We have a ton of trees where we live, and every fall we manage to rake up a pile of leaves that is almost 5 feet high, by 10-12 feet wide. During the days in October and November, when the they have all turned colors and start to fall from the branches, it literally rains leaves. My wife and I love watching this happen.
One day, Patty was walking on our deck, and a gust of wind swept up all the leaves and swirled them around her. It was quite a beautiful scene. We had such great weather her the last few days, I will hate to see the fall disappear!

I will be at SPX in Bethesda, MD on the weekend of 9/26-9/27. If you happen to be going to the show, stop by my table.  I will be selling stuff at the Draw Sucka! table which is F15. Not only will I have both the Draw Sucka! books on sale, I will also have Desmond’s First Dozen which is a collection of web comics printed in high quality!

Here is a pin-up I did for the brothers Houghton for their amazing comic REED GUNTHER! Issue two has just been released, and is currently up for sale on http://www.reedgunther.com

Here are two more sketches that I recently found while cleaning out my studio. These were from the opening days of DRAW SUCKA! when the group met in downtown Royal Oak. Ah, the good ol’ days!

When cleaning my car out yesterday, I came upon a few sketches I drew at Draw Sucka! last year. I had to post this one of of Richie partaking in his favorite pastime! HA HA!

In honor on Desmond’s Comic finally being up and running, I’ve decided to post a few developmental sketches of Desmond and Devil Bunny as their video game counterparts Snapper Wolf and Candy Snap.

I am still working through all of the finer details, but this is the first blog post on the newly renovated www.artatjoes.com.  The sight has been streamlined in order to organize my artwork and keep it current.  I’m still stumbling around with the new wordpress interface, but so far its turning out satisfactory.  I hope you enjoy the website as it develops.

Check out Desmond's Comic! Coming Soon!
