For the 2010 Chicagoland Entertainment Collectibles Expo this year I was asked to draw some cards for the Treasure Chest of Art charity project, benefitting the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation. Among the other artists are Mark Texeira, Jeff (D&D) Easley, Norm (Batman)Breyfogle, Dan (Nocturnals) Brereton, Evan Dorkin, Arthur (Heavy Metal) Suydam, and Adam (Wonder Woman) Hughes, among many others. This is the first time the World Wildlife Federation of Justice characters will appear in the same project as the Star Wars universe. Here are my submissions – it’s a veritable Who’s Who of the WWFJ universe!

For the 20 Minutes of Oxygen video set
I took this from Star Wars Empire Strikes Back
And this from Battlestar Galactica
And I’m working on this for the 20 Minutes of Oxygen rock video shoot (click to make big):
I can print this out in full colour on six letter size transparencies (total print area would probably be about 25 x 22″) and adhere them to clear plexiglass.
I think CIC stands for Command Information Control

Exploded View launch at Ayden Gallery
For the Spaceship Zero lovers among you, I plan on having some original art hanging at this art show to promote the book that the SSZ comic story will be in. See below for details, and CLICK HERE for more information on the comic itself:
PRESS RELEASE
Exploded View Saturday March 6 | Launch Party at Ayden Gallery | 7pm
Vancouver, Feb, 16, 2010
For immediate transmission – Cloudscape Comics is pleased to announce the launch of their fourth publication, Exploded View. A science fiction anthology featuring twenty-five artists, all current or former residents of Vancouver, Canada. This book showcases the broad range of talent in the comics artist community. Notable contributors include Camilla d’Errico, who has been making waves with her manga influenced paintings in and outside of Vancouver, and is the artist for notable titles such as “Burn”, “Tanpopo”, and “Sky Pirates”; Children’s book Illustrator Scot Ritchie; Angela Melick, creator of the acclaimed “Wasted Talent” Webcomic; John Christmas, the artist on the recently released “Barack the Barbarian”; Jonathon Dalton, creator of “Lords of Death and Life” and “A Mad Tea-Party”; Edison Yan, whose work can be
seen on “Scribblenauts” on the Nintendo DS; Colin Upton, who has been pioneering mini- comics in Vancouver since 1985; Local Rocker, actor, and Illustrator Toren Atkinson; and Jordyn Bochon, a contributor to the independent comics anthology “You Ain’t No Dancer”. The group includes established artists, underground cartoonists, web comic creators, animators, illustrators, and manga artists all working together. Their focus is on telling meaningful, intelligent stories through the medium of comics.
This book represents the Cloudscape comics collective’s most ambitious project to date, with a huge roster of talented artists and their highest production quality. Motivated by a desire to see their work in print, Cloudscape is moving ahead without an established publisher or outside funding, raising the money it needs exclusively from the artists within the group.
Cloudscape will be launching their new book at the Ayden gallery in Tinseltown, Vancouver on March 6th at 7pm. Most of the artists will be in attendance to sign autographs. This will be your first opportunity to purchase this fantastic new book.
Contributors: Toren Atkinson, Jordyn Bochon, Aaron Bouthiller, Chloe Chan, John Christmas, Jonathon Dalton, Camilla d’Errico, Jeff Ellis, Lou Ford, Kevin Forbes, Megan Furesz, Jason Harris, Steve Lecouilliard, Christopher Leinonen, Wei Li, Colleen MacIssac, Angela Melick, Scott Ritchie, Scott Ritchings, Paul Soeiro, Curt Steckhan, Cat Tang, Colin Upton, Edison Yan, and Eric Zawadzki.

Spaceship Zero Comic Page 5
At long last here is page 5 of the Spaceship Zero comic, sans lettering. If everything goes as planned the full five pages, which is a prequel to the story as laid out in the SSZ roleplaying game and the album Spaceship Zero: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, will appear in Cloudscape Comics‘ newest anthology, “Exploded View” (cover by Camilla D’errico)
I’m having professional comic letterer Ed Brisson redo all of my unprofessional lettering from the first 4 pages.
