hey all,

keeping this simple as it’s been a crazy week and i’ve had about 12hrs sleep throughout the past 7 days. so, yeah, i need to crash… which i will do momentarily.

i had hoped to have a character update for today but it looks like a no go. i’ll try for next week, and then begin the story again come the 11th of may. as next week i will be prepping for tcaf being held locally in toronto on may 8th and 9th at the reference library. it’s free admission, so if you’re around please swing on by!

i’d like to do a print for the show…. any suggestions? i was thinking something along the lines of picnic in the valley of the sleeping giants… or maybe something showcasing the landscape and crazy creatures of kukuburi… thoughts?

oh, and the above doodle was done for matt forcum, of robot beach, at C2E2 a couple weeks ago. he was kind enough to send me a scan…

there’s only one candy with the hole in the middle!

alright, i’m a tad delusional from lack of sleep. my apologies ;P

i’m home, returned from chicago’s c2e2, and working my proverbial butt off on dazzler and a handful of other things at the same time. i’d like to thank all who made it out to chicago’s first (and hopefully not the last!) comic’s convention and entertainment expo. i had a blast discovering the city and meeting all the great people that swung by my table – you know who you are! –  to make me feel at home. thank you – you made my experience exciting and memorable.

i’ve attached a couple of my favourite kukuburi related sketches that i did at the show. i did many more – but often forgot to take a photo.

i had originally planed to return kukuburi to it’s story updates next week, but things are looking grim as i am going to have to work through the weekend and into next week wrapping up my two current projects; dazzler and my regular monthly gig of max finder.

so look for thing to return to normal, or what passes for normal, on may 3rd.

this week’s update sees a little look into the bluebirds that seem to pepper kukuburi’s landscape and nadia’s dreams… if you haven’t check out the rest of the cast page, you should, you never know what you may learn…

till next week!

This week i’d like to share a few words about Nug.

This week blurred by as I raced to finish my Dazzler pencils, complete a couple other assignments, while all the while battling a cold, all in an effort to get to Chicago. The work is done, the cold has taken hold, and i’m in the windy city ready to pop some Tylenol Cold and Flu and have some fun! so if you are near the city and plan on attending C2E2 please stop by and say hello.

…oh, and word to the wise, a friendly little raccoon told me there’s a Abominable Charles Christopher Hardcover Collection ready to be purchased!

greetings all,

as i mentioned last week i had taken on a new contract from marvel comics. it short and sweet, 11 pages of a upcoming dazzler special. unfortunately the deadline on the book is rather tight and the 11 pages will require all my attention over the coming weeks combined with the fact that next week i am losing 5 days in attending the chicago comic con. which i am quite looking forward too. for more info on the con check this blog post and please swing by if you can.

i made a promise to myself this year to put quality before quantity. so in an effort to keep that promise i will not be updating kukuburi for the next three weeks with story pages as i focus on the dazzler book. i however will be updating every tuesday with a new cast profile – which i haven’t done in some time. as many readers have noted the cast page tends to give little insights into kukuburi which might not be found in the ongoing story. fleshing out the world and it’s denizens a little more.

so this week i give you leonard, nadia’s molluscan mentor, followed with nug next week and another fine fellow the week after. the story pages will then resume on april 27th.

apologies for the brief story break – i hope you all understand. i’ll see you all next week accompanied by our favourite nugget of love.

in a couple of weeks fellow tx’ers cameron stewart, scott hepburn, and myself, will be attending the chicago comics & entertainment expo. the expo (c2e2) is being held at mccormick place from the 16th to the 18th. we will be located in artist’s alley in row F tables 3 & 4 *. there will be sketching and a variety of swag – swing on by if you can!
