We present the first results from time-dependent blazar jet radiation transfer simulations. Monte-Carlo simulations for relativistic shock acceleration have been conducted to solve for representative electron spectra injected in the jet shock environs; these are used as an input into our radiation transfer code. Our code can handle arbitrary electron distributions on arbitrary spatial grids, as resulting from the shock acceleration simulations. It evaluates self-consistently the synchrotron and synchrotron self-Compton emission, particularly relevant for high-frequency- peaked BL Lac objects. With our new code, we are able to study in detail spectral variability patterns in blazar spectra and their relation to the underlying electron acceleration and cooling mechanisms. This offers the potential for new insights into shock MHD conditions and embedded turbulence in blazars. In addition, our simulations can also be applied to analyze the jet timing properties in other astrophysical systems such as X-ray binaries.
