Hey All---
 While at ECCC, my friends Steve Lieber, David Hahn and Jonathan Case convinced me to get on Twitter.  I fought it for a long time, but in the end, they were convincing.  
 Also, I ended up finding it to be more fun than I expected it to be.
 So please follow me on Twitter @graphitemonkey.  I'll do my best to be entertaining, and will probably avoid photographing what I'm eating.
 Have a pleasant day.

  Have an excellent week, everyone!

When I first met Dave Johnson, who was one of my biggest influences as a young artist, the first thing he said to me was, "Change your name."
  Over the years, Dave's advice has proven to be quite sage.  I've been a comic book illustrator for many years now, and have spent so many of those years being mistaken for Dave.
   I've never been able to figure out why, but folks seem to gloss over everything between the D and the Johnson in my name.  It's not something I tend to sit around and fret about, but a while back, a convention organizer approached me at a show (One different than his own), and spent about a half hour berating me for not appearing at his show as I had agreed to.  I was baffled.  I'm a little fuzzy headed now and again, but not so much that I'd forget to be at a show...Yet I had never heard of this man.... It took me a while of trying to calm this fellow before it occurred to me that he was looking for Dave.
  So to save us all some time, I thought it might be worth while to (mostly) take Dave's advice at last.  I don't really want to fully change my name, but I can at least lengthen it---Maybe give folks more to chew on between the D and the Johnson.  We'll see if that does the job...If not, well, no one seems to be using Lucius VonVanderhoffen as an alias in the comics industry right now....
  So from now on,  look for my work under the long and kind of stuffy brand of Drew Edward Johnson, and remember that it's Dave we should show the love for his wonderful work on the covers of 100 BULLETS and many other great projects.

It's true!
  I'll be spending my Saturday at The Long Beach Convention Center, appearing at The Long Beach Comic Con's One Day Comics Expo.  If you happen to be in the area, please drop by and say Hello.  I'll be selling original artwork, comics and sketches, and previewing new work for anyone that might like to check it out.  It'll be fun!

Back in 2002 or so, I drew most of what was going to be an X-MEN: ICONS series featuring Emma Frost, The White Queen.  As I was approaching the middle of the third issue, I was asked to stop work on the book when Marvel decided to set the mini-series aside in favor of an on-going EMMA FROST series.  The ICONS series, written by Sean McKeever and inked by Rick Ketcham was never published, and recently, after several years, the artwork was returned to me.
  Our ICONS mini was a cool project.  Sean had written a compelling and elegant story, and Rick's inks over my pencils were just gorgeous.  I wish the book had been published, but sometimes these things happen.  Ultimately, I have absolutely no complaints.  I was paid for my work, and I learned a lot artistically while at work on the book.
  I just finished an interview with Aimee LaPlant at www.emmafrostfiles.com about the unpublished ICONS book.  Here's the link if anyone might like to check it out: [link]
  The article includes several of my pencilled pages from the book, and a look at what might have been.  Big thanks to Aimee and www.emmafrostfiles.com for giving this work a chance to be viewed.
  
  Also---Please don't forget that I'll be appearing at NUCLEAR COMICS in Laguna Niguel this saturday, May 5th from 10am-2pm for Free Comic Book day.

  The following Saturday, May 12th,  I will be appearing at the Long Beach Comic Con's One Day Comics Expo at the Long Beach Convention Center.

  Please drop by one or both appearances and say Hi.

Kind of.
  I'll be appearing at NUCLEAR COMICS in Laguna Niguel for Free Comic Book Day this Saturday, May 5th from 10 am to 2 pm.  Please drop on by and say Hello.
  Here's where you can find Nuclear Comics:  28985 Golden Lantern Blvd, Laguna Niguel, CA, 92677.  Google the directions---It'll be fun!
  Hope we'll see you there.

Haven't posted any new art lately, and with the recent print publishing of BEYOND THE FRINGE, I thought it'd be a good time to post my sketch concepts for the covers for the Peter Bishop story.  I had a great time working on that project with my editor Jim Chadwick and Peter Bishop himself, Joshua Jackson, who wrote the story.
  Anyone who might possibly be wondering, "Where has Drew been?  Why is his work so rarely on the comic shelves any more?"  To you, I would say, "Hey.  Thanks for thinking of me." and offer this explanation---I've been working on a creator-owned series with DC Comics for a while now.  I wrote it and am drawing it.  We're getting all of the issues completely finished up before we even solicit it.  In doing this, I've been able to put extra time into my artwork, and make it the very best book I'm able to.
  I'm currently working on the final issue, and am really hoping we get this project published by the end of 2012, or in early 2013.
  Stay tuned for future announcements, and seriously, Thanks for thinking of me
