Happy Free Comic Book Day!

To celebrate, Wide Awake Press has put out another anthology (last year they put out Piltdown, which I contributed to). Anyways, I also contributed to this years offering, Ancient. I have a short story entitled The Two Least Responsible Guards in the Roman Army.

Here's the official blurb:

A monumental mix of new and classic tales featuring heroes, philosophers, creatures, and gods. Itll be spectacularly epic,epically spectacular, spantafically epilacaritll be good!

My buddy Scott had me adapt an old illustration for his band's upcoming 7". His band is called The Tim Version, a reference to the Replacement's version of their song Can't Hardly Wait recorded for the album Tim, but released with different lyrics on the album Pleased to Meet Me. They are embarking on yet another Japanese tour, and to commemorate it, the Japanese label Snuffy Smiles is releasing a split 7" with TTV and a band called Gleam Garden.

Last weekend my buddy Lou and I went to the University of Tampa for a drawing session. It was pretty great, UT has a cool campus, with a bunch of old buildings topped with minarets. Here's what I got done:

It wasn't my intention to be absent from the internets for two months, but things happen, I suppose. I've been busy keeping the wolves at bay. I've got lots in the works; a couple of short stories, a long story, and some other bits and nonsense. You'll be hearing from me again soon, I promise.
Here's a commission I did for an old friend:

I'm not going to bore you with my top 10 films/records/comics/books of last year; but suffice to say if yours doesn't include Night Marchers or Emanuel Guibert's Alan's War, well then your top 10 is wrong. Sorry boutcha.

Did a little drawing in my sketchbook last night, some drawing from ads, some not.

Some brush pen, some micron pigma pen.

Drawn while flipping through my totally awesome Youngblood comics.
