So far and beyond...

Haunted Treasure:

The supernatural pirate themed card game I did all the art and designs on should be coming out this year at some point. I just had to sign a release for a lawyer so it seems to be on track.

Sequential Pulp

The Halloween Legion graphic novel I drew should be released around late September. Just in time for Halloween!

After some creative differences and just being burnt out, Im not doing the Silver John book. What drew me to the project was my personal attachment to the subject matter and sharing that just was not working for me. Long before SP came along, I had wanted to adapt it all by myself and release it for free. Still might do that one day, but for now Ive learned John lives best in my mind when I read Wellman's words.

Howard Lovecraft

Back in 2011 I did full art duties for Howard Lovecraft and the Undersea Kingdom which is available now and has received some pretty good reviews. Last month I drew the sequel Howard Lovecraft and the Kingdom of madness which should be out later this year as well.

Outlaw Territory Vol3

I drew the short "Fifth Ace" in the upcoming vol of this awesome western anthology. Its been an uphill battle for this and it's the last one, so be sure to pick it up at a comic shop this June!

Some Kind of Blue Moon

Writer Michael Stewart contacted me as a big fan of my Zeke Deadwood books. He said he had a werewolf book he wanted me to draw when I got the chance. That time came around last month and I really LOVE this book. A great balance of drama, comedy and horror that fits what I do perfectly. Ive drawn the first 2 chapters and can't wait to get a hold of the third. Ill be very happy to announce when this is ready.

Paul Allor Projects

Orc Girl was released right at the end of last year. There has been lots of praise for this little story. The biggest compliment I think we've gotten is the request for more. Paul and I are pretty content with how it is, but just like I am with Zeke, there's always the possibility for more. We do have a follow up of sorts if not a direct sequel. Not in the same universe, but if you're a fan Orc Girl, you'll love our next fantasy comic. I get to draw a dragon...

The Monster Book

Its still in the works. Ive gone back on forth on digital vs originals. I work mostly digital so i figured I could knock those out pretty fast during the work day. However, after drawing on a cintiq for 10 hrs, the last thing I want to do is spend my free time doing the same thing. To make it more enjoyable for myself (which should translate to the art) I'm doing them all as a series of 9x12 black and white originals. Still deciding if I want to add an ink wash to them or leave the lines as they are.

The next step is how to print it. I can go with Ka-blam just to get the product done. There's also some local printers other artists have vouched for I can look in to. This would keep the price point around $10 or so. I am, however, VERY tempted to bind my own copies. Making a hardcover isnt all that difficult but it adds a lot of time and materials. Price would probably end up closer to $30-$40 range. But there's that handmade, one of a kind craftsmanship you just dont get with a print on demand book.

and BEYOND!!

My old collaborator Ryan Rubio is working on revising an early project for a new form. My good friend Lincoln Griffin wrote me an amazing script for the comic we're working on. At some point Ill be illustrating a book for Curtis Rx of the band Creature Feature.

Road Raptor

2013-03-26T10:35:00.001-04:00

I read this post today with thoughts about what dinosaurs may have looked like.

"For example, we know that Velociraptor’s environment was mostly desert dunes, so it’s reasonable to depict them with coloring similar to a road runner or other desert bird."

So I looked up a Velociraptor skeleton and a picture of a roadrunner and whipped up this image in about 20 mins to satisfy my curiosity.

Baphomet County 003

2013-03-08T10:55:00.000-05:00

Its basketball season here in NC. I dont follow any sport so I have no clue what that really means other than the local news is mostly sports talk and I can't get around anywhere near the coliseum area for awhile.

When I'm asked which team I'm pulling for I feel like an alien trying to pass for being human. Its the same feeling that had me dressing like Larry the Cable Guy in high school. Its the only look a 400 lb white kid could pull off and sort of blend into a rural community. "I am a hooman as well! Pay no attention to the freakish monster with no emotions drawing cartoons in the back of the class! Im just as dumb as any other redneck! Hyuk!"

Happy Valentine's Day from Baphomet County

2013-02-14T09:36:00.000-05:00

I made this one for my wife, but if you'd like one of your very own, you can commission one through my Etsy Store in either a basic or deluxe version!

Steampunk'd Baphomet 2 and figure commissions

2013-02-08T06:31:00.002-05:00

No idea how long Ill keep these strips up. Just fun things my wife and I talk about. We both got a kick out of saying "oversized novelty pocket watch" for some reason.

And for those of you interested, Im now taking figure commissions of my Baphomet Devil Bat sculpts!

Before I try and make dozens at a time, I'd rather take it slower and just the ones per request.

First up is the basic 3" bottle cap base design. Made from sculpey, wire, and paper wings.

Next is the deluxe version! Slightly larger build, with a tin can base (whatever type I have on hand). The one pictured has a cigar box guitar, but I will try to incorporate any requested prop.

If youre wondering, yes my Monster book is still in the works, but its slower going than I'd hoped. The car emergency and the commissions I needed to take set me back a bit time wise. Also after drawing 10 hours a day, my hand wont let me draw much more.

Baphomet County Cigar Box Guitar Player

2013-01-28T09:33:00.000-05:00

Plan is to have a bunch of these little guys ready to launch around late summer. Just in time for autumn! I want to have a few of these with instruments and a tin can base, as well as some smaller ones with bottle cap bases. Looking into button making, a rag doll design (that my wife will actually be making) and of course some original art pieces, all featuring the little devil bats of Baphomet County and Belezebub Hoax's Brimstone Stompers jug band.
