  ...CALLING DICK TRACY!
This month is the 75th anniversary of Chester Gould's square-jawed, fedora wearing crime stopper, Dick Tracy! When I worked on The Nevermen for Dark Horse comics, Dick Tracy and his villains were a big inspiration — so in honor of his anniversary, I've added some new drawings to the illustration section.

  OVERHAUL!
It’s been a while since I added art to the Illustration and Comicwork areas of the website— so through the hard work of webmaster Nate Pride, there is now a major redesign to both sections. You’ll find many new examples of past and current artwork, including covers, sequentials, pinups, sketches and model sheets. Please check out the new areas and I promise to try and have them updated a little more regularly from now on!		  
  20 Years Ago Today! (Well, actually a couple months ago)
In 1986 my first professional comic work saw print on a small press fantasy series called The Realm for Arrow Comics. Now it’s 20 years (and a lot of deadlines later) and I’m happy (and damn lucky) that through feast and famine, I’ve been able to keep going and make a career out of it all. So forgive this 20th anniversary, self-congratulatory pat on the back— at least until I hit another 20!
  
 
PANGO!
Beware the overtly phallic ray of Dr. Pango!!
I just did a pinup for my friend (and writer of The Zombies That Ate the World) Jerry Frissen’s new Lucha Libre tome through Les Humanoïdes Associés. Here’s a sneak peek of it in b/w and you can jump over to Jerry Frissen’s Muttpop blog to see his wonderful coloring job along with the incredible artwork to the series by Bill and Gobi!

  TECHNOFEAR!
Well, nothing that dramatic really— but I've had a few people tell me my e-mails haven't been getting through, either ending up in their spam folders or lost in electronic limbo. I make it a point to answer every e-mail I get, and while I'm not online all the time I usually respond in a couple days— so if you don't hear back from me, check those spam folders or give me a shout.
