I don't know why it's taken me so long, but I wanted to come on here and tell all five of you who visit this blog that I will *NOT* be attending this year's Wizard World: Chicago. The reason being is that SDCC really killed my schedule and now deadlines are bearing down on me like a two ton elephant. So yeah - sorry folks, no Chicago for me. And again, my apologies for not coming on here and saying so earlier than I am right now.
On another note, Ivan Brandon's new TPB/Anthology "24/7 Vol.2" premiered at San Diego Comic Con this year, and then the launch party rolled into L.A.'s Meltdown Comics a week thereafter. I had a story in the first collection (thanks to Ivan's invitation and his crisp writing style - he wrote the story I did. Natch), but I am *so* genuinely jealous because of the set of creators that have participated in this latest incarnation. My suggestion is that you go check it out (better yet - BUY IT!), go to the Image Comics Message Board and tell Ivan what a genius/monster he is for gathering such a talented bunch of forward-thinking creators to work on the book. I don't know how he pulled it off (he wouldn't tell me when I was grilling him about it), but here's hoping he does a Vol. 3 so that I can make up for the mess I turned in the first time 'round. Haha! Just kidding, Ivan.
Okay, I don't have much by way of commentary about the image above. It's an Aztec/Mayan guy bashing a guy's jaw off. Don't talk to me about reference or accuracy either - I don't know what that is. You want accurate?! YOU effin' draw it!
Ah... nothing says 'professional' like bringing an overly defensive argument down to a 4th grade level. Have a great week, everyone.

Your style never ceases to amaze, Eric. Eagerly anticipating 'Enter The Mandarin."
I thought I was number 2 after Jon Tsuei but I guess these cats think they can come and take my spot!
Anyway, bummer you wont be in Chicago. First, Sanford Greene, now you. At least I can kick it with Keron Grant again this year.
Another fantastic one, Eric. That has Frazetta-like energy to it. I love the composition.
