Stranger Things Art Book

It's been official for a few months now, but we are soon closing in on the release date, so I'll make an announcement. Here's the official propoganda:

Things are about to get a little…strange. I’m excited to announce I will be featured in VISIONS FROM THE UPSIDE DOWN: STRANGER THINGS ARTBOOK, coming October 15! Preorder your copy here: https://bit.ly/2Jbd3xC #StrangerThingsArtbook 

'Featured' is a bit of a stretch, but I do have a piece in said book that was approved by Netflix and the Printed in Blood people, so there's that. I can't show my image until the October 15th release date, but above is what the cover will look like. 

Zelda's Zombie Zoo

The other book that will be debuting at Detroit FanFare that I have a piece in is Zelda's Zombie Zoo written by Gary Reed and published by Binary Press. This is an all ages book, so even though it has zombified zoo animals, the gore and rotted flesh was kept to a minimum. So, I've been told. I've seen a few of the other contributor's images and there is a varied collection of zoo animals for your viewing pleasure. I will have copies of this book at my table in artists alley, so stop on by and get your copy this weekend.

The Book Of Tarot

The Hermit

I have a few projects coming to fruition this week, so I will be updating on them throughout the week. The first is The Book Of Tarot, a collection that will make its debut this weekend at Detroit Fanfare in Dearborn, MI. All of the artists in the book will be on hand at the convention to sign their little hearts away. The book was put together by Gary Reed and printed up through his Transfuzion Publishing.

I chose to do The Hermit card and the above image is what it looks like. I wanted to incorporate a few different aspects, such as The Hermit himself, the tale of Diogenes of Athens, which lends itself perfectly with this card and the story of St. Gerlach, a dutch mercenary who lived in an oak tree after his journey from the Crusades. The tree replaces the mountain in the original card.

I've already seen a few pieces from this book and they have all been stellar looking, so if you are into anything Tarot, then this book is for you. Stop on by my table in artists alley and pick up a copy.

Doomsday

Recently, I was able to participate in an artist only book about the Superman nemesis Doomsday. The book, put together by collector Michael C. Phifer is a beautifully done book, complete with slip cover and vellum between each image. When I say artist only, I mean that only Michael and the participating artists received books. This is not a book that one can pick up at a local store or on-line (unless the artists themselves decide to sell their copy, that is). It's too bad, too, because this is one nice looking book with such names as Neal Adams, Bill Sienkiewicz, Pat Broderick, Dave Dorman, Joe Jusko, Tim Vigil and myself!

The above image is my contribution and if you want to see more from the book, you can go to Michael's deviantart page to see them. A big thanks is due to Michael for allowing me to be a part of this book!

The Regime Changer

This here is my latest published cartoon. It will appear in the July/August issue of The Bulletin Of Atomic Scientists. They are the people who moniter the threats around the world that could affect our future as a species, such as nuclear and/or terrorist. They are the ones that keep the Doomsday Clock up and running. I think it's five to midnight.

I did this cartoon a few years ago and although I feel it's not one of my best ones, I'm still happy, of course, that it will be published (although it won't appear with my signature, I sent it off without signing it-duh.). This is one where the joke is better than the drawing, I think.

This was inspired by the whole Iraq/Hussein dabacle.
