Here’s some in-progress shots of me working on the cover to Vinny #1. Thus far it’s done in all watercolor on bristol with small amounts of graphite.

And yes, I’m left-handed.

That’s right… it’s happened. I started a Twitter account to help keep my blog and website updated, fresh, and interactive. I had originally sworn to never have a Twitter account, but… well… I did it anyway.

Please feel free to follow me! I’ll be Tweeting website updates, random art-related thoughts, and other creative and artistic activities that I’m currently up to. Check it out! JoieArt on Twitter.com

As for Vinny news– I’m working on the logo as we speak, and once that’s done I’ll be finishing up the front cover! The lettering is almost complete (it’s about a week behind schedule due to technical difficulties), but then it’s off to the printing press!

It’s official– Vinny is being self-published by Arguing Idiots and will be available to purchase very soon. There is a website dedicated to our favorite vampire in the works, and of course I’ll have more information as I get it!

It’s certainly been awhile since I’ve updated, but I want to let everyone know that I’m not dead. I’ve been dealing with a lot of things, but mostly I’ve been recovering from a rather severe injury and haven’t had time to do a lot of art (much less update my blog). For those curious: I will be fine, I just need some physical therapy and healing time.

Vinny #1 did not quite make it to HeroesCon with the writers, but it is just days away from being sent to the printer– I’m so excited! More info tomorrow. Just thought it might be good to warm the old blog back up with a short post about where I’ve been hiding.
