New And Exciting Things!! (I promise…)
So I’m not good at this blogging thing. It shouldn’t be this long between entries, but seeing as it’s coming up on the Abbsiversary of the creation of theabbsman.com and accompanying blog I’ve decided to turn over a new leaf. On or around April 1st I’m going to hopefully have up and running the newly redesigned website 2.0 with some brand spankin new content and such. Some of which will be stuff I’ve had done for a while but just haven’t had time to get up on the interwebs and some new new stuff which I haven’t even seen yet… And also I plan on including a whole new page devoted to sketchbook stuff. So yeah promises, promises!
On to other news! I kept forgetting to put it out here so sorry for the short notice but this Monday March 1st at my Alma mater the Art Institute of Boston they will be having an Illustrator’s Discussion Panel including our guest speakers James Yang, Mike Annear, and Joe Quinones! The even is open to the public and should prove to be really interesting and informative. Each illustrator has a different background whether they work more with comics, animation, or design they’ll be able to come with three different perspective to explain how they got to where they are and what their kind of work entails. It would be a great opportunity for anyone looking to make it in the field of illustration. For anyone interested in attending I’ve attached info below the flyer. The building itself is just a couple minutes walk outside Kenmore square!

And lastly just some fun stuff in the works. My friend Che (from over at D.I.Y. Jet) and I are collaborating on the Boston Comics Roundtable’s newest anthology! A horror anthology no less entitled “Hellbound”. A book based entirely around creepy true and legendary stories from around the city of Boston. We’re both very excited and are working our creative butts off on our one page masterpiece so that it can be seen in stark black and red. The red ink being glow in the dark of course ^_~! I’ll post more info as it come’s along, and possibly post some process work previews.
