I did this way back in the early days of my career when I was working on AAAHH!!! Real Monsters. This is from the one where Krumm had to wear glasses, so they took him to a Monster Eye Doctor..

It's out today! THE ULTRA VIOLETS is now in stores, with cover art & interior pencils by me, and clean-up art by the awesome Ethen Beavers, who's work you've seen in comic book versions of Samurai Jack, Batman: Brave & the Bold, and Generator Rex. You can order your copy HERE, or get a digital version for your iPad or Kindle.

Here's some of my initial rough character concepts for the Ultra Violets.

Here's my cover art for THE ULTRA VIOLETS, BOOK 2: POWER TO THE PURPLE!* You can pre-order your copy HERE.

*This time out, my day job drawing cartoons for TV left me too busy to do the interior art, so for this one, they'll be handled by the supremely-talented Ethen Beavers! (Who also provided inks for my artwork on Book 1)

I was recently interviewed on Cartoons On the Radio, a cartoon-centric radio show from Free Radio SAIC, the student-run internet radio station of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. If you wanna hear me talk about cartoons, my animation career, and possibly the merits of New York vs. Chicago pizza, you can stream it HERE or you can download it HERE for listening on your favorite iDevice.

SPOILER: Controversial pizza statements were made.

I can finally share the news about one of my latest projects-- Next year will see the release of THE ULTRA VIOLETS, written by Sophie Bell with illustrations by ME! Published by Penguin Books for young adult readers, it tells the story of "four spunky BFFs who accidentally end up on the wrong side of a genetics experiment and become superheroes... THE ULTRA VIOLETS!"

It won't be released until April 2013 (This is a not-quite-final cover), but you can pre-order the book HERE! (...and even for your iPad or Kindle, too!)
