Once again I’ve been silent for a long time, with no posts to the website in awhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2021 didn’t exactly go to plan, and I wasn’t as productive in comics as I’d hoped going into it. Household stuff kind of took over for much of the year, and a massive house renovation that lasted 4 months had us crammed into about three rooms of the house with stuff and furniture that wouldn’t fit into the storage unit piled everywhere, with limited space to work and a lot of distractions.

I started getting back into the swing of things in September, first inking the majority of the last short story I need for the long planned anthology of my sci-fi and fantasy short stories. I’ve got a few more details left to figure out, including whether or not I use the existing cover for the much shorter existing digital version or do I draw a new one. I’m not quite ready to launch it yet, so I’ve got some time to figure things out, but hopefully it and another new\/old short project will be out before my next convention appearances (still on hold for now).

I’ve also done a little bit of brainstorming and have started the outline and script to what may be my next Graphic Novel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other work, I was asked by my friend Michael Cohen to draw an alternate cover for the reissues of his 90’s series Strange Attractors<\/a>. I was a big fan back in the day so I eagerly said yes. It was a lot of fun. I’ll post the coloured cover once it hits Previews. They are being published by It’s Alive Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was also asked to ink Tom Fowler’s pencils on issues 3 and 4 of Refrigerator Full Of Heads from DC\/Black Label\/Hill House Comics. Isn’t that a mouthful! As usual it was a lot of fun working over Tom’s pencils. It’s pretty gorey stuff, but quite funny as well, and Tom is doing some of the best work of his career. It’s pretty amazing work and I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
