Daredevil #506 Next Wednesday

Friday, April 9, 2010


Daredevil #506 Cover (with trade dress). 2009. Acrylic and
gouache on bristol board, 11 x 17".



Good morning (or late afternoon). I had a deadline at noon today, so I had to pull an all-nighter to make sure I hit it. This, I'm afraid to say, is going to become more common in the next couple months. In order to make sure I can do all the work required of me (inking and coloring 4 books by July, plus two painted covers), I'm going to have to step back on the blogging. I plan to continue Wacky Reference Wednesdays, since they're relatively easy to put together, but Monday's and Friday's posts will be taking a break until further notice. I apologize for the hiatus, but the demands on my time are too great at the moment and this is one project that I can't afford to delay. Marvel is putting a lot of marketing muscle behind me and I'd like to live up to the support. I hope you're all looking forward to the series as much as I am.

With that being said, I've got a cover (pictured above) coming out next week. You can preview the book and others at Newsarama. In the meantime, have a great weekend!

  1. I just love this cover. I have been read Daredevil in TPB since early in the re-launch. But this one may be worth picking up for the cover alone.

  4. Thanks, Michael! Been painting and coloring all weekend, but managed to step out for some good meals. I think they're going to release the first cover next weekend.

  6. Mayhaps, xx, but don't hold your breath. E-mail me in August. Hopefully, I'll have my life in order by then. Then again, maybe not.
