Hey all. Usually when I make a journal I have to apologize for a year of inactivity. This time I've been posting art semi-regularly and I hope you've all been enjoying that. Thanks to everyone who stops by and even more so to those who take the time to comment or favorite a pic. I've been playing around with video more lately, recording some drawing sessions on Livestream and today I posted a sped of version of one of those sessions on Youtube. Links below:

Following me on Twitter is the best way to be notified when I'm about to stream. I usually tweet about an hour or two before I start streaming, though there is no rhyme or reason to what times I stream. Twitter: twitter.com/nelsonblake2
Upcoming books:
Witchblade #165
Witchblade/Darkness Western issue
Artifacts #29
Should I start using this journal for all that opinion stuff? I'm being convinced more and more that broad internet opinions are a waste of time. Then again, this journal or a blog is a much better format than Facebook or Twitter for that kind of thing. Still on the fence....

On 2nd thought, No Heroes Con for me this year
Thought I had arrangements and didn't. Sad clown. Looks like I'll be here drawing comics and playing Assassin's Creed.
Honestly, I'm shifting my focus much more towards pages these days anyway. There'll be less con sketches, commissions and original art from me for awhile. It's not a forever thing, but I'd like to put out a lot more books this year and I think I've got a good thing going towards that end. Thanks to all who wanted on the commission list. Your support is always appreciated.
In the meantime, I'll still be posting sketches and what not on DA and my tumblr, since I always sketch for warmups.

Heroes '12 and Commissions
Hey guys, I'll be attending Heroes Con. If you'd like a commission, now is the time to get on the list early. I'm doing pencil and copic sketches. Drop me a note with your requests, or hit me up via twitter or Email. Rates are generally between $25-50 for 8 x 11 and 100+ for 11 x 17, varying by request.
Thanks! Hope to see people at the show.

New Tumblr and New Techniques
I've been crazy neglectful of my Deviantart page, but I'm glad that people still come around here to check out my work. While working on Magdalena, it was really hard to post, because I was working mostly on pages that I couldn't show and I don't finish sketches enough to feel that they are worth sharing. I'll be posting a lot more now, and you might notice that I'm posting a lot more color work.
Coloring has always been a lot of fun for me, but it was kind of a hassle when I worked at TopCow offices(I still work for TopCow but I'm in NYC right now.) I had to scan, clean things up, then work with the Wacom and there just wasn't enough tim
I'll be at NYCC sketching at the Top Cow booth
Hope to see you there!

It is always great to see and hear new stuff from you. 
The problem with giving your opinion on the internet, anywhere is that there is always someone, somewhere who thinks their opinion needs to be shared because it is more important/correct than yours, blah, blah blah... So long as that don't bother ya please opinion-blog away. As an old fan of yours (or so I feel like an old fan, been following you since you were trying to get Orphan off the ground) it might be nice to read your opinions, find out a little more about you, personally
... Tis a thought anyway...
It is good to know you're art is keeping your busy & that you're getting paid for it!
-P.A.
