TWART (Twitter + Art)
Over the last year I’ve made a lot of great friends and a LOT of really good illustration and comic connections via Twitter. Recently a group of 15 or so of these great comics professionals and I started picking characters for us to sketch on the same days. Thor Thursdays etc. Well a couple days ago, Chris Samnee (DC’s The Mighty, Marvel’s SIEGE: Embedded, etc.) took the bull by the horns and we’ve now officially amassed and started a weekly blog based off this concept!
The idea is that each week we’d rotate and pick a new character. Then you have five days to post your illustration to the blog. We unofficially started with RONIN (Clint Barton, Marvel) but now officially we’ve started the blog with Mitch Breitweiser’s (Captain America, The Futurists, Marvel sequential artist) pick of Zorro!
Since we started posting last week we’ve gotten a lot of great internet press ( http://ow.ly/YjRW ) and I couldn’t be more excited to be lumped in with this great group of artists. I’ve had an amazing last couple weeks, both in my career and personal life (I mean HELLO, we reached our goal and became Project of the Day on Kickstarter!). To be included with these guys is just unreal.
So I urge you all to keep checking out our work over at the Comic TWART blog…

As for the humongous news about reaching our goal and the future of JOHNNY RECON on Kickstarter, I just finished editing a Thank You video we put together last night and I’ll post that first thing in the morning. Thank you all!
