So what is up DeviantArt? It's been more than a year since I visited this site last. A lot has happened in terms of life and career. Been through some rough times in the past year struggling to make things work. I don't know if you all remember but we had planned to move to North Carolina, and were having troubles with landlords in Michigan. So now we find ourselves in the Central Coast of California, residing in Santa Maria California. Much has changed in terms of life more than a move across the country. Four months ago my son Dakotah was born. Still adjusting to that schedule while trying to work and bring in a lot more illustration jobs. I have been mainly pulling in income from illustrating Artist Sketch Cards for Topps, and Upperdeck and a few other card publishers like Sadlittles.com and 5Finity.
Getting back into the groove of things and finding my center again. Everyday with the family and my art also renewing my faith as a Christian. Things are looking up and the world is opening up for a lot more opportunities. Which brings me to Crisishour Productions.
Crisishour Productions is about to be in full swing. We have a few artists in our staff, and a few honorary members. People that will be doing work for us from time to time on a work for hire basis, or some friends that owe me a solid.

(You know who you are.)
So look for a few concept pieces to be floating around here and there, as well as some fan benefits in the future. Lots of fun art projects coming up as well, and maybe even a contest or two. Soon enough I'll plague the journal with writings of upcoming comics, properties, art books, and other neat collectibles.
I will be in touch as much as I can with a busy schedule and a family at home. But please if you have any questions send me a note, and I'll try to address anything that comes my way.
