I've created a tumblr blog

Hello to whoever is still paying attention to this blog. You might notice that I'm not a very prolific artist therefore this blog is rarely updated therefore few if any people are paying attention. So I have decided to start a tumblr blog. Because of reblogging, I find that I can update my tumblr regularly with interesting and inspiring art that will hopefully attract people who enjoy the same things I do. That way people will be tuned in when I actually do have new art or news to share. I will avoid using my tumblr as a grease catch of internet memes and inside jokes etc ... and instead focus on the kind of stuff that looks like art that I wish I had made myself.
So you can now stay up to date on my output and aesthetic preferences by going here -

 I'm not sure how often I'll use this blogspot in the future. Maybe I'll post here when I have a lot to say, which isn't very often.

Another sample from my current project.

Here's the latest image I just finished and a reminder that I still have plenty of prints for sale.

Stumptown Comics Fest

This Saturday and Sunday (April 16-17) I will be at Stumptown Comics Fest in Portland, Oregon. I'll be selling letterpress prints, Monster Parade, and Paper Theater. You can find me sitting at a table with Zack Soto and Kazimir Strzepek.

Fantasy Postcards

Here are some images from an old book I found full of postcards "from the late Belle Epoque through The Great War". It was printed around 1975 and is written by and from the collection of William Ouellette. ISBN 0-385-11230-0

Original Art for Sale

The following three pieces of original art that didn't sell at The Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival Fest are now for sale on my etsy store.

Another reading this Saturday

I'll be reading again from Monster Parade this Saturday December 11 at Comic Relief in Berkeley at an event organized by Francois Vigneault
