COMMISSIONS!

Looks like I have a bit of "free time", so I thought I would open myself up to take a few commissions. I hear it's what all the cool kids are doing.

Basically for $50 you get a character of your choice , either one of mine, something from a book I've done, or whatever your little geek heart's desire (I will ignore all furrie requests, unless ironic) drawn by me on 8 1/2 x 14 art paper. There will be ink, inkstain, splatters and whatever the situation calls for. Believe me it will be rad. If you want more characters, it's an additional $20 per character.

Payment through Paypal is required after I send you the initial rough sketch. Paint dries sooooooo slowly, so expect 3-4 weeks for delivery.

Email sullengrey@gmail.com with your requests. Just use "commissions" in the title.

I have 10 - 15 slots open, so get 'em while their open. Makes a great Christmas present for the guy or gal that has everything (from Best Buy).

To celebrate the occasion, here's a fetus...



... on a stick.

4 Colour Blood in the Rue Morgue.

I haven't been doing much updating lately due to sheer amount of new stuff that I've been working on. Unfortunately, I can't show any of it. In fact, it probably shouldn't be shown to anyone. Small old ladies will weep and ooze will come from their eyes.



What I can tell you is that in this months RUE MORGUE, which should be in stores today, features a bit of a write up on SULLENGREY: SACRIFICE. I hope they had nice things to say.

We share the spotlight with Wildstorm's North 40. If you're a fan of Lovecraft, tentacles and bizarre creatures inhabiting small town folk, it's a book you should all be reading. And if none of that strikes your fancy - the main feature is about Left for Dead 2.

I love that game.

Trade you.

First off, Jocelyn and I want to thank each and every one of you that picked up copies of SG:S #1 and #2. The begging for more has been flattering.

(No really. It has. But, um... sending us copious amounts of cupcakes, fancy teas, and/or alchohol is more effective. Just saying.)

Now, for all of you zombies out there that were waiting to preorder the graphic novel version of SULLENGREY: SACRIFICE to read it - the wait is almost over. In fact, this is the last week to do so. I know, so last minute and all.


(There's the cover. Sure is purdy, ain't it?)

We all know the drill. If you want something, you have to ask for it. That means asking your local comic book retailer to PREORDER a copy just for you using code OCT09 0685.
On the off chance that your retailer isn't willing to take a chance or is physically incapable. Here's a few other options:
Amazon.com, TFAW.com, and DCBServices.com just to name a few. The important thing is that you have till October 26th to do so. Show that you want more SULLENGREY with your wallets. Otherwise, we'll find a corner to wither and die in only to replaced by spandex wearing counterparts.

*shudder*

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I admit there is a bit of a double meaning to this post. You see while you're preordering a copy of SULLENGREY: SACRIFICE, you should also get them to order you a copy of fellow artist and warm weather hater Aaron Alexovich's SERENITY ROSE vol 2!

He talks about witch-y stuff here(You WILL like it. I promise.)!

(Yours truly had the honor of doing a pinup for the book.)

On Sale Today (10/07/09)! Sullengrey: Sacrifice #2

It's in stores today! Go get it! Just GO!

Long Beach Comic Con

First off I want to extend a huge thank you to Nancy, Lainey, the staff of Comics Unlimited and all the freaks that came buy to help make our release party for Sullengrey: Sacrifice #1 a spooktacular success! Fantastic people they are!

Jocelyn and I will be attending Long Beach Comic Con this SATURDAY and SUNDAY, OCT 3rd and 4th. You can find us in Artists Alley, sharing Table 62 with David Gallaher (who contrary to belief, is NOT a werewolf but does write the newly released High Moon, a story about werewolves in the Old West you should be reading).

I'll be drawing 8 1/2 x 11 pen & inkwash sketches/ zombie caricatures for those who wish to part with $30. We'll also have copies of SULLENGREY: Cemetery Things TPB and issues 1 and 2 of SULLENGREY: SACRIFICE as well as original art to sell.

Be sure to stop by. And remember cupcakes and alchohol are always appreciated!

Cover(ed).

Here's a sneaky peek at the cover to Sullengrey:Sacrifice #2. Should be hitting stores in late October. Questions will be answered!

Preorder it by using this.

Winchester.

"The creative team behind SLG’s Haunted Mansion comic book turn their attentions to another spooky old house as they tell the story behind one of the Winchester Mansion and it’s owner and designer the enigmatic Sarah Winchester. A pair of curious adventurers go missing after trying to sneak onto the grounds and set things in motion which will reveal the mystery surrounding the old Winchester House. Legend has it that the house was haunted by the ghosts of all the people killed with Winchester rifles, and the only way to appease them was for the house to be continuously under construction."

The details of how all this happened are still fuzzy.

I remember looking up at SLG publisher Dan Vado sitting on his legendary thrown of aborted goblin fetuses. His devious smile peeling back as his voice rasped one single word - "Winchester."

That was a year ago.

I can talk about it now. I'm still a bit shaken from the experience, but that's what the vodka and cupcakes are for. They calm me. Enough so to show you what you, the reader, will be treated when you purchase a copy from your local comic provider in October.

Let's let some of the skeletons out of the closet, shall we? Here's a peek at some of the characters in the book...


Alberto Moran - the caretaker.


Rachel - the detective


Adam Coons - the psychic adviser to Mrs. Winchester


Bessie and the naked aborted screaming flesh sacks - one of the many haunts


... and Harry Houdini! It was rumored that Houdini debunked a "haunting" as a fraud when he was alive. Now he himself is a ghost in the mansion.

Here's a brief David Lynch-esque trailer that the SLG minions made...
