The Revolutionary Times - Scruffy Nerdherders

Today marks the special day in geekdom. Not only is it Free Comic Book Day but it's also the day we of the lightsaber brigade are accepted into society. Yep, it's Star Wars Appreciation Day folks. And even though the Mouse has taken things away from us, we still stay strong in the Force. We will not falter. Prevail, we shall (in our Yoda speak). So go out and celebrate, fellow Jedi!

"I'll Swallow Your Soul!"

The urge to do some Evil Dead related art has been bugging me for years now. With the remake recently released I figured it was due time to finally bust out the pencils and create my own rendition of the best character to ever wield a chainsaw/shotgun combination since...ever actually. 

"KOBK" Nominated For Four Glyph Comic Awards!

C.J. broke the news late Sunday night, but the nominees for the 2013 Glyph Comic Awards were just announced and our graphic novel "KOBK" received FOUR nominations, including Story Of The Year and Best Writer. The Glyph Comic Awards are all a part of the East Coast Black Age Of Comics Convention (ECBACC) that's held yearly in Philly and it lands on May 18th this year. Having been nominated with Brandon in 2011 for The Revolutionary Times, it's an honor to get a chance to be put up among some of the best creatives in the black comics industry.

I mean we're up against Ultimate Spider-Man for Pete's sake. That's crazy.

So yeah, we'll know all about the winners come May 18th. I would love to be in Philly for the awards and convention so we'll see. Either way, it's good times. Thanks to everyone who supported KOBK and gave us feedback. And if you haven't copped the book yet there's still a chance. Go and read it now. 

Black Jesus REDUX

So two Easters ago, an idea popped up in my head based on the idea of Jesus versus the Easter Bunny. That idea evolved into an actual story. That story evolved into a fake movie poster. Now two years later, that same idea still cooks in my head a bit changed but still the same. One day this story will be told. One day.

Red Book (Preview) x SpeedComics Vol 30

The Red Book is coming along slowly but surely. The women who've helped out with the modeling have been amazing and all thanks and appreciation goes to them. Without them it would be just a book full of black blank pages. So stay tuned for more updates on the book. And here is the latest SpeedComic for it as well.

SMACK! SpeedComics Vol. 29 (RED #1)

So with the latest batch of SpeedComics I'll be chronicling some of the behind the scenes work with some select future pieces I'm doing for my upcoming Red Book, instead of just flatly putting the pieces themselves up. Expect more Red Edition SpeedComics as I get closer and closer to finishing the book, which should hopefully be done before the end of year if not around summertime.

Album Design: Jahshua Smith - The Final Season

Last year, BLAT! Pack emcee Jahshua Smith put an end to his moniker JYoung The General to pave a new direction for his music. All those roads led to the release of his new album The Final Season. For the artwork, Jahsh wanted a look that related to television and broadcasting as the album's concept is that of a TV show gearing for its last season. This was the first of the artwork done to reflect that concept.

As the music started being produced and the direction kept becoming refined, the concept of the cover became more ilk to that of The Truman Show to become the final result that was produced. The album itself, entirely produced by BLAT! producer StewRat, shows Jahsh's growth as an artist and features assistance from Ro Spit, Mic Write, Joe Hertler Rafael, and BLAT! Family Red Pill, P.H.I.L.T.H.Y, Jae Musick, Chell and Yellokake. It's definitely an album that doesn't disappoint so please support the brother!

The Dirty Show 13.5 x "Downtown"

So after the very pixelated preview,  I've decided to present to you the Dirty Show submitted illustration in all its raunchy NSFW glory. Inspired by Wale's track "The Trip (Downtown)" off of his More About Nothing mixtape, I wanted to explore (again) the joys of the, uh, tongue targeted act from the woman's perspective. I figured it was a challenge that I severely lacked recently and when word of the Dirty Show coming up entered my inbox I saw it as the one chance to supercharge a recent art funk. The female responses that I've gotten have all been in favor, and really that was the target. Having someone look at the piece and immediately be caught in their own thoughts of previous experience or hopes for future ones. In the words of Barney Stinson, "Challenge Accepted"

Click the picture below for the full uncensored version of the piece. Please be warned that it is completely NSFW and contains sexual themes, nudity, and sexy forks.

The Dirty Show is being held at Bert's Warehouse in Detroit, MI this Friday!

The Red Series (#18-#20)

"Lips red as blood, hair black as night,"

"Bet it all on red."

Album Design: Red Pill x Hir-O - The Kick

The BLAT! Pack rapper/producer duo finally releases their highly anticipated and well crafted album The Kick. Featuring Red Pill's coined "blue collar raps" over Hir-O's "he put his foot in this" production, this already brought in 2013 great. I was tasked into creating the artwork for the album to give off that Inception-inspired feel. It's gonna be a great year for BLAT! and a great year for my artwork with the team. Stream the entire album below and buy your own physical copy of the album here.

BLAT!
