From February 12th to February 21st, the Creative Artworx Design Group in Barbados will be hosting Paint Me Barbados - The Ultimate Artist Experience, where several international artists will be giving workshops and lecturing about their respective fields of expertise. It should be a great time for all who attend. I was asked to be a part of the event, and I’m pleased as punch! My presentation will be on February 13th from 3:00 to 6:00pm.
WORKSHOP DETAILS
I will give an overview of my art career and discuss creating animation and special effects for movies; designing characters for animated films and television projects; visualizing videogame projects; creating comics and graphic novels.
I will share my philosophy about creativity and give insight on how to be successful as an independent artist. The presentation will include several video clips and images showing my process and approach to various assignments ranging from mainstream Hollywood movies to personal fine arts.
As some of you may know, I have recently completed my second graphic novel, Cavemen in Space. I plan to self-publish and distribute through AdHouse Books this Spring, but I need your help!
Inspired by folks like Liz Baillie and Jamie Tanner, I have launched a fundraiser to raise the raise the money required to publish Cavemen in Space! And as a thank you for donating, I have several different rewards based on the level of donation!
Go to the donation page to see the details, but rewards for donating include original art, comics, and more! And if you can’t afford to donate, you can still support the cause by sharing this page with others on your blog, Facebook, Twitter, email, cave walls, etc!
Our good friend and head production guy at Random House, Erich Schoeneweiss, has pointed out that Suvudu.com is holding a Holiday Gift Sweepstakes and they are giving away a set of Flight books, as well as a treasure trove of other cool books. Check it out at this link…
Flight artists Corey Godbey, JP Ahonen, and Israel Sanchez have artwork in this year’s “Hey You Guys!” Charity Art Auction. The movie themed auction benefits “Donors Choose”, a charity that grants school supply requests for teachers around the country.
Along with the auction there will be a screening of the classic comedy “Ghostbusters” at the Rialto Theater in South Pasadena, come check it out this Saturday!
Hey folks, I will be a guest at the Bellingham Comicon (Washington State) on October 24th. To make the event extra special, I have printed fifteen copies (POD) of The Saga of Rex which compiles all the material that have been published in Flight so far. The book is 160 pages! First come, first served. And if you have copies of Flight you’d like me to sign, don’t hesitate to bring them along.
I would like to welcome you to Monster Isle! This is a new weekly webcomic by yours truly featuring the monstrous Gargantura (or “Gary” to his friends), Torgo, and Gil and their day-to-day life on the tropical island they inhabit.
A black & white version of Monster Isle originally appears in the weekly Athens, Georgia publication Jake. A week later, each strip will appear online and in full, glorious color. So, bookmark the site or subscribe to the RSS Feed so that you won’t miss these guys every week!

Hey folks, Michel Gagne here. My team and I are happy to release a new HD trailer of our upcoming game Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet. I know some of you have been waiting forever - and we still don’t have a release date, but hey, doing a game of that scale independently is no picnic! You can read more on the project at www.InsanelyTwistedShadowPlanet.com.
Flight 5 has been nominated for a Harvey Award! Congrats to all the artists who contributed to the project. Our good friends Becky Cloonan, Vasilis Lolos, Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon have a book nominated in the same category with Pixu. It’s a great book! I wish we didn’t have to compete!

Here’s a photo of the new Flight 6 banner for Comic-Con. We’ll be located at a new spot this year: Booth #2329, right in the middle of the bigger comics publishers. Little old us, hangin’ with the big boys, and all we have is a single book series! This should be interesting. I’ll also have plenty of copies of Amulet on hand, as well as previews for Amulet 2. I hope to see you there!
Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know about my recent project, Terrible Yellow Eyes .
Terrible Yellow Eyes is a collection of works inspired by the beloved classic, Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. Over the past few weeks and months I’ve been displaying a growing collection of works created by invited contributing artists and myself.
We share a love and admiration for Sendak’s work and the pieces we present are done as a tribute to his life and legacy.
Just spreading the word that I’ve started a little online store featuring specialty Grickle prints and original art. Making their internet debut is “The Children of the Night and their Dad” print set. Enjoy!
