  B.P.R.D. KILLING GROUND #5
"Somewhere out there, a man I've known for years has changed into God knows what..."
The monsters have disappeared, leaving a wake of dead bodies and unanswered questions in B.P.R.D.: Killing Ground's final issue. Kate and Johann hope to get some answers from the people who hold the key to the recent murders: the victims. The last chapter of Killing Ground will change the B.P.R.D. forever, as its agents learn with terrifying certainty that neither comrades nor monsters are what they appear.

  AN EXHIBITION OF UNSPEAKABLE THINGS
Works inspired by H. P. Lovecraft's Commonplace Book at Maison d'Ailleurs gallery October 28th 2007 to April 6th 2008
I was invited to contribute artwork for the Lovecraft Commonplace Book exhibit at the Maison d'Ailleurs gallery in Yverdon-Les-Bains, Switzerland.

H.P. Lovecraft's Commonplace Book is a compilation of 222 short notes and ideas recorded between 1919 and 1934 in a notebook that Lovecraft planned to revisit when developing later works of fiction. The reader encounters nameless abominations, giant underwater cities, ancient artifacts awakening forbidden memories, dreams fading into reality, new dimensions appearing at the corner of the eye, and creatures from another time hidden in human guise.

Following an invitation from Maison d'Ailleurs to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Lovecraft's death in an exhibition, one hundred artists have used this journal to explore the abysmal depths evoked by this singular author, transforming the museum into a place filled with things better left unspoken.

I contributed a trio of digitally rendered drawings that will be on display along with works by H.R. Giger, Rick Sardinha, Paul Carrick, Jeff Remmer, and many others. The exhibit runs from Oct. 28th to April 6th, after which I'll put the images up in the illustration section of this site.

With Nazis, Tibetan cultists, and a prophesy whose fulfillment could mean the end of the world...
