it looks like it’s going to be a busy summer for little old moi. i just signed on to do the second volume of the DEGRASSI: EXTRA CREDIT graphic novel series. the books are slated to hit the shelves come the fall when the kids are back to school. each volume is black and white and clocks in at 120pages!

many moons ago i got hooked on the orginal degrassi tv series, so it’s a real treat to work on these new graphic novels and become a part of such a great canadian legacy.

below are some character sketches i did to familiarize myself with the actors.

since the actual ‘calavera studio’ website is now devoid of a blog this will be the place to find out what’s going on in my lil’ old life. from what conventions i will be attending to what’s on my drafting table.

to make things a little more organised on my part, i will be updating this blog on mondays and wednesdays. whether it be art or just verbal abuse. this leaves thursdays for butternutsquash and tuesdays for the upcoming transmission-x (tune in tomorrow for my first instalment there. it’s going to be a full week. fuck that, it’s going to be a busy year!

this is a fun job i just wrapped up for an insurance magazine this past week. i know, i know you’re wracking your brain thinking “luchadors?” … “insurance?” … i don’t ask questions. someone wants me to draw two mexican wrestlers facing off - i jump at the chance! i figured the general viewing public who enjoys my stuff won’t be picking up any insurance trade magazines, sooooo i thought it’s be okay to post these here….

i was doing some spring cleaning on the computer the other day and came across these sketches of batman and the new batgirl from a few years ago.

enjoy.
