So I've had something in the works for a couple weeks now, but all the details and legalities were finally worked out this week, and I can share what that something was finally.  I've taken a position with Big City Comics, a relatively new comic book publishing company, as Vice President of Creative Development. 

Our first books are scheduled to launch in September or October of this year.  On the slate so far, Mario Gully's creation Ant, will be moving under the Big City Comics banner (look for an official announcement from us at Wizard World Philly next week)  additionally we will be launching a fantasy comic called Dragon Cross, a VERY cool twist on the vampire mythos in a book called Tempest, and a cool supernatural thriller type of comic called Totem (also co-created and penciled by Mario Gully) We're working to finalize and iron out wrinkles in a deal to bring another book onboard right now, more on that as things develop.

In addition to my duties as VP of Creative Development for Big City, I will also be coloring the Dragon Cross and Tempest books coming out.  So things are shaping up to be busier than ever here in the studio, but as I work through this lack of creative energy (and finish up our patio out back) my excitement is building, which bodes well I think.  I'm getting excited about Philly next week a little, we should have all 4 issues of Hero By Night at the show (at least I hope) as well as the first issue of KISS 4K which just came out this past week (colors came out great in that book I think, all things considered)  Also, with Hero By Night becoming on ongoing series later this year, my slate is pretty much full for the next year or so it appears. 

Need to get some things organized, and a couple things colored today despite the painful sunburn on my arms today.  I should know better of course, but even when it's only 70 degrees out and relatively cool, you STILL should have sunscreen on if you're outside all day.  Time to turn the air on almost, as the sun beating in through the window is really heating up the office, and it's going to be a scorcher here today!
