Flying VW Bug

The issue is back from the printers, so I'm told it's safe to post the illustration I did for sub-Terrain magazine.

I'm pleased with the way it turned out. I can't wait to see it in print. Let me know what you think.

Over the weekend, a couple of my prints were auctioned off at a Pile o' Bones Roller Derby fundraiser. Besides getting some nice attention for my art, I got to listen to some good local bands and enjoy the sight of tough girls on roller skates (not blades - never even mention blades) selling shots. The hottest Roller Girl by far was Ang Xiety - MROW!

The sad news related to the above story is that in getting the two prints to donate, I discovered that they were the only two not water damaged. The portfolio in which I had them stored was victim to my leaky basement. Sad, sad day.

Success and commerce

Much has happened since my last post, but I've been plagued by a devil virus that's been decimating the Queen City. I've seen this cold linger for over a month in some unfortunate wreches. It's a dirty tease, too, occaionally waning and delivering hope of recovery only to return with a mucusy vengence. I believe I'm on the mend now, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

First exciting piece of news: I got my first postcard-generated commission! YAY! I'd almost tossed the e-mail as spam, but luckily I took the time to read it. It was from a Vancouver based literary magazine called subTerrain. They requested an illustration to accompany a short story by J. Jill Robinson. So I did one. I don't want to post it yet, as the magazine hasn't been published, but once I get the go-ahead from sub-Terrain, I'll put it up for all to see.

The other news is that the store is open!

It took longer than expected, but I've put together a Cafe Press store featuring a ton of products featuring my artwork. Please buy something. My son is hungery.
