Interests
Hello, people of Earth!  Some wacky goings on, for anyone who's interested:

I did Artist Alley at the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (C2E2) last weekend, where I sold the first issue of The Revival, and it got a great response!  Thanks to everybody who stopped by!  For anyone who doesn't know, the comic is available on Houndcomics.com [link], Amusedome.com [link]?, and you can preview it on Hound's site! [link]

And just this last week I was interviewed by Casey Ryan on his podcast, The Cutting Room Floor.  Give it a listen if you want a little more insight into The Revival's storyline, and how the project came to be.  I haven't listened to the recording yet, so hopefully I don't sound like a rambling dork.  But I probably do sound like a rambling dork. ;p Check out his site here: [link] and my interview here: [link]

Also, over at Stern Pinball, they've announced the next project: a pinball machine based on Metallica!  Check out the promo video here: [link] and if you look closely, you might even see some dot matrix display animation I did for the game.  Enjoy!

That's it for now!  I'm hard at work on issue 2, so I'll have more updates soon!  Big thanks again to everybody who's faving my art and watching me!

Over and out,
TOM

A real fan of your art. Hope you don't mind if I use some of your designs in my work.

Oh, wow! That is amazing work, sir! I'm so honored, and impressed! Your sculpture looks much better than my drawing! ^___^ Your work is great, man! I looks forward to seeing more.

Super Great! I'm glad you like it. As I said, I really dig your work and plan to make more pieces based off of your art.

Ha, ha--thanks so much! Glad you're digging it. ^___^ There are plenty more characters are references to show up in the future, so I'm sure you'll recognize a lot of it! :D

So I got a quick question regarding modern cartoons. Will we ever see what modern cartoons (Regular Show, My Little Pony, Adventure Time etc.) look like if they got a Revival type makeover? Personally I would love to see viking berserker Finn but thats just me lol.

Howdy! Sorry for the delay in replying--way behind on dA. :o But yeah, I think most of the characters (at least the ones appearing in The Revival) will be based on 80s toys, but actually, My Little Pony originated in the 80s, so they'll be making an appearance! As far as the others, you never know--they won't show up in The Revival, but I might do some fan art at some point. ^___^

Hey, I was going through your work and liked what I had seen. You interested in working as a Concept artist in my little non-profit industry or what? Sure could use someone willing to draw up a few concepts of the characters and some environment ideas. I can do digital just fine in all, but by hand? Hell no. So get back to me and let me know what's up. Your style of art is almost close to Keith Thompson.

Hey, man! Sorry for the delay in replying--busy times! ^___^ Anyway, thanks so much for your compliments! Glad you like my stuff. :D Unfortunately, I'm pretty much booked for a while, so I can't really take on any other jobs right now. Thanks for the offer, though! I'll keep it in mind in case things clear up in the future.
