Here is a few of the printable art pieces that will come in the digital bundle. This is art Tess has never released in print or offered for sale. I had so much fun digging through hard drives looking for old art and reminiscing with Tess about where we where at the time when the art was made.

More Tess pictures!! These pics always make me laugh. She has the best facial expressions and she still makes these faces. The second photo is my favorite. That's her " WTF?!" face. The stuffed lion in the third picture also has a starring role in Take the Fall.

These are some of my favorite pictures of Tess. Back in the day we were more adventurous and would dress up and go to events. This was before we knew about masking and living with autism. Tess and I just were just raw dogging it through life on a wing and a prayer. Sure looked cool though.

Along with old Tess pictures i found some old Chris ones too. The little dog is named Lucky he always slept with me when he would visit. The other is me in the 501st. we did a Star Wars commercial for Sideshow when they got the license, I think it was 2005.

They hung on through the beginning of my career in comics, waiting for me after every project. Eventually I resurrected them for a proper comic and disaster hit again. They were not meant to be.

The Rascals were born at a San Fernando restaurant in 2010, after a catastrophic life change. Sadly they existed only briefly. Boris, Sam and Charlie helped me deal with a lot of questions about my life and my identity back then.

While going though the hard drive looking for art i ran across some old Tess photos i don't think many have seen. Tess and I have been talking about doing a joint Patrion where we don't just share art but our also our adventures through life.

One of the things I've been wanting to do with Tess's work is do some side by side page process shots like they use to do in the old Wizard magazine. A lot of you have said seeing process shots has helped with your work, so i hope this helps even more!

My wife draws and paints me a lot. It makes me feel special. :) She sees things in me I don't see in myself. I am loved and accepted just as I am. What a blessing.

This panel from Tess's memoir (again without letters because spoilers) shows exactly why I think everyone should read this book.

This is a page I really like from my wife Tess's memoir. The lettered version is better but it has spoilers.

Chris here. Sorry for the long delay in posting. Tess has been busy drawing and getting shipping put together. I've been designing and working with the printers to get the books looking legit! First round of printed book proofs should be here by the end of the month. Also enjoy this new Biker Girly!
