Well, today marked the day! It was my long-awaited Naturalization ceremony, during which I officially became a U.S. Citizen! It was 1985 since we left my birthplace of South Korea… and it truly has been a long road! I have so much to be thankful for… and so many people to thank that made this possible. Many of you that have commissioned me for artworks have played a part in my accumulating the necessary funds to pay for the process. THANK YOU. This is a happy day!

Happy Holidays & 2 Giveaways!
I love this time of the year! God has been truly good to me this year in many countless ways. As a thank you to many of my friends that have played a great part in this, I am giving away 2 things.
First contest…WIN A NEW WITCHBLADE ANIME SEASON 1 DVD! I am giving away a Brand New, Still Shrink-wrapped Witchblade, the Anime Season 1 DVD. All you have to do is between now and New Years, signup for my newsletter. Your e-mail address will NOT be used for any other purposes than to send out occasional e-mail newsletters from me. One lucky e-mail will be randomly selected to be the winner. Please, we’re all friends here… so no more than one e-mail per household. [updated 11/25] Boys and girls, the DVD is TV-MA rated, BTW… so please do be advised that the winner will have to be at least 18 before I mail this DVD to you. I am also informed that it contains possible strong sexual themes and other “adult” materials… so please be advised. I do not wish to offend anyone.
Second contest… WIN A FREE JUNBOB COMMISSION! Everyone who had commissioned me for artwork ( Penciled or Inked on 11×17 counts. Sorry, penciled or inked sketches on 8.5×11 do NOT count ) so far this year 2007 will be eligible to win a choice of either Penciled or Inked Commission of his/her choice. If you’ve already purchased a commission from me already this year, there’s nothing you have to do. To those of you that have commissioned me more than once, I will increase your chance by the number of commissions you’ve purchased. One random winner will be selected around noon December 24th.
Marvel/DC ZombieFest in Technocolor!
Alright, a few of the fellow posters from Comic Geek Speak forum took up the challenge. For a while, pocosong seemed to be the only one that making any real gain… it seems though even he was bitten by the lack-of-time bug. Out of no where, a DC colorist jumped in and rose to the occasion. His name? Allen. aka angryf. aka graphics84. His site? http://www.angryf.com. In his blog, he showcases the color image that he knocked out of the park.
Here’s the preview of the image in its full color glory! (Click on the image to launch a larger image)
Fairwell, CBI3!
Well, I have permanently decided to put aside the CBI3 assignments. All the controversies over voting improperly reflecting true talents at the main contest… I don’t think that the “Play-at-Home” threads are really getting any real attention from the editors and judges. Not that I’m complaining about that aspect… as it’s only fair that the main attention needs to be given to the guys in the competition.
The decision really came more from me finally stopping myself from this personal emotional roller-coaster of an event and get my butt back in gear with some real offers already on the table for me by guys like Kevin Grevioux (Underworld, New Warriors, etc.), Mike San Giacomo (Phantom Jack) and Steve Bryant (Athena Voltaire).
CBI3 Round 3 Submission

CBI3 Round 1 Submission
Well, the 1st set of script was from Aspen… and it was a 3 pager of Fathom in action. Well, I was really depressed after not getting nominated… I almost didn’t participate in the “Play at Home” contest. At the last minute with regained hope, I drew up 3 pages of what I could. Here is what thread on Comic Book Resources forum with my submissions. You can follow up on some reactions and critics from the other Play-at-Homers.

Finally, an Update!
Well, I know that this may come as a shock to those of you returning to my site… but I’ve managed to finally launch an updated site. I’ve had some complaints from some visitors that the old Flash-based interface caused problems. Hopefully, the new design with the updated, separate Gallery is easier to navigate for most people.
So, here’s goes nothing, folks. Let’s hear it. Is the re-design a keeper?
Why did I do this to myself?
Oh, well… I guess I should have known. With over 190+ entries, I was NOT one of the ten (nor top 12 or so) selected to participate on CBI3. Kinda depressed… thought I really had some real chance this year. Gosh, this sucks… kinda sucks the will out of wanting to continue drawing. 
I guess I should have listened to Kevin Grevioux’s advice to just stay away from the contest. Shucks!
