I know I haven’t been updating much
recently, but that’s because I’m hard at work! I am proud to announce
that I’m part of two awesome Kickstarter projects right now! They are
both very cool, and if you like comics, horror, or just art in general,
at least one of these projects is for you!

In
the Dark is a brand new horror anthology featuring some of the top and
up and coming talent in the comics industry today, and is a great chance
to get an anthology full of unique voices doing really cool horror
tales. In the vein of the old Tales of the Crypt, Creepy, and other
classic horror anthologies, you aren’t going to want to miss this!

The project is spearheaded by Rachael Deering, and she was great enough to pair me up with James Tynion IV,
a talented writer and all around nice guy who has given me one of most
terrifying monsters to draw. Our tale is going to blow you away!

Pledges
for In the Dark start as low as $10 for the full version in PDF, and
more for the hardcover. There are still some really cool donation reward
tiers open, so it’s WELL worth your time and money! Take a look at In the Dark here!

TipJar is a really cool project masterminded by my great friend Nicky Soh and organized by the rad Jen Hickman!
This project is a chance to get to support fresh talent, and get to
know new artists(and great people) in a very intimate way- Through their
sketchbooks.

Every artist knows that for every good drawing,
there’s countless sketches and process work that goes into it’s
creation. This is a chance to see some of each artists unique work
process, as well as a chance to see experimental work that wouldn’t
typically be shown portfolios, or even sketchblogs! Each artist has
selected the best of their sketchworks, and contributed at least 50
sketches to the project.

Donations for TipJar start at $1. The
more you “tip” the more art you’ll get. Even $1 will get you 300 awesome
images, and for as little as $10 you can get the full Megabook - 700
pages of awesomeness. There are also increased reward tiers as well, and
for $75 you can get the full package, 4 prints, and an original sketch
commission of your choice!

So it seems my good friend Jorge Corona lost his portfolio this past weekend at the Baltimore Comic-Con Convention center.

Most
likely it was missed amongst the craziness packing up at the end of the
show. We were all sitting together and there were probably 6-10 similar
looking portfolios all sitting near each other and somehow it was
missed during the hubbub.

Almost all of his best work including
the pages for his first professional work is in there, and it is really
heartbreaking for him.

This is a request to please keep an eye
out for it. Unfortunately it only has his name on the interior and no
contact information, so if you have seen it or have any information
about it, please contact either -

Morgan Beem at - morganbeem (at) gmail (dot) com

or

Jorge Corona at - jorgecorona86 (at) gmail (dot) com

At their respective email addresses.

If
you are an art dealer or collector and see any of these pieces for
sale, consider them stolen, and please contact us and the authorities.
