I just finished all the illustrations for the next years series. Visit my Deviant Art profile to see them all.
I actually saw Ninja Turtles, Ghostbusters, Gremlins, in theaters the first time they ran years ago. I can remember standing in line, what the theater looked like, etc for each of these. They made such a huge impression on me I can still remember standing in line and other details about each viewing. With the exception of Silent Night Deadly Night (never seen it) and Amelie (saw it once) the rest of these were always a favorite for me. Ive watched these over and over since I was a kid. I loved doing all the illustrations for these and can't wait to see them on the big screen.

"We're on a mission from God"
Ive been playing around with more of a cartoony style. This looks like a Saturday Morning Cartoon that never was but really want to see. I need to add the ghost of Cab Calloway as their sidekick.

Jiggs does a jig
A new pic of Jiggs playing his banjo.
and since my girlfriend now plays a ukulele she insisted on a Ukulele Kitty who has yet to be named.

PRESS RELEASE: Zeke Deadwood
The Good, the Bad, and the Rotting
Zeke Deadwood from SLG in July
He's tough. He's heroic. He's... really, really stinky. Like gag-inducing, birds-falling-from-the-sky stinky. He's Zeke Deadwood, zombie lawman, and if you're a no-count outlaw looking to rustle up trouble, you'd best be moving on! A villainous band of varmints has taken over a small town, and the townsfolk's only hope is an undead loner. Can Zeke stop the drunken rampage of terror? Will the townsfolk even let themselves be saved by the undead?
Created, drawn and co-written by award artist Thomas Boatwright with Ryan Rubio (creators of Cemetery Blues), Zeke Deadwood, is a classic western tale of Saturday matinee action with a healthy dose of B-movie horror in the form of a 24-page one-shot from SLG Publishing this July.
Boatwright teamed up with Rubio to create a character out of what had been a homework assignment at the Joe Kubert School. "Ryan wrote a couple of pages that really clicked with me and allowed me to finally do something sequential," said Boatwright. "I'm incredibly happy after all this time to have a company like SLG Publishing handling my favorite undead doodle."
Zeke Deadwood is available for pre-order at comic book stores now with the Diamond code MAY090641. A preview is available at the SLG Publishing website, www.slgcomic.com.

Jiggs: The Banjo Puppy
It'll be part history lesson on American music and part autobiographical. Mostly just a cute puppy learning new songs on his banjo though.

A Gentleman of Good Taste: Part II
A Gentleman of Good Taste: The Thomas Boatwright Profile, Part Two
By Kristy Valenti
Comics artist Thomas Boatwright grew up in a comics-friendly North Carolinian household. "My dad used to buy a stack [of comics] every week at the drugstore while he did laundry: ended up selling most of them to pay for my food and clothes though. By the time I got around to reading them, he had one brown grocery bag full left. Those are still some of my favorite comics ever." Boatwright also counts Edward Gorey, Charles Addams and Bill Watterson among his many cartooning influences: he clarified, "I like guys who have a style you recognize in like two seconds."
