ALIEN BOYS tells the real-life story of musician, director, and scooter icon Oliver Tree, picking up with him as he is thrown into the meat grinder of the music industry to promote his debut studio album "Ugly is Beautiful". Denied his chosen herbal medicine to overcome the aches and pains brought on by a deadly life in the fast lane, Oliver threatens to retire, prompting his label to find an out-of-this world replacement in Little Ricky ,an alien with a sick mix tape…In a world too small for the both of them, Oliver and Ricky are forced to either become fast friends or throw down in a turbo-charged battle that threatens to destroy them both.
Oliver and I started working together on music videos and designing characters, and creating Little Ricky was an early collaboration. ALIEN BOYS came together as a graphic novel over the course of the 2020 public health issue, when videos couldn't be shot and music tours were out of the question. We had a lot of time to craft the story which is a a good read for teens and up, or anyone that's ever suffered under unworkable labor conditions or a bad boss. Oliver Tree Vs. Little Ricky: ALIEN BOYS is available in three editions, softcover, hardcover, and Deluxe hardcover! Order now from Z2 Comics, our publisher on this one, or directly from me if you'd like a signed or personalized copy.

An epic 5,000 years in the Making! The Kane Chronicles follows brother-sister duo Carter and Sadie Kane as they combat the forces of Chaos...aided by famous gods like Anubis, Thoth, Bast, and the like. The three-book series was adapted and illustrated by myself from the original novels by Rick Riordan, and individually created as The Red Pyramid, the Throne of Fire, and The Serpent's Shadow.
Adapting and illustrating The Serpent's Shadow, I wanted an extra level of authenticity in all scenes set in Egypt. So the first step was booking a flight to Cairo for two weeks of intensive sketching and photos... The research trip took me to the Pyramids of Giza and Dahshur, a sleeper train to the ancient city of Luxor a balloon over the Valley of the Kings, onto the backs of many camels and horse carts, and into at least one subterranean speakeasy that would make Indiana Jones blush...
The rest of the work was completed from my studio in Los Angeles. Big thanks to the the ever-talented Stephanie Brown, Cam Floyd, and Aladdin Collar, who provided color assists to the books. For a look at process, Rick Riordan has a good post on his blog.
Each volume was published by Disney Hyperion Books, and is available wherever books are sold. For more info, glimpses of the interior art, and behind-the-scenes sketches, follow along at the Kane Chronicles Graphic Novel blog.
