Upcoming Events
Frenzied Fauna and Freaky Flora
May 12th, 2008
For years, I've been thinking of reprinting the long sold out, Frenzied Fauna: From A to Z. My vision for a new edition was always to package it with its companion, Freaky Flora: From A to Z, in one single volume.
The wait is finally over. Lo and behold: Frenzied Fauna and Freaky Flora!
When combining the two books, I wanted to make sure that the whole thing worked well as a unified entity. To achieve this, I created a new wraparound cover, a new illustrated title page and new artwork to help the general flow. I also took the opportunity to replace two illustrations from "Freaky Flora" with brand new ones (I learned after publishing the book in 2004, that "Mushrooms" and "Anemone" were not part of the "Flora").
The whole package is 64 pages in full color and retail for $20. Click here for more info.
I'm so thankful for Lulu and their excellent "print on demand" capabilities. With Lulu, anyone can make a high quality book with no upfront cost. The books are printed on demand and shipped from the printer directly to the customer. The process is very fast and the books look outstanding. Isn't that incredible? I'm totally jazzed about this.
I have so many ideas that are not in the realm of mainstream publishing and now, I have a great outlet for them.
Shadow Tattoo
May 11th, 2008
Here's another picture of a tattoo I received in an email:
Hi,
I really love your work. You have a real unique style.
About 5 years ago i had part of an illustration from The Great Shadow Migration tattooed on my arm.
People always say ''that's cool, very different'' and I tell them about where it's from and its wonderful story.

RIP Star (1997-2008)
May 8th, 2008
Today, one of our very best friends in the whole world passed away. For over ten years, Star was our constant companion. We walked together nearly everyday. She used to sleep in my studio while I worked on my various projects. Her presence was comforting beyond words for both, my wife and I.
She was the best dog anybody could ever hope for. We miss her so much.
Yet Another ZED Pinup
May 7th, 2008
This one comes from Canadian artist, Paul Rivoche.
Paul's work will be featured in the upcoming Flight 5. You can also check his blog where he's featuring some of the amazing layouts and background designs he created for the recently released "Justice League - The New Frontier" DVD.
Pinup From Tony

Check out this cool ZED pinup from Tony Cliff.
Tony is one of my Flight comrades. His stuff is so cool. In fact, his newest comic, "Delilah Dirk and the Treasure of Constantinople" is nominated for an Eisner Award.
ZED #9 Update
April 25th, 2008
These past few days, I've been busy inking and grayscaling issue #9 of ZED. It's coming along very nicely. The issue will be available on my website starting in June or July and should hit comic stores around October. Here's a panel of the work in progress.
I decided to fly down to San Diego Comic-Con to do a two-hour signing at the Flight booth on Saturday, July 26th. I'll have the new issue there, as well as a bunch of complete signed sets.

Some FX Animation
April 12th, 2008
Someone posted the "anime sequence" from Horton Hears a Who on youtube. The video starts with the trailer and at 2:50, the Anime sequence begins.
Here are some snapshots from scenes I animated on.
