I just got my new issue of LEGO Club Magazine in the mail and it featured 7 pages of my comics! Here's the original art for the LEGO Agents spread. LEGO changed the background by adding scan lines and ghosting it a bit. I think their changes work well with all the call-outs and caption boxes. 
This is a comic I made way back in January/February for the UK version of LEGO Club Magazine.
I have had a request to show a sample of the upcoming Challenge of Mata Nui book but I don't know if I am allowed to show that yet. I'll ask my guys at Scholastic and see what they have to say. This magazine comic should satisfy you until then. The new book has a slightly different feel because of how I did the colors to synchronize with the new CG movie.
Speaking of the movie. I got to see about 10 minutes of it the last time I was at LEGO and all I can say is WOW! I saw the very first Bionicle movie and it was just so-so but this new Mata Nui movie is really incredible. I can't wait to see the whole thing on Blue Ray!!!!!!
Whew! I have been working like crazy for months and I FINALLY finished the last of 3 books for Scholastic. The final push was to complete the art for Bionicle reader #4: The Challenge of Mata Nui. You can pre-order it here...

I have about 50 of each Hot Wheels book so you can order multiples for your friends and family. I only have about 10 of the Exo-Force book.
This is a full page ad I made for the Euro LEGO Club Magazine back in November 2008. I still haven't seen this in print :( I had a total blast making this piece! It was fun to focus on just one image instead of a bunch of panels so I was able to dedicate more time to making it look good. The colors were tinted to make it look more like the animated TV show.
I have recently become a member of the Western Massachusetts Illustrators Guild (WMIG) and I am proud to announce that I will be participating in a group gallery show at the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art.

Hi! I finally received the latest issue of LEGO Club Magazine, which featured episode 3 of the ongoing Clone Wars comic. Here, for your viewing pleasure, is the clean art from that episode. The writer told me that the online clone trooper cartoons start to tie in with the magazine comic around episode 11 ... just watched episodes 11 and 12. Check them out!!!

I finished the art for episode 4 a couple of days ago and that was fun. Can't wait to see what happens next!
LEGO just uploaded a teaser site for their new space line, Space Police! Not a lot there yet but you can check out a cool stop motion teaser movie that will have you wanting more...

Special thanks to Boris for the heads up! Check out his awesome blog here...

I grabbed this picture of the new box art from here... Brickshelf
I have known about the Space Police for a while because I created the artwork for the box backgrounds :) The pictures from Brickshelf are the newer boxes that have my art. If you see any images from the 2009 toy fair show then that is the old CG art. The old art was very similar in composition so they are a bit hard to distinguish in these small photos. I'll post better photos when I can find some. These were created using a digital painting technique instead of my normal comic style. You can see more samples on my portfolio web page
More portfolio samples at the Mecha Zone
Hope you like them!
