I’m going to be set up in Artist Alley table BB-13 during San Diego Comic-Con. I’ll have two limited edition prints (a Young Justice print, a Spider-Man print), and my  2010 sketchbook available for sale and I’ll be drawing as many commissions as I can.

I have the honor of sharing my table with one of my best pals in the industry, Marvel’s superstar inker/writer, Andy Lanning! He’ll take over my table for an hour or two each day of the con. He’ll have lotsa cool art for sale and may whip up a few commissions as well. So bring your Nova, Guadrians of the Galaxy, and War/Realm of Kings comics to get signed!

I plan on doing my traditional 7.5″x10″ head/bust shots. And I am also going to take a limited number of 9″x12″ figure commissions. Not sure how many of the figure ones I can do during the con, so be sure to hit my table early and see if you can get on the list.

I’m also appearing at the Marvel Booth #2329 for signings, Thursday, July 22, 10 – 11 AM and Sunday, July 25, 10 – 11 AM.

See you at San Diego Comic-Con!

Super Heroes #1 variant cover

Hello and welcome!

If you watched Extreme Makeover: Home Edition on Sunday, February 21 starring KISS as they joined the EM:HE team to help out the Wagstaff family, then you probably saw the art I created for their son, TJ.

TJ is an aspiring young artist. I was contacted by Marvel Comics to create an original piece of art featuring TJ alongside some of Marvel’s heavy-hitters: Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor. This piece of original art was for TJ’s room along with lots of other cool Marvel stuff. But the art will also be used as a variant cover to the first issue of Marvel’ new all-ages series, Marvel Adventures Super Heroes coming out in April.

I have been a comic creator for the past 15+ years working for Marvel Comics and DC Comics. I’ve been the artist for such series as Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Teen Titans, Young Justice, and my creator-owned series WildGuard, to name a few. Most notably, I was the artist that drew the historic and top selling Spider-Man team-up with President Obama that ran in Amazing Spider-Man #583.

I am currently continuing my work with more Spider-Man projects like Spider-Man: Clone Saga and Web of Spider-Man. Read more about my career in the ABOUT section.

You can follow me on Twitter and my Facebook Fanpage to  get updates of my next comic book conventions and store appearances, and the upcoming comic book projects I am working on.

They are taking my pencils and bringing the sweetness. I’m really happy to be working with them!

Then, when teenager Roy Reyna finds he can transform into the super-powered simian APE X, it’s more fun than a barrel of monkeys…until H.A.M.M.E.R. agents capture him! Plus: in the face of a fate worse than death, the Ape Universe’s greatest minds and leaders must come together to save their world in a secret council known as – the PRIME EIGHT!

If you’re looking for wildguard.com, you’ve found it! I’ve changed my site to a blog. I’ve found it’s easier to gallery my art at http://toddnauck.deviantart.com. But I will still be posting new artwork here as well.

I decided to take my Official Site to a blog site to make it quicker and easier to update everyone on my projects, convention appearances, post some new  art  and jabber about whatever comes to mind. I want to give big thanks to my best pal and former inker, Lary Stucker, for doing most of the leg work on this change over. He’s a website wunderkind. Follow him on Twitter: http://twitter.com/larystucker!

Things are still pretty new here as I get under way. So stay tuned!
