In the comic world, if you draw a lot of girls, it's easy to get lumped in with cookie cutter 'bad girl' artists which is not really my thing. I am very grateful that my work seems to be very 'girl friendly' (and girlfriend-friendly!). I hear a lot of nice things from female comic fans at cons and it always makes me feel like I'm on the right track. I also hear a lot of, "My wife really liked the picture you drew for me and she hates comics" type stories 
follow me on Instagram...por favor
Hey gang, finally got on Instagram . Please follow me and pass the word.
I plan on posting more in progress stuff of things I am working on there as well. Michaeldooneyart
your favorite hometown go-to comic con
Just curious...we all know about the big name comic cons, but what are some of your favorite lesser known local shows?
Online consumer culture
Man, I should be used to it by now but I still think that it is REALLY strange when someone downloads literally hundreds of images from my Deviant page...which let's face it would probably take hours...But they don't leave a single comment. This happened a few times over the weekend. I don't know, I just think that's weird ;)
Oh yeah, I forgot about Boston Comic Con
I've been reminded that I haven't mentioned that I will be attending Boston Comic Con in August...so here you go, I will be there. It is actually the only other con I am confirmed to be at this year. Come by and say hey and if you want to set up a pre-con commish to pick up at the show, just drop me a line.

The content of your post is something that I think about often. You have a very unique style and that, above anything else, is what draws me to continue to commission pieces from you (what I think it was 5 this year). Also though, your artwork has the pin-up appeal without needing to keep it boxed-up. I gladly look through my commissions from you in front of my wife and the little guy crawling around. Yet, I have boxes - GFT covers come to mind (no offense to those artists) - that I would not be able to do the same with. I have recently decided to part ways with all my nude or explicit books (non-commissions) primarily because I do not want to offend my wife and premturely expose my son to these things. It's not the nudity - I actually think that is healthy - but the language of the piece is, to me, the most concern. Coincidently, that language is what makes a piece stand out.
[and, just to make sure... I'm not an idiot - I understand that my crawling 10 mo old will have absolutely no clue what he is looking at; I am more concerned when he's 2 or 3, walking around pulling my books off the shelf and asking me, or my wife, to explain to him what is going on in the pictures...]
