In twenty four hours I'll be on my way to Comic-Con International in San Diego, California and I hope to see some of you there! You can find me at table FF-01 in Artist Alley along with Dan Parsons (inker on SW: Republic and SW: Legacy for Dark Horse Comics) at table FF-02 so be sure to stop by and say hi. Star Wars sketch card artist and Order 66 survivor himself, Justin "Kai Justiss" Chung (competent at wielding both a pencil and a lightsaber but not at the same time), will be sitting in with me too. I'll also be premiering my new convention sketchbook at this show as well so come on by and see what Star Wars art we have in store.

For more info check out my latest sw.com blog entry, San Diego Comic-Con, Zombie Prom Update, ArtZine, and New SW and XBox Art, and to find out what Lucasfilm has planned for the event check out this sw.com update, The Insider's Guide to Comic-Con International 2006.

Speaking of "twenty four" I wanted to let all of the Jack Bauer fans out there know that I'll be providing the cover art for IDW Publishing's new 24: Nightfall six issue series. This will be a prequel (hmmm... where have we heard that term before? Temple of Doom anyone? ) storyline to the hit Fox TV show and will debut in comic book shops later this year. The first issue will also feature just my pencil art as a variant, incentive cover for retailers. Keep your eyes peeled on my official site and on my myspace.com page for more news and for a sneak peek at this new artwork soon!

And remember, Zombie Prom (a short film with artwork provided by Justin, Jan Duursema and yours truly will be playing Thursday, July 20th at 7:30 PM at Comic-Con as part of the Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival. It's a musical with zombies... and RuPaul. How could you afford to miss that?

And probably like Jack or an undead, I won't be getting any sleep between now and Wednesday.

I'll see you soon, travel safe!
