Fan Expo Vancouver recap!

Just wanted to make a quick post to follow up the 1st ever Fan Expo in Vancouver. I had a great time meeting people and seeing old colleagues. A big thanks to all that stopped by to say hi, share their thoughts on the Ghostbusters comic and pick up a comic and or print. It's all greatly appreciated, and it's nice to know that people enjoy the comic as much as the team enjoys creating it. I don't do a lot of conventions, but I'd definitely like to go back to Vancouver's again next year. I didn't get to look around much, but I was sitting next to an amazingly talented artist by the name of Caanan Grall. I highly recommend you check out his site and his comic "Max Overacts." It's great writing, great art and a lot of heart. Here's some photos from the show...and for the first time ever, I get to try on an unlicensed nuclear accelerator! Enjoy!

 Paula and I, ready to bust some ghouls!

 Possibly the best costumes I've seen at a con. That guy in the middle is about to get Bebop'd and Rocksteady'd!

Hey everyone!

I'll be at the first ever Fan Expo Vancouver this weekend signing comics and perhaps doing a doodle or two. Swing by and say hi! I'll be at table P20 :)

Cheers!

Just a quick and cool update while I'm penciling issue 7 of the Ghostbusters Ongoing. My lovely girlfriend took this photo...recognize anyone familar?

Hey everyone! It has been a remarkably time busy since starting the Ghostbusters Ongoing comic. The entire team is really putting 110% into the books, and we hope you are diggin what we are layin down. I rarely ever post pencils, and thought this would be a perfect opportunity to do so. Don't forget, issue #5 is out on the 18th of January! It's a new story arc that is chock full of clowns, bats and evil monkeys. How can you go wrong with that combo? Cheers!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to post quickly to say thanks to everyone who helped Ghostbusters Ongoing #1 sell out within the first day! Everyone on the team is very gracious and we all look forward to hearing your thoughts on Issue #2, out October 12th. If you missed out on the first printing of Ghostbusters #1, don't worry, there will be a second printing out very soon! Here's a sneak peek at Issue 3's cover that Luis and I did in the mean time. Now I have to get back to page 16 of Issue 4, there is something sugary on the loose!

Things are still hauntingly busy with the Ongoing Ghostbusters comic book. I'm almost finished pencils for issue #3, and I'm excited to jump onto issue #4 next week. Just a reminder, that you can still pre-order issue 2! Also, be sure to hit up you local comic shop or online dealer September 21st. Issue #1 hits the stands that Wednesday. If you are having trouble finding a shop in your area, check out this great thread co-artist Tristan Jones cooked up.

To sweeten the deal, here's a sample of the comic, 7 pages worth!

Love to hear what you think, so post some comments on what you like and don't like. Enjoy!

Things have been "supernormally" busy lately, as I'm now the lead pencil on the new ongoing monthly Ghostbusters comic for IDW! I'm very excited to be working with Erik, Tristan, Luis and Tom, and I know if you dig the boys in Gray, you will love the book! Be sure to place your pre order for the book with your local comic shop as soon as you can! Here are the first two covers I penciled for issues 1 and 2 respectively. Both colored by the great Luis Delgado! Cheers :)

My daughter, mom and I watched Rio today. We all really enjoyed the film, especially my daughter, who loves Macaws. I def recommend checking it out, a nice animated film from 20th Century Fox/Blue Sky, who also created Ice Age and Horton Hears a Who. Tracy Morgan really made some of the scenes shine. The music in the film was equally as cool. After, I was inspired to draw up a few Macaws myself with my daughter's crayola twistable crayons (which are a blast to draw with btw!). Hope you digs!

A sketch for this weeks Illustration Friday. The topic is "lesson", and what better creature to learn the lesson of change from, than that of a Dragonfly?

I wanted to share with you some sketch covers I did for the upcoming IDW's Ghostbusters Infestation #1! I'm super humbled to be apart of the project, and getting to sketch out GB characters is always exciting. In total I did 250 covers, and there are a few one offs of specific characters in there as well. Here's a sampling of some of the covers. If you pick one up, let me know where and which cover! Cheers

Ghostbusters Infestation#1 hits stands March 9th!

IDW's Infestation event continues here in this bi-weekly two-part Ghostbusters tale! Thanks to a plague of poltergeists that resist long-term storage in the containment grid, the Ghostbusters are dealing with a surplus of work... and their job is only going to get harder when Britt's zombies try to take a nibble out of the Big Apple! Written by Erik Burnham (The A-Team: War Stories) and illustrated by Kyle Hotz (Marvel Zombies).

Hey Folks!

Just wanted to drop down a quick update as it seems the last one was a few months back. I hope everyone had a positive and productive 2010. Let's make 2011 even better I say! This year, is the year of balance. Which ties in nicely with these two sneak peek pages for the Kung Fu Panda comic titled Kung Fu Panda: The Art of Balance, I did art for. The book is due out on April 11. I really enjoyed the Kung Fu Panda movie, and I find it is one of Dreamworks stronger efforts. My favorite is definitely How to Train your Dragon though. That creative team managed to create strong characters, matched with strong design and great storytelling. What is your favorite Dreamworks film, and why?

I hope you enjoy the samples, and I look forward to your thoughts on the book when it arrives on stands in April!

Cheers,

Dan

Just a quick heads up that IDW's Ghostbusters Haunted Holidays TPB is now on shelves! It contains all of the holiday one shots, PLUS an exclusive short 9 page Thanksgiving themed comic written by James Eatock (Cereal:Geek) with art by me. If you snag a copy, please leave a message here with your thoughts! Cheers
