Belligerent Monkey In The News

I was included in a small feature in today's print copy of the Atlanta Journal Constitution (6/05/2014). Unfortunately it's not on online so here is a scan of the piece.  Click on the picture to make it full size.

Big thanks to Jonathan with JTPhotography who set everything up and took the photo.

Dragon*Con 2012

Dragon*Con 2012 was a blast. Even though I'm still in recovery mode, I can't wait for next year (and have already booked the hotel room).  Here are some of the things I saw/learned this year.

George Perez is the nicest/awesomest/best comic book artist in the world.  He is always very nice and seems to genuinely have a blast at the convention wandering the hotels and taking photos with fans.  On top of that he's one of the all time greatest comic book artists out there and I'm lucky to have gotten some convention sketches from him. 

Georges Jeanty is pretty great too.  I picked up a couple of his Buffy prints last year.

There was a great representation of Atlanta artists including Third Half Studios, UrbnPop, Derek Yaniger, Red Rocket Farm, and HC Warner.  

I ended up with Derek's Dragon*Con 2012 print below (image stolen from Needless Things' Dragon*Con writeup which is similar to this one only much better written). 

Zombie Photographs

I took my zombie designs and added them to some real world photographs.  These are photos I've taken of a partially built school, a burned down house, a junk yard, and of a couple classic Atlanta landmarks.  I have some of these printed as photographs and framed.  They made their debut at the Days of the Dead convention earlier this year but I never posted them online.  Check them out...

Positano, Italy

A month or so back I took a vacation of a life time.  I was lucky enough to spend a couple of weeks in Italy and France for vacation.  The reason sparking the trip was that 2 old/great friends were getting married in Positano, Italy.  I did a couple of sketches for their wedding invitations and RSVPs which were Positano themed.   Here they are with the names redacted.

Day of the Dead

Here are a couple of photos my wife took of our friend (1/2 of 3rd Half Studios) last year at the Little 5 Points Halloween Festival.  I think they turned out great.  I had a blast last year (the 1st with an artist market), and look forward to this year.
