MAX PAYNE

This is pretty big news for me! A few months ago I worked on a couple interior pages for a Max Payne prequel graphic novel that is going to be included with the DVD release. Now this isn't any normal graphic novel, this is a special animated graphic novel that is going to be a part of the bonus 2-disc DVD coming out on January 20th.

The greatest part was actually getting to see my images in motion and my characters talking and interacting.  A really cool project and well put together by the awesome team over at Comicflix

Spectrum 15!!

For those that do not know what Spectrum is, it is a annual book featuring a juried selection of the years best fantasy, sci-fi, horror artwork in everything from comics to editorials. This year I just happen to be juried in with the work I did for Wizards of the Coasts! This is always great news and such an honor.  A big thanks to Dawn over at Wizards for hiring me and being a wonderful art director... THANKS!

SPECTRUM 15 is available at most major book stores, comic stores and online at Amazon.

Pinocchio reviews

Wow, the response has been pretty amazing for Pinocchio. Check out the following reviews and see for yourself!

"David Seidman draws from Neil Gaiman’s Mr. Punch, and not only pays excellent tribute but crosses his take on Pinocchio into its’ thematic realm."

-Tom Sanford, cincity2000.com

"totally eerie and right out of the horror of Grant Morrison's infamous Arkham Asylum."

-Kate Napolitano, Wizard Universe

Pinocchio on sale now!!

Okay, before I start I just want to tell everyone I realize how much I suck at updating this. But I promise, this is a new beginning!!

Down to business... A project that has been near and dear to my heart is finally available to the public. Zenescopes widely popular Grimm Fairy Tales comic finally gets my own demented twist in the form of Pinocchio. Issue #31 of the series is on sale now and features not only my artwork, but my story as well. It was a blast to try my hand at writing and I have to say I loved it. So head on out to your local comic shop and pick it up!! I also have to mention that this is a 2-parter!! Look for part 2 to hit stands next month.

I also received a lot of nice press. Check out MySpace comics for a preview and Wizard Universe for a snazzy interview!

New York Comic Con 08

This years New York Comic Con was a blast as usual. I was hanging out with the Zenescope crew all weekend long signing copies of Se7en and even doing a few interviews. I also got the chance to meet some really cool people like Seth Green, Bill Hader and a real highlight, Basil Gogos of Famous Monster fame!





Another huge highlight was getting an invite to see Claudio Sanchez of Coheed & Cambria play an acoustic show at the
Sloan Fine Art Gallery in NYC. Not only did I get to see a very intimate show, but Clive Barker was having a show there at the time! Amazing! Thanks Blaze for the invite!

Coheed & Cambria

As an artist, I listen to music while working. It is essential for my work process and it keeps me going. Coheed and Cambria is one of those bands I listen to religously and that fuel a lot of the inspiration for my work. So needless to say, when I first met Claudio Sanchez of Coheed and Cambria, I was pretty nervous. I was also pretty excited to show him some of my work.

A couple months later I get a dream job. A piece of artwork for a band that has given me so much inspiration... the circle is complete.

The concept was a mechanical dragonfly that was to be used as banners on their tour. Not only did they use these on an extensive tour throughout the states, but they also made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live and on the official tour shirts.

Claudio is a great guy as well as Blaze and Pete at Blacksheep. I had a blast working on this project, and hopefully I get another chance to work with them in the future.
