first off thanks to everyone for coming out to the toronto paradise con this past weekend, it was great to meet you all!!

over the course of the weekend we, the boys of RAID studio as well as a few guest stars, did up an art jam on a large piece of illustration board. at the end of the show the piece was auctioned off to the highest bidder, the lucky man being kevin boyd, one of the blokes who runs the con!

we had so much fun doing the piece, i think we’re going to try and tackle on every con!

can anyone identify every character on the page? extra points if you can match the drawing with the artist! HINT…. there’s a rogue sketch in there by a mystery guest who does not appear in the photo.

good luck!

ps/ the big barda’s mine

last week i attended the san diego comic con. it amazes me how that show grows exponentially every year! i didn’t have a table, i simple wandered about and enjoyed the show, and spent quite a bit of time on the beach as well in an effort to give myself a bit of a holiday.

with my busy schedule of late i haven’t had a chance to doodle up much. so for now i thought i’d share the “tip-in” image from the hard cover edition of MACHINATIONS OF DOOM. the book is available through Palladium books, and pretty soon i plan to be carrying it on my website as well. as soon as i get that darned store set up!

well it seems 2008 has arrived and i haven’t updated since october of 2007, sad, very sad.

well first off, HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all who might actually still be perusing this blog!

so, what have i been up to? well, it’s been a busy year since the end of last summer’s convention season. first there is the weekly webcomic i do with rob coughler; BUTTERNUTSQUASH, which is thankfully on hiatus wit hsome great guest strips by some of the industries sooper talents! please check it out if you can!

i also launched KUKUBURI my solitary venture into webcomics. we’re just about to hit the halfway mark in the story, so if you haven’t done so yet please give it a read

aside from other corporate work (some pinup girls, a children’s storybook) which i’ll share once i can, i’ve also been working on a three issue story for DC’s JSA: CLASSIFIEDS starring WILDCAT! written by a man i’ve been itching to work with for ages (ever since i read HAWAIIAN DICK) the talented B. Clay Moore and coloured by Dave McCaig (of NEXTWAVE and THE OTHER SIDE fame) this comic has been a joy to work on!

the first issue of the arc will be hitting stores on FEBRUARY 27th, so please contact your local comic’s retailer and get them to order you a copy of JSA: CLASSIFIED #35 and make DC happy and myself look good

below is a sneak peek from issue one.

thanks for the support!

cheers,

ramon.

long title, but it gets the point across;

here are a couple of doodles that i did over the weekend, of which the recipients were kind enough to send me an image back.

the first (which was i think my first doodle of the show) is of luna moth (uhm – i think, a character from the escapist) and the other is of stargirl… uhm i think again, i’m terrible at this.

cheers!
