Former video game concept artist, now making comics. My first comic, the Green Monk, was chosen as one of the YALSA's Top Ten Great Graphic Novels for Teens booklist in 2011; the only self-published title to make the list. I live in Salt Lake City, Utah with my wife Annie and two kids. On a good day, I can solve a rubik's cube in under a minute, but usually it takes me a little longer.

Green Monk: Blood of the Martyrs is on sale TODAY at your local comic book shop. As part of the book launch I'm giving away this piece of original art. It was an alternate cover for the book. To be entered to win the art, all you gotta do is take a pic of yourself with the book, include the hashtag #greenmonk and tag two friends. Thanks for all your support on Tapas, this is really where Green Monk found it's feet!

If you'd rather pre-order Green Monk: Blood of the Martyrs via your local comic book shop you can do it with the order code below. I even made a convenient mnemonic device to help you remember!

So what the heck's been going on with Green Monk? Well, it just so happens that the full 122 page story here on Tapas is being released this September from Image Comics under the title Green Monk: Blood of the Martyrs.

But I've made one small (not small) change. The first 48 pages will be appearing in FULL COLOR. It took a decent amount of effort and some much appreciated help from some amazing color assistants, but we finished it and it looks beautiful.

If you love Green Monk, and you'd like to support the creation of more comics like this, please support the book by pre-ordering on Amazon. http://a.co/02xH8sR

I don't do Patreon, specifically because I would rather receive support through the purchases of books. The book was a labor of love and a massive amount of work, not to mention the coloring assistants that I hired to help me across the finish line. Your support of the book will help me directly to tell more stories like this.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read Green Monk! Sharing it has been the best part of the experience.

Keep your hats on. The final chapter of Green Monk drops this Wednesday at 12 noon EST. 26 new full-color pages and the conclusion of Book 1. It's all been leading up to this.

Curious about how I color Green Monk? Check out this tutorial on my coloring technique. Hoping to wrap up line-art for the final chapter of Green Monk soon. Next update coming this summer for sure! https://youtu.be/vsxEymuf938
