches, just so you have something to look at. At the end of the day, when I’m in bed or just winding down after doing commission work, I like to just sketch stuff out without thinking much. It helps get out all my “junk” drawings. It’s also nice to not be constricted by panel borders. As I’m sure all of you comic artists agree, sometimes you just want to draw, and not worry about drawing people in a room talking. Sometimes these sketches help me flesh out an entirely new storyline. Anything could happen.
Here’s a little doodle I did when my wife left for her tour with her Shakespeare company, and I was super lonely. Not like I have conversations with my characters out loud or anything……Brush pens and PS tones.
Here is another illustration I did when I was concepting Jonah’s space marine costume, which I used in the first few pages of the comic. I had worked out quite a few kinks at this point, so this was a final “this is it” design. I used the Pentel Brush Pen and some Copic markers. Love those.
Here’s a little more practicing with my main character, with my trusty Pentel color brush pen.
And here’s a little action shot of Alphius kicking some butt. Brush pen again!
That’s it for now! I hope to keep updating the blog with more of these. I always love it when my favorite artists put up their sketches, so I’m just following suite, I guess. New comic coming tomorrow, and that will also launch the 2 comic pages a week schedule! Also! An official announcement comes tomorrow! Keep an eye out!
Get pumped!

I meant to upload this a few days ago, but I went over 1000 page views on Space Mullet! As of right now, we are almost at 1300 page views! Thank you to everyone who visited the past few weeks, you guys are awesome. You made my dream come true! I made this little illustration just for you guys. I’ve always wanted to make comics, and now I am, and at least a few people are reading my creation(s).
I’m going to try to have a new page up here by the end of the day. I’m planning on moving to a weekly schedule starting on Monday, so get ready!
Thanks again! Please share!
