Exciting News!

Hello All.

So, a drunk driver woke me up Sunday morning by totaling my car and driving away.  He was generous enough to leave half of his front end in the interior of our Geo Metro however.  He managed to push it 100+ ft before wedging the metro between my neighbor’s house and her car before he decided to back up and keep going.  In essence, we’re out a LOT of money (we were working on fixing up the Metro to near factory condition) and we’re out a Car.  We did have an old boat of a car in reserve, but some fool hit it today(Monday-Happy Columbus Day?) as well.  

I’m not asking for money, no.  All I’m asking is if you’ve been pondering purchasing a sketchbook, a comic book, original or print from me Now is the time to do so.  I’m offering ALL of my remaining works of art at your best reasonable offer and don’t be afraid to email or call to talk about it.  Sketchbooks ‘07 and ‘08 are available for $10 each or $15 for both.  Our flagship graphic novel “The Price of Tea’ #1 is also $10.  All of these in house publications are in a limited edition of 100, hand signed and numbered, with free domestic U.S.A. shipping. 

This is a looming threat to me continuing my artistic endeavors, so time is of the essence.  Thanks for your support; it’s especially appreciated at times like these.

Greetings all!

It’s been a damn long time since I posted here last, and I’ve got a lot of work done since!  First off, the first installment of our Graphic Novel, The Price Of Tea, is printed and ready to go.  View info about it here. We’ve created a whole website that is devoted to being a companion piece to the graphic novel just in case you’re not up and up on your Japanese studies.  It’s simplistic, but very interactive with lots of cool art.

Secondly, we’re going to be in Atlanta, GA on Aug. 27th-Sept. 1st, so if you’re down that’a ways swing on over to Dragon*Con and track me down in the Art show area.  I’ll show you some original artwork and maybe draw you a little somethin’.  (Of course you can buy a bunch of neat stuff too)

Thirdly, Mythic Circle #30 is out with a plethora of my illustrations in it.  I have a few copies for sale, so if you’re interested… Email me. 

Oh, and if you haven’t noticed, there’s a few new paintings in the gallery.  Go have a look!

Talk to you soon!

Hello All,

I’ve updated the website with a couple of new paintings- be sure to go get your eyes full here (link).

As for the Graphic Novel, here’s the synopsis to keep you enticed: The Price of Tea- 

Set in 12th century Japan when the lines between myth and history were overlapped; religion, bloodlines, and politics clash. With the winds of war brewing, a mysterious mountain dragon living under Muroji and reported to have the power to harness raging tempests, gets caught up in the web of fate.  Drawn from historical and mythic sources, The Price of Tea takes the reader through the gaps of historical documentation and into a rich and exciting fantastical world filled with Foxes, Kami, Samurai, and other creatures of myth that ruled Old Japan and shaped its history.

= New Paintings!

 This sucker is about 25″x  32″ and painted with Watercolor on Mulberry Paper.  If you know a thing or two about paper, Mulberry paper is extremely thin and fragile.  It’s practically like dying the paper, as the reverse side looks nearly the same, just a little lighter.  It’s always fun to stay up all night and paint, and as of right now, I’m not sleepy and don’t plan of sleeping until later tonight.  So damn productive today… Now, off to work on the Graphic Novel!

So, I’ve been working on this larger painting for the past couple of weeks.  Here’s a quick shot of it with the digital camera-
