I still have people that ask if they can find Undertown somewhere, and at this time it's still unavailable in the US and Volume 2 is still unpublished unfortunately.
I just found out that Undertown is still available... but only if you can read Japanese!

You can find it here:

Still unavailable in english (but copies CAN still be found on Ebay or Amazon!)

Thanks so much to everyone who helped me on the Fraggle Contest! I won a 'Runner up' position which isn't bad at all and I'm most definitely happy with the outcome.



You can also buy a ton of merch with that design on it from Cafe-Press and Henson: BY FOLLOWING THIS LINK HERE

Thanks again guys and gals, I won't be getting to attend the fraggle party but at least it was fun participating!

Hello! If you could spend just a sec and give me a vote for the Fraggle Rock contest that would really  help me out! I just want to at least get in the pool of artwork that will be looked at by Jim Henson Studios!

So Please follow this link and give me a vote!

You are really a lifesaver!! Thank you!

....Story coming 2013

Yep! I'll be there! This weekend!

So things are slowly progressing with the comic HELIX,  but a certain side story is progressing which can be found on my helix-themed tumblr page . The story will be referenced in the comic, but I thought it would be pretty cool to introduce helix in through a different mode of storytelling.

In the comic helix, the first to notice something strange taking place in the town of Mosscreek is a little girl named Amy, but this side story, shows the art-journal of another character who noticed something odd about the town earlier.

San Diego Comic Con is well underway! There's such an insane amount of things to do, panels to attend, people to meet, swag to get, things to buy and hours to not sleep!
But if you aren't too tuckered out by all of that, AND you were able to get in of course, then come and get a signature from me at the Archaia booth 2635, Saturday 930 - 11 / Sunday 930 - 1030 !!!!

I'll be signing Fraggle Rock books, and also anything else that you'd like me to sign!

Yeah just for fun (and jobs) I put together a portfolio for all the colorwork that I've been doing! Coloring Comics is really fun when the comic that you're doing it for is drawn well and something that you're interested in. So I hope to continue to get interesting coloring assignments!

Please take a look!

Okay now I'm probably on too many sites! Too many to manage. All I want is to be simple, but every site seems to have a little something that I like, so instead I just end up signing up for all of them.

Anyway I created a page on Tumblr so that I can catalog the work that I'm doing in the creation of my own comic HELIX DIVIDE (may not be the final name). But anyway, if you like fighting kids with aliens and multidimensional theory then take a look! (or if you like comics and seeing someone create one you can check it out for that reason too)!  

So PLEASE TAKE A LOOK!

This is copied from my writer for Undertown, Jim Pascoe's blog @ www.jimpascoe.com

Praise for Undertown

"I've always liked stories about secret worlds -- places of magic and danger -- right under our noses. Undertown is such a world, and its savory stew of great characters, fever-dream storytelling filled with twists and betrayals and revelations and new mythology -- illustrated in panel after panel of detailed, gorgeous artwork -- makes it a winner. So make way for writer Jim Pascoe and illustrator Jake Myler; their tale of a boy's quest to save his father's life, in a world where giant insects battle furmen and where teddy bears come alive, is a dark, fun, bittersweet display of incredible imagination."
--Henry Selick, screenwriter/director of Coraline and director of A Nightmare Before Christmas

"Undertown manages the remarkable feat of being utterly original in both concept and execution, while still evoking the feeling of a time-honored tale that's been around for ages. It's comfortable and thrilling in equal measures -- but then, the best stories always are."
--James A. Owen, Creator of Starchild and the bestselling novel Here, There Be Dragons

"The Undertown graphic novels are a brilliant idea, wonderfully executed, mixing a classic children's quest with cool characters. My kids love the mixture of graphics, words and action action action."
--Denise Hamilton, nationally bestselling author and editor of Los Angeles Noir

"A post-punk adventure through the looking glass, Undertown, is action-packed and heartwarming, scary and surreal; featuring a soulful hero and a teddy bear with attitude."
--Mark Haskell Smith, author of Moist and Salty

I don't mean to complain too much, but reading all these kind words, and then knowing that Undertown Volume 2 isn't out, more then a year after it's been finished, and there may never be a volume 3, kind of makes me angry.

*****************************************************

Towards the end of last year and the beginning of this year, I've been suddenly doing a ton of work for Boom! Studios and Archaia Comics. It's actually some of the most exciting stuff I've done in my life because it's for things that I grew up with, like for example the Fraggle Rock Comic with Archaia. A story about it just went up on MTV splashpage.



I'll be doing the Free Comic Book Day Mousegaurd/Fraggle Flipbook issue that'll be out May 1st- and I'll be signing at Zanadu Comics (the downtown branch) in Seattle if you're in the area.

Also, I'll be doing the 2nd Issue story for Fraggle Rock, so there'll be a more hefty serving of Fraggle in my near future.

With Boom Studios, I've been working on a ton of covers for them for Monster's inc, Disney's Ultraheroes, Finding Nemo, Mickey and Friends, along with a few secret projects that might blow the minds of anyone who is a fan of cartoons in the 90's! (stay tuned).  
So even though I seem to be on kid's projects only, I'm not complaining, because they're properties that I loved as a kid.

I got a bunch of copies of the Monsters Inc Issue #1 with the cover I drew!! Take a look at it's immense beauty! ^__^.
Earlier I didn't think that they were being published because I couldn't find any copies in stores or even on the internet. But later I found out that they were in fact published, but not many places will ever get them because they are limited to only stores that order 10 or more of the first issue of Monster Inc.



I made another cover for Boom, but it'll be on a upcoming issue, and I don't know the issue # as of yet.
Altogether doing covers is just about the most fun thing that I think I've done in comics and I hope to continue making them.
