THE STUFF OF LEGEND
Mike Raicht, Brian Smith (Smitty!), Th3rd World Studios and I are hard at work wrapping up Volume IV of Stuff of Legend. We'll also have some cool stuff coming your way throughout 2013!

WRA1TH
Coming this summer is a horror series from IDW written by Joe Hill, drawn by me with some awesome covers by Gabriel Rodriguez and Nelson Daniel. For more info (along with my first sketches) visit Joe's tumblr here: [link]
and follow this link to see what Gabriel Rodriguez and Nelson Daniel have amazingly done for issue 1:

WILD BLUE YONDER
Just saw some new cover work from Zach Howard and Nelson Daniel over on Mike Raicht's facebook page and wanted to mention how cool that book seems to be shaping up, so if you're on facebook befriend Raicht on there to check out the updates.
You can also follow him on twitter (@MikeRaicht) for updates on that book as well as Stuff of Legend.
And me for that matter (@cpwilsoniii).

Thanks!!!
Will update journal again before too long with convention dates (although there will probably far fewer this year due to busyness and business

Dear Journal Readers,

A new issue of The Stuff of Legend comes out this Wednesday! Issue 2 of The Toy Collector. You may find it at your local comic shop, you can order the print issue on TFAW.com and I believe it will be up on Comixology shortly after.

If you're looking for the Marvel Now! Phantom Variants that have come out this past month visit www.phantomvariant.com to find out where you can get them.


SIGNINGS:

EMC2 - Sunday, December 2nd I will be signing in Newton, Massachusetts at the Eastern Mass Comic Con from 10-4PM. For more info go to emc2comiccon.com

For those of you who aren't aware of Wild Blue Yonder, it's one of the most promising experiences comics has to offer and it has the possibility of coming about with your help!
Written by Mike Raicht (co-creator/writer on The Stuff of Legend) and illustrated by Zach Howard (IDW's The Cape), Wild Blue Yonder is a creator-owned book that is sure to be something awesome to behold.

Aaand if anyone's looking for commissions please contact Bob at www.comicarthouse.com. I'm not currently taking any big commissions (full paintings, tonal renderings) but I am doing figures and such including the Pooh-styled characters (b&w, watercolor). There can be a little bit of a wait so it can be anywhere between now and maybe three months away.

Thanks!

NEWS!!!
Sorry I don't post as often as probably should, but I thought I'd give everyone the rundown of what I have going on this year:

March 14th (tomorrow) - The Stuff of Legend Volume III, A Jester's Tale, hits comic shops as well as Mouse Guard, The Black Axe #4 (you'll find a pin-up by me in there!). If you're unfamiliar with Mouse Guard (yeah, right!) the whole series has been consistently good from issue to issue and you should check it out! There are two volumes out and an anthology of short stories, all very, very good.

I'm also working on Splinter's issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Micro Series with Erik Burnham (Ghostbusters!). Paints, inks, washes and tonal pencils - the book's gonna have everything!

And please keep your eyes out for The Cape hardcover! It's one of my favorite comics to come out this past year and I was lucky enough to get a pin-up spot in the hardcover. Great story and art - Zach Howard, Jason Ciaramella and Joe Hill create an awesome experience with the book.


And here are my 2012 conventions and appearances (subject to change) I plan on doing this summer if you're interested!

This coming Saturday and Sunday, April 30-May 1, I'll be at the Boston Comic Con doing sketches, signing books and selling artwork.

Thanks and hope to see you there!

I'll be at the Pittsburgh Comicon (April 15th, 16th and 17th) with Comic Art House doing sketches, signing books, selling trades and prints. I won't have a lot of trades with me and they might go relatively quick. Also, Adam Walmsley (he did up sketches in the back for the bonus material) may also be on hand to sign these suckers, which is actually kind of rare, so if some of you are completionists, live in the area and already have trades with everyone else's signatures (probably not likely) it might be fun to get his chicken scratch on there too!
