I've been up to a lot recently, but haven't had much time to post things -- or had many original things to post. This little gem is from the last installment of the "Gecko and Sticky" series of books -- which are actually pretty cool. I had a lot of fun with those.

Things you need

The things needed for continuation or your corporeal existence: air, water, food, shelter, clothing.

The last one I can provide you. Get a Toothless Joe shirt and impress your mom when you wear it. It may not make her happy, but she'll be impressed.

Also, if you haven't seen it, I've added the first chapter of "Lestrygonians: the Transdimensional Frenulum" to my site and you can download it.

One MORE thing, if you have kids and want a book or two that they'll want you to read over and over and over and over (really) to them, then you can get them here.

Chester 150% RDA of cuteness

I've been thinking about this one for a while now. We got Chester almost nine months ago. I had said that after the last dog I had, I'd never get another one. With all the kids we've got, I just didn't need the hassle.

But my wife Angie has a weakness for cute animals, and in mid-winter, it caught up with her. Since she had done so much for me, since I owed her more appreciation than any other person in the world, I didn't even think of putting up a fight (she could have wanted a boa constrictor and I would have found a way to make it work :) So, in February we got Chester the dog.

It wasn't but a few seconds before I was overwhelmed with his cuteness and any shred of internal resistance that I might have still been harboring was gone. There's something about a living, moving ball of fluffiness that makes it impossible not to believe that the world is, in fact, a wonderful place and that just to be alive is all the awesomeness that one can handle.

So that's Chester. Our lazy little mop dog. He lightens the load without even trying.

Transdimensional Frenulum #1

The first issue of my epic, "Lestrygonians: The Transdimensional Frenulum" is finished. I've got some pages posted on my Lestrygonians blog for you to check out.

toothless joe mini comic!

I've been working as an illustrator and cartoonist for several years now, but this is the FIRST time I've ever done a whole comic book. It's a 28-page mini comic about my buddy toothless joe, and it's pretty awesome.

"Greeting" cards

I have been pretty busy and haven't had time to get a post up recently.  Well, I'm still busy, but I needed a distraction.  Here are some cards I've recently done.  A couple I did for my wife on her birthday and one for Valentine's Day (which happens to be our anniversary -- killed two birds with one stone there).  The other one with the skeleton and the clock is a birthday card illustration I did for more general use.

Batman and Robin

I was recently asked to do a "Batman" for a child's Christmas present, so I did.  It was pretty fun --not as fun as Spiderman, but still pretty fun.
