Time to face the day. Put on a good face, face up to it all. Get some face time with folks. See some friendly faces. I'm not trying to be facetious here.

These old V&V ads are nostalgia trips. But imagine being a teen and seeing this and thinking age 20 was reasonable for a guy to be an electronics researcher capable of building sci-fi devices AND becoming a champion of justice. Seems like a lot to do in the few years you've had a driver's license.

One of the projects currently fighting its way up the limited attention span bandwidth. I have some finished pages and a handful of finished scripts for short comics. Could be a lot of fun to draw the adventures of black knights, chainmail chicks, and skeletal warriors. #BlackPuddingZine

Ok... I'm sure there's a story behind why the back cover of this comic book is just red. Nothing but red. What a waste of expensive space! Draw somethin'! Hell... you could do a collage of the interior panels and it would be better than a blank page on your BACK COVER.

Is this not the coolest damn cover? I mean check out that angle, that dynamic composition. And a great joke!
I love Phil Foglio!

Well... I haven't scanned most of the old old old stuff. Some of it I can't stand looking at. I have some stuff, like this Catina drawing from... uh... probably 1989 or 1990.

I don't draw my own RPG characters often, but this is Lily Draper, my strange character in a playtest of a friend's William Burroughs/William Gibson inspired paranormal investigation game Quantum Lunch. She's sort of modelled on Beatrice from the Men in Black movie.

I think I have at least one Drakewood comic in my bins. My collection is utterly random. I do focus in on some things to complete my collections. Like Captain Carrot, John Carter.
If you haven't checked out Bryan Baugh's Wulf and Batsy, do yourself a favor and get some!

I'm trying to sort out all my art files. My god I have so many duplicates with slightly different names. Finding some weird shit in here. Like this ear. I drew this and I have no idea what it is or what it means.

Playing around with a Rapidoliner in my sketchbook, c. 1992. Obviously from some photo ref. This was when I was in college and taking every drawing class they had to offer. Fun times.

Random cheapo comic finds at local vendor mall. Got some fun stuff, some stinkers, but I love it.

Never trust your robot overlords. US letter is not at all the same size as A4. They are quite different in both width and height. Fuck off, AI robot scum.

Batgirl drops in for a tussle.
This one is very special to me. It's old, done with markers and brush pens during a time when I was finally finding my voice as an artist. Before this period, I felt like I was not connecting to my work. With drawing from this period... I felt completely at home.

Sounds like a fever dream.
I have two of them that I snatched off eBay because Vaughn Bode did the art for one of them (R. A. Lafferty's Space Chantey).
