Gallery Show

Glad to say that the review of my thesis went very well a few weeks ago and my work will be exhibited in the Senior Show. The show runs from May 21-24 at the George Segal Gallery next to Kasser Theater on Montclair State Campus.

Now that classes are done with, I'll have a lot more time to continue working on my portfolio and my next planned book. Follow me on twitter (PMCillustration) or on facebook, click the box in the right corner of the page. to see frequent updates on new pieces as I finish them.

'The Other People'- Troll page

Trolls are one of my favorite monsters to draw and I wasn't going to leave them out of my book 'The Other People'. I went for a different design then I would normally use to fit into the world I created. The Trolls are known to be great musicians and they express themselves through music. I really enjoyed designing instruments (I played the french horn in high school) and create a larger illustration with a collection of troll musicians.

The Other People printed edition

I received my printed copies of my book over the weekend when I went home for free comic book day. I was very excited to see that the print quality was great, though pricey for the resale so I wasn't able to buy extra copies to sell at Free Comic Book day. Lots of customers were asking for copies and got me thinking I might do a kick starter or indie go-go for people interested in purchasing a copy and allow me to get a bulk order so it will cost less per book. But that's for the future.

Here's some snap shots of the book.

Over the next few weeks I'll post some of the illustrations I've created for the book. But now to get back to painting.

The Other People

I just sent out my first ever completed book to the printer. It's crazy to think that I started sketching ideas in September, dummy book in October, drew pages in November and December, Inked in January, painted from February to mid March, and designed in April. And was a full time student and had a part time job. I even managed to get other paintings and drawings done. 

My book 'The Other People' will soon be available on tablet readers and for PDF downloads. It will be available for download in person (meaning you pay in cash and I send  you a direct email while I'm at the shop) on May 4 for Free Comic Book day at the Comic Book Shop in Wilmington for a low price. Here's a sneak peak at a page of my book
