I'm Back

I'm back with a new years resolution to keep up on my blogging so we will see how long it takes for me to break it again. I've worked on quite a few new images and it will take too long to post them all so just check out my deviantart page if you want to catch up on things. New pictures are in the works and will be posted soon, I'm trying out some new techniques and we will see if they will be beneficial to my work. Happy New year everyone!

Laryngitis, Art and More!

Who has 2 thumbs, a mean case of laryngitis and 2 days left of voting for his Phoenix Comicon Badge Art Contest? This GUY! So yell at your friends to vote for me since I can't [link]

As for my work I'm still working on the pencils for Buddha Monkey Issue 2 and they are coming along nicely. Sonic Youth 5 is just about ready so any social life and sleep will soon be gone when I'm working on both. I also have about 15 new sketch cards that are sketched in and waiting for color, I just haven't had the time to finish them up yet. I'm hoping by May 26th (PHX Comicon) I'll have about 20 new sketch cards, prints of my badge art and my Hawkeye drawing and issue 5 of Sonic Youth complete. Also, if any one wants a commission done by or at PHXCC just send me a shout and I'll get working on that too.

Last but least for all my metal heads out there, Between the Buried and Me just released their new EP Parallax: the Hypersleep Dialogues. So just go buy it because once again, they will melt your mind with their songs!

On a separate note, Buddha Monkey is moving along well and I've heard the Sonic Youth number 5 script is done so I'm going to be busy for some time to come!

I'm a SUPER STAR!!!

Yeah right... but my name and pretty face is now available to view on the Phoenix Comicon Website in Comic Artist section. Actually, heres my section from the link!

MATT GOODALL

[Comics]

Being a brand new home owner and father to a newborn wasn't enough to Matt, so he decided to complicate things further by signing up to create and draw his own comic book about parenthood. Sonic Youth is about parents who find out their child's annoying screams aren't just annoying, they can be destructive. His Deviantart page is http://mattgoodall.deviantart.com. Matt will be signing at the SpazDog Press table (www.spazdogpress.com) at the Phoenix Comicon.

Heres the page for all the other artists that will be joining in on the fun Memorial Day weekend-

New Art and into the future...

Here are a few of the projects I have been working on recently. The Phoenix Comicon badge art contest is coming up so I have been working on my submissions. Here is my Supergirl painting, Hulk ruining a another pair of clothes to his dismay, and Giant Girl unsuccessfully attracting men her own height... I'm still working on Buddha Monkey, I have 5 pages down and 19 to go... hopefully I'll get another started today.

Jesse James, New stuff, BTBAM!

The Jesse James Event went well this past weekend, met some new artists and fans which is always fun. Here are some of the images from the event, there are several of me floating out there on Libby Rich's site and Facebook, these are just of my friends and the art i contributed that day. Buddha Monkey, my new project, has been going well and I'm really excited to see the work once finished by the inker and colorist. I still have quite a few pages to go but the 4 I've finished so far are some of my best work ever. More to come on that project as I can post and talk about it.

On a side note, Between the Buried and Me just released a portion of their new song and I have to say, the 6 minutes posted is some of the most amazing music I've ever listened to. If you don't listen to them and you like heavier music buy their albums, you are missing out on a completely visceral experience!

Jesse James Comics Event

I'll be joining the crew and many of the other great artistic talent in phoenix tomorrow at jesse James Comics. If your in area swing on by! Other wise, I'll be posting photos soon.
