I NEVER HEARD SO MUSICAL A DISCORD, SUCH SWEET THUNDER.
I HAVE HAD A DREAM, PAST THE WIT OF MAN TO SAY WHAT
DREAM IT WAS.
Introducing my new magazine: JETTY!
Hi everybody! Today is a very special day, in that it marks the one year anniversary of this very sketch-blog! Yes, exactly one year ago I went public with this website and began posting my art every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! I really hope you’ve been enjoying my humble sketches and I hope to bring you many more art projects for many years to come :)
Okay! In order to celebrate this momentous occasion (and also because it’s my birthday), I’m introducing the first issue of my brand new magazine: JETTY!
I know I gave a sneak-peek at this a couple months ago, but now it’s all ready to be released and I’m very excited!
About the project: I’m intending JETTY to be somewhat of an arts and literary magazine with a major focus on sequential art and abstract comics. Right now it’s just me, but I hope to include other contributers for art, articles, interviews, and much more!
JETTY #1 contains five sequential art (comics) pieces done in much the same style as the art you’ve come to know here, only AMPED UP (I am very excited about this)! Here’s some preview shots: 
Right now JETTY is only available here at LIGHTRIOT.COM, but I hope to have a digital version up and running soon so you can check it out on your iPad, Kindle, etc. You can click below to order a copy, or check out the store!

Special Update!
Hi all, I have two items of interest to let you know about.
First: Beginning this Monday in Manchester, NH, I’ll be helping out with a week-long comics summer-camp led by the wonderful Marek Bennett. Marek leads a program called Comics Workshop (http://comicsworkshop.wordpress.com/about-2/), and he’s being kind enough to take me under his wing and show me the ropes of teaching comics. I’m very grateful to him for this opportunity, and I plan on making a special mini-comic to commemorate the event. You can check out all of Marek’s art-related actions at his website http://www.marekbennett.com/ .
Second: I am now making my BRAND NEW comic-book, LIGHT RIOT: DEPARTURE available for pre-order. I am very excited about this and can’t wait to start mailing out copies on Sept. 28th. I’m offering a special incentive to pre-order now, so here’s the details right out of the STORE section of this website.
Note: I WILL be tabling at MICE (http://www.masscomics.com/) this year, so if you’re going to be in the area, bring your pre-order receipt and I will hand you your comic/tumbnail-sheet EARLY! This is a special incentive to come out to the Expo. Tell your friends!
