average pay rates for comic book artists:
"Generally, the good graphic novels fetch $100 - $300 per page, although professionals who have been in the industry for a long time can command as much as three times that amount. In fact, one elite illustrator commanded as much as $1,000 a page (on a 22-page comic book)! Most of the popular titles that artists, like David Cassaday, work on are monthly issues, which end up providing him with a six-figure salary. The back-end royalties on merchandise, trade paperbacks and movie royalties are also generous."

My new sketchbook has been done for awhile but I forgot to post anything about it. Anyone interested in a copy, contact me. Because of a printing error, the 1st 25 copies come with a signed & numbered mini-print. Its a very cool package. $8 postage paid anywhere.
Heroic has announced my new gig. Golden Warrior, a six issue mini-series featuring the mother of popular, long-running character Flare. I'm very excited to be working on this. Learn more here: http://www.heroicpub.com/previews/fe12.php
I have another sketchbook no one on Deviant Art will be interested in, lol. Its even better than the one you didn't buy last year. If anyone is interested, let me know.
