Finally read Starship Troopers
I enjoyed the movie by Paul Verhoven, the guy who also directed one of my favorite movies, Robocop. I had always heard the book was legendary, so I finally made it through to reading it. What a letdown. Instead of being better than the book, it was far dryer and more detailed while coincidently much less graphic. All the cool bug stuff is almost completely left out, while way too much time is spent spouting boring technicalities regarding army organization. I know the author is ex Navy. So maybe he is more accurate in some of the small details regarding military units, but it would help if he concentrated on inserting an interesting story while he was at it. Really disappointing. Especially after I liked “Old Man’s War” so much, and I learned how much the author of that book looked up to Heinlein.

Reworked this a bit. I’m picky, what do you want.
Some illustrations come out right away, some I keep reworking. This is one of those I’ve reworked several times. Fifth illustration for my new book “The End Of The World”, this details the scene where local militias, using army reserve stock, utilize violence to instill martial law.

It took a while
But here is my latest drawing for my new novel. Detailing a part of the book where, in the middle of a collapsing central government, local reserves take up arms to form city-states, I had to draw and redraw this several times. It seems like every other illustration comes out in the first pass, and unfortunately this was the odd one.

Working on the 5th illustration for my new book
This illustrates the scene in “The End Of The World” where a fragmented US, the states broken down into territories, focus’s in on a Dupont Circle neighborhood in Washington, DC that is ravaged by a tank.

Started the 5th Illustration for my new book The End Of The World
In this scene a tank runs wild through downtown Washington, DC
Oh man, it’s been a month since I posted a blog
Didn’t mean to let it lapse this far! I’ve been crazy busy, what with the opening of my new shop and attending the NYC Tattoo Convention.
In the middle of it all, I managed to get out a short story for Gehenna & Hinnom books! I’ll be sure and post if that ever sees the light of day!
