Mega Man 20 Cover

Hey guys! Here's the raw artwork to Mega Man #20's cover, coming from Archie Comics in November. Drawn by Mike Norton!

Sonic the Hedgehog 243 Cover

Hey guys! Since the official solicits for November issues just came out, I suppose it's all right to share with you the raw artwork for some of these amazing covers I got to color! Here is the raw art for Sonic the Hedgehog #243, from Archie Comics. Pencils and inks were done by Tracy Yardley!

Sonic Super Special Magazine #5 Cover

Hey guys! Here's the raw artwork to Sonic Super Special Magazine #5's cover, from Archie Comics! I believe this ish will also feature s'more of my pencils on the Timeline pages. Be sure to check it out when it drops!

(Pencils by Tracy Yardley, inks by Terry Austin)

EDIT:  Hey guys, so I totally made a mistake and read the solicit for the new Sonic Digest wrong. The Super Special Magazine is not ending! So sorry for the mix-up.

Sonic Super Special Magazine #4

Hey guys! Just wanted to share a preview of Sonic Super Special Magazine #4, from Archie Comics. On sale now! This book features the first part of my contribution to the "Sonic Timeline," a graphic re-telling of world events in the Sonic universe. My portion covers events immediately before the start of the books and then... Well, close to the first 75 issues or so!

These pages were actually my very last penciling assignment before I went full-time colorist, drawn wa-a-a-ay back in late 2009/early 2010. It's kinda' surreal to see them finally published after all these years! I'll definitely try and uncover the original Jpegs of the pencils themselves from my e-Mails sometime. 

Sonic the Hedgehog #242 Cover

Hey guys! So I believe they are still putting together the official announcements on this thing, but this cover has been out there since last month's solicits so I thought I would go ahead and share the raw artwork for it! Pencils and inks by Tracy Yardley!

If you've checked out the solicit, you might notice a few changes happened in post - the cover was flipped horizontal, Sonic's smirk changed and Amy even has an all new wardrobe! But here's the original artwork. Super fun cover to work on - lots of bright, saturated colors!
