Snow Angel Finds A Home
Snow Angel, the story I originally drew for the cancelled anthology Snow Stories, now has a new home at Dark Horse Presents. The first issue of the new print incarnation of Dark Horse's flagship anthology is due to appear in March. Read all about it in this interview with publisher Mike Richardson, which includes a sample page from Snow Angel along with work by Paul Chadwick, Michael Gilbert and Robert Love.
Some pages from the story, which I colored using a Copic Airbrush, were featured last year on the Copic website.

Pushing The Envelope: Letters From The Basement
When the temperature hits the 90s in Portland the most comfortable spot in my house is the basement. Last week was a scorcher, so I decided that the moment had come for a major cleanup and reorganization down cellar. This involved sweeping away years of cobwebs, throwing away burned-out fireplace grates and towel racks ripped out during bathroom renovation, and finally unpacking the last boxes remaining from when Eve and I moved here in 1995. Inside one of them was a handful of old letters with decorated envelopes I sent to Eve over the years, which I'm adding to the batch my friend Geoff Seaman gave me after he moved last year. The top envelope is a portrait of the lovely Eve done before we were married; the four faces on the long narrow one belong to the vocal group The Bobs. I've also included a couple of envelopes sent to my grandmother, which my mother recently found in a box in dead storage.
I've sent hundreds of letters over the years, and I'm hoping to eventually get enough together for a collection like Folon's Lettres à Giorgio. Former pen pals within reach of this blog are hereby invited to help in this effort by scouring their attics and sending me scans.
