New Projects
1 min read
So I haven't had much of a chance to really update things in a while. Now that my first show of the year is out of the way I can now refocus my goals and pick up some new projects. I have some personal commissions for some friends to do but after that I feel like I need to do something BOLD. Therefore, I'm also starting the ground work for my new comic project. I've been working with a writer friend that has a great concept and script for our first issue that I've been sketching out. I'm only two pages in and it's looking better by the minute. I can't give much more info until I draw more. I also intend on doing some more tattoo flash in the near future. Lastly though, I will also continue doing my color pieces because that's what everyone loves to see.
Thanks for reading,
Chris K.

100 WATCHERS

I know that I hit this amazing milestone a few weeks ago but with getting married and a crazy work load, I haven't had much time to write you all to say thank you! I appreciate all the faves, comments and llama badges you all have sent my way. I am truly honored. I will be posting about 50 or so finished works here in the next few days so hopefully there will be something for everybody. I have roughly another 300 in process drawings. My next show will be back in my home town of Warren, Ohio. I'll also be doing a convention in Akron and possibly Pittsburgh later this year.
Thank you all again,
Chris K.

Preview All-Americon 2013
1 min read
Hey Everyone,
As you might notice from the title I'm going to be previewing my next show. All-Americon is going to be Sunday, July 7th and if anyone is local I'll say this is THE BEST local show to go to. The vendors are great and the show just seems to be getting bigger and bigger this year.
As promised I have just about completed another 75-80 color pieces that I will be posting this week, new ON FIRE STUDIOS t-shirts, and I will have several pages from my new fantasy card set for sale matted and signed with Undercity Games and OFS certification. Another fine point is that I'll be accepting credit cards at this show so I won't be turning anyone away unless they try to write me a check. I'm really excited for the show and I hope you are too!
Thanks for reading, sleep is calling.

Back to Work I GO!!!

Hey everyone,
Just checking in to give a review of the past two months. Spring Fling in April was an amazing event and a great time with all the other artists that were assembled. I'd love to one day do an art jam with all those people...maybe just a collage of all our talents strewn together.
With Spring Fling I decided to do another sketch card set for my friends at Undercity Games. This time I pulled out all the stops and went for a full 72 card set of fantasy characters. This set was so much fun to do. One thing I love about working with UCG is that they're always giving me new and interesting projects. The set features 9 of the more popular categories of fantasy characters (paladin, dwarf, elf, gnome, dragon humanoid, cat humanoid, orc, mage and human). If you have any ideas for the next set let me know, I'm always up for a challenge.
I'm also starting up on some new color pieces and this time you'll see a lot of new characters, character repeats and variations. I hate going to a show and having to turn away a fan/customer because I don't have the character or costume that they want.
I'm unveiling some fresh banners featuring the ON FIRE STUDIOS logo and some of my original work. One is pretty much done with minor tweeks while the other is just laid out for the moment. I will also be accepting credit cards at all shows. I may even have some shirts printed from my new silkscreen shop. So as incoherent as this last paragraph is, the premise is that there are plenty of great things coming and you'll all be the first to experience it with me!
Thanks as always,
Chris K.

Previewing New Art and Spring Fling 2013
2 min read
Hey everyone,
I'm almost ashamed to admit I haven't posted anything in a long time but come this very weekend you'll see some new stuff being posted. For those of you watching me, expect around 100 new pieces to be posted. I've gotten permission to post my sketch card set for Undercity Games that I did late last year. This set is comprised of about 40 hero/villain sketches. Some of these did not make the set so you'll get to see some of the editing if you check them out at RPGnow.com. Just search Undercity Games and look at their awesome stuff. If you're a table top gamer this should be your new fave site.
Now that I've set that up, Undercity Games is also throwing a show at my local comic shop for an all day gaming expo known as Spring Fling 2013. The date for that is Saturday, April 14th. This is a great company throwing great events. I'll be there selling my work and raffling off one piece in their give away. Again, anyone who is remotely into gaming should come out.
Lastly, I will also be posting my cover for the Penguin Review that I finished last month. This is a student run publication for Youngstown State. I was asked to do the cover and I was so excited to see it finished. Can't wait to get my copy. You'll also see a TON of new color drawings.
Enjoy the show,
Chris K.
