Long Bio for June 2011

I write things, like this comic here and pieces like Placebo which was hosted here and posted weekly for free. A zine version is coming soon.

I’ve become more widely known for my painted creatures which you can buy on my etsy site. I also take commisions on paintings.

I do a little webcomic called Peas which I have put out every friday for over three years now.

My latest project is with artist Jessica White. It’s a webcomic called Daytime Ghost Hunter. I’m very proud of it so far.

In July 2007 I founded con-news.com, which has grown into the leading daily convention news site in the world. It averages over 10,000 unique readers of whom visit 100,00 times per month. I naturally also attend a lot of conventions, sometimes as an artist, sometimes as a fan. You can see my upcoming appearances here.

I’m under the name luckycreature on Twitter, Facebook, Formspring, Xbox Live, and PSN. Please join me on your social platform of choice.

I love college football, media scifi, and pop culture. I collect Minimates. I don’t like the word bored.

I live in Asheville, NC with my beautiful wife Jessica White and two cats.

Before all this I have put out records, posters, and other items by other artists. You can see the list of those and anything I contribute to here .

I plan on continuing all of this for a long time, hope you’ll join me.

My email is luckycreaturelabel@gmail.com
I’m open to all invites, collaborations, commissions, and really anything that involves you and me.

Creature Bottles


No 2 and 3 in my creature bottle collection now up on Etsy One features Cobra Commander and soldier. The other features Blockhead, who I only have done before in my large painting, and Balloon Head guy who was one of my original Creatures.

Also this morning put a lot of video games and dvds on Ebay if your looking for something new to play.

Placebo Part 32: Final.

It’s been months since I had any news on Sparrow. The television says she’s most likely dead. Something tells me she’s o.k. but I have no clue what to think. Daisy has been staying with me, getting clean, and occasionally we have rekindled our life together.
One night she takes a breath to tell me I’m her medicine, that I’m helping her on her recovery.
At best I’m a placebo, holding her hand.
She’s doing all the hard work. Sometimes when I look into her eyes, I see my wife there.
It feels good.

The end. (Thanks for taking the journey with me on this experiment. 32 weeks we went on this story called Placebo. I’m going to collect this in a small zine print version. If you enjoyed the story, I’d love for you to get a copy. I’ll have news on it soon.)

Heroescon

Had a great time at Heroescon yesterday. To me this is the Comic Book Convention. There are no B celebrities like at Wizard World. No Wrestlers of any kind. It’s about the comics. And the wealth of talent on the show floor makes it the place for comic fans of all tastes. You can go to this show with less than an hundrend bucks and come home with some amazing artwork. Or you could save your money throughout the year and come home with a gallery. The point is, if you like comics and comics arts, this is the show for you. About half the room is dealers so if your fandom is the digging through bins passion then there is more than enough of that for you here as well.

One of the highlights for me was seeing James Silvani and buying that awesome Darkwing Duck ‘Terror’ print from him. It’s already on my wall. Other purchases included comics from many of the indie artists, a five dollar Doctor Who trade, Y the last Man deluxe #4 and a Coyote Ragtime Show Box set.

On a personal note we have made many friends as we do many of the smaller shows across the area, and it really becomes one of the nice things about this convention. Catching up with old friends.
This is Mike Sudduth, who is really talented and just one of the many friends we saw at the show yesterday.

Heroescon rocks. If you live on the east coast, or can afford the plane ticket, make the trip next year. The dates are June 22nd-24th, 2012. Oh and look for us in Artist Alley. If we can get a table, we will be there.
