Uppsala Comix

I’ll be at Uppsala Comix, Sweden on 31 March!

I'm going to talk about my comics and comics-making process. I'll also sign my books.

If you are around, come and say hi!

Her Infernal Descent

This is a pin-up I did for the Her Infernal Descent trade, which is written by Lonnie Nadler and Zac Thompson, illustrated by Kyle Charles and Eoin Marron, and colored Dee Cunniffe.

Her Infernal Descent is a modern retelling of Dante’s Inferno – hell like you’ve never seen before.

Apes and Monkeys

As it’s Valentine’s Day, I think it’s an appropriate day to share the drawings I’ve done for my wife every New Year since our first wedding anniversary.

We both dig monkeys and apes, which is pretty obvious, I guess :)

Work for a Million

Last year I was invited to draw a pinup for an interesting Kickstarter campaign, which was launched earlier this week by Hope Nicholson and Bedside Press. The campaign is for a new graphic novel to be adapted from the 1980’s crime fiction novel, Work for a Million by Eve Zaremba, notable for being the first pulp novel to star a lesbian private investigator. In addition to the new graphic novel, Bedside Press will also be reissuing the original prose novel with a new cover.

The graphic novel will be adapted by writer Amanda Deibert and artist Selena Goulding. The cover is by Sean Phillips.

I drew this pinup for the project and it will also be the cover of the new edition of the original novel.

Check out the Kickstarter here!

Merry Christmas!
