In a lifetime of paying attention to my dreams, I’ve often had the feeling that, somehow, dreaming speaks to us from somewhere outside time and space; perhaps even having a hand in forming future events. This 2003 dream, captured by marker in sketchbook, shows what I mean.

And another!

Another retro character design for Alan Moore’s take on the Awesome Universe. I think Gil Kane ended up drawing the actual story this guy appeared in. Pen and ink on bristol board, 1998.

Lots of maple trees in my part of the world. Marker in sketchbook. 2004.

Another portrait of me from the hand of Paul Pope. Marker in sketchbook.

Meet Jim Peterson, who liked my cover to RARE BIT FIENDS #4 so much he had it tattooed on his head. The face-in-the-butterfly illustration was also used as the cover to my recently published SHINY BEASTS. Just click on the blinky covers over there on the right for a comparison.

Hero Comics #18 (in which I destroyed the earth and sent my hero, R-Man, on an extended journey in outer space). Pencil on typing paper. 1967

On my drawing board right now is a six pager by Harvey Pekar for SMITH MAGAZINE. It’s for a series they are doing called “Next Door Neighbor” edited by Dean Haspiel with lots of writers and artists contributing. Not sure when mine and Harvey’s part is scheduled to run but I’m hearing the series starts Tuesday.
