Presenting the "Silver Angel"

Another cover for The Strain: The Fall has been released.  It is a cover I had been looking forward to doing since I started working on this project.  The Silver Angel is my favorite character from the novels, as an ageing luchador with a touch of dementia, raging against the vampire apocalypse, how could he not be.

Guillermo del Toro & Chuck Hogan's The Strain

Another reason I have been absent from the blog is, a year and a half ago I was hired by Dark Horse Comics to be the regular cover artist for The Strain comic series.  Let me just say right now that I am a huge fan of both Guillermo del Toro and The Strain trilogy of novels.  So when they offered me this job I knew it would be a a strain on my schedule (see what I did there), but I had to take it.  What follows are all the covers I am allowed to show, accompanied by the sketches that are fit to show.  Enjoy,

"How I Drew a Vampire for Guillermo Del Toro"

Hey all,
I mentioned recently that I had  a few announcements to make.  Well it is time for the first, I was recently hired as the regular cover artist on the Dark Horse Comic's adaptation of the The Strain trilogy of novels written by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan.   Without further ado here is my first cover for the series, and a link to a step x step article I wrote for IO9.com to help announce my coming on board.
