I found out last night that the anthology I contributed to Nursery Rhyme Comics has been nominated for two Eisner awards! Really wonderful news and so well deserved. It's an amazing book. Thanks so much to everyone who have supported it.

Marrowbones Troll
A character sketch for Marrowbones, which will be done this week! I'll be posting more work from the book this week. Marrowbones will only be available from here as a download for the time being, I'm thinking two dollars, which I think is pretty good for a book nearly fifty pages long.

A sketch of the character Veruca from Buffy the Vampire slayer. She wasn't in it a lot but I thought she was a really interesting character. check out the episode Wild At Heart from season 4.

Your Humble Narrator.....
A panel from Marrowbones, all finished! This is the narrator, who is the Marrowbones librarian. He doesn't have a name quite yet. The library itself is this creepy old building sinking into the swamp. I'll be saying this lots: thanks so much to Steve Ogden for all the colouring help! I really appreciate it. Your advice has helped make a much better comic. And it looks like my wife, Julie, will be lettering Marrowbones! I'm really excited about that, having family help with comic making.
