...of a currently untitled comic project. It's an SF, fantasy, armageddon coming-of-age tale. Coming soon: I'm going to paint it (in greyscale)!

UPDATE! I colored it

Enough, already ! (I know, isn't this foul?)

A SPACEMAN!! (to modify one's circumstance)

So many of us would like to modify our life circumstance. Perhaps habit, ease, unawareness, and/or a host of other variables contribute to a ceaseless and seemingly inescapable malaise or desperation. Sometimes though, there are moments to strip away life's baffling complexity and provide the clarity and purpose to make the desired change. Our hero, the spaceman, is in just such a place. He must escape or he will be absorbed into the giant space-amoeba. His failure will result in another type of modification, one performed according to the terms of another. Another with no good will or desire toward our hero. Alas!

Next week: FULL-COLOR!

Update: Now in FULL-COLOR!!

Though the machine is idle...

...it's purpose is clear. DEATH!! Happen into it's maw and be UNDONE!!! I was listenening to Noam Chomsky-Hegemony or Survival, and I drew this. Interesting... It seems to be based in some thoroughly adolescent sector of my mind. Or!... just a sci-fi expression of American global policy, which of course, is not idle.

Happy birthday!

This fellow is a bit SHAKY, but sated, after a gluttonous bender. He has eaten his fill and is ready fly to the next level. Washed in the blood of the lamb (chop), he has been born anew. Welcome to the brave new world, maggot.

Ten Buddhist Tales

Not illustration, a set design for the play "Ten Buddhist Tales" for which I was credited as Playwright, Artistic Director, Set Design and Construction and Illustrator; also, I "acted" in the thing.  Some memorable quotes from reviews include "Chaotic giant mind-freak that is near impossible to explain..." and "Like watching Ghandi and A Clockwork Orange at the same time" Neat-o!  Go to reredundancy.com for more info on the show.  It was a lot o' fun (also agonizingly annoying and painful) but I hadn't found the energy or time to draw during the production. Reestablishing  my rhythm in that regard has proved challenging though not impossible.  More drawings to come soon, thank you. Photos by Josh Reinhart.

Poised

The vicious bed-bug is poised to strike at the  unwitting humans detritus.

An old pale fellow...

...and his many furry friends have come for a spot of tea.

A ham, unable to be CONTAINED

His joys, like his juices, overflow.
