This is the piece that i’ll have at the show, it’s featuring The Crimson Corsair, a character that will show up in Force Awakens and i have no clue if he will be cool or not tongue emoticon But he has a cool name and he is a pirate so how bad can he be?

CONVENTION TIME!!!

Hey all, long time no write, its hard keeping the blog going when you have all these social media outlets going on at a daily basis. I should post at least once a month with covers and preview pages from THE WOODS. We are coming up to the middle of the Woods Saga next month, its so weird that i've been drawing this book monthly for the last two years nearly, where does the time go?

Anywho, this year is the first time i'll be doing a bunch of conventions one after the other!
Excited for all the flying and airplane food :)








First up, I'm a special guest at the 2nd CYPRUS COMIC CON on the 28th of August.
First time in Cyprus so i hope that this little adventure will be a nice break since i didnt have one this summer. I'll have mostly prints, originals and a hand full of comics with me plus i'll be doing sketch commissions at the con.  I wont have time to do any pre-show commissions, maybe just one or two.
So if you are interested please ask.








Next up is NEW YORK COMIC CON! from the 8th-11th of October, i'll be in the Artist Alley with my buddy Ilias Kyriazis, I'll have a full schedule for this con including store signing the week before the con with James Tynion IV for The Woods etc so i'll update this space again some time next month.
Again I wont have time for pre-show commissions maybe one or two but i will be doing sketch commissions at the show. If you have any questions please dont hesitate to ask.








3rd con! THOUGHT BUBBLE on the 14th-15th of November!!
Again i'll have a table with Ilias Kyriazis at the con and more info will be available near to the event.








plus i have one more con in December that will be announced soon but if you know me you've probably figured out where i'll be that time of the year :)

So i'll leave you for now and i'll get back to you all when i have more news!
Till then i'll leave you here with my version of the HMS FANTASTIC4 team.

THE WOODS Vol.2: THE SWARM out in May from BOOM! Studios




































So as you may have guessed, the 2nd volume of THE WOODS is out in MAY!!! I've been super stoked all day since i got my hands and teeth on a super duper advance copy that was shot over to me from the future in a Tardis!!! Yes, that happened. believe me, trust me.
So ask your Local Comic Shops to keep a copy for you and look out for it in this months PREVIEWS under BOOM! Studios.
THE WOODS VOL. 2 TP
Retail Price: $14.99
Author: James Tynion IV
Artist: Michael Dialynas
Cover Artist: Michael Dialynas
On October 16, 2013, 437 students, 52 teachers, and 24 additional staff from Bay Point Preparatory High School in suburban Milwaukee, WI vanished without a trace, finding themselves countless light years away in the middle of an ancient, primordial wilderness. One year prior, the school held its first rendition of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” on a night that would prove fateful to both the students and faculty, as their lives crossed paths in an almost premonitory way, seeding the various horrors to come. Created and written by James Tynion IV (Batman Eternal) and illustrated by Michael Dialynas (Amala’s Blade), “The Swarm” collects the critically acclaimed second arc (issues #5-8) of the best-selling series.
