Recent updates

I've set up a blog for the collaboration between me and Yukitoshi Kono, a brilliant, dark, cute, and funny artist. The Sally & Sue blog. Also, the American Comics Exhibition site is updated (thanks Patrick G!)

Also am trying to keep the "check this $#!% out!" blog as updated as possible! The character I created for this blog is now on display at Tokyo Big Site for the Tokyo Gift Show! I'll be there tomorrow all day, Thurs and Friday from about 5.
Here's a load of $#!% just for you!

IlloFri "late"

New Illustration Friday Illo. "I'm late! I'm late! And I don't even have a date!"

I'm letting my pride blind me to the true beauty of artistic expression. Each work has its own value and should be enjoyed in its own way. I've learned my lesson. I'll be good.
