I just finished my latest book Frenzied Fauna: From A to Z. It left for the printer 2 days ago. I posted some of the inside pages for your viewing pleasure. The book will be available on the site in about 6 weeks. It should be available in stores nationwide around March or April 2002. I will be doing a signing at Golden Apple in December (world premiere!). I'll let you know all the details later on...

I have been getting so many requests to put all my short films on DVD that I finally broke down and did it. So here it is!

See what started it all! The embryo of my animation career all packaged in one convenient DVD, with all films remastered from the best possible sources. This is what you get:

On a Good Note (1985), my very first student film.

A Touch of Deceit (1986), my second student film. Plus: In 1995, I digitally remastered the film from the original 35mm negative and added a new original score (The first version used licenced music). Both versions are on the DVD.

Prelude to Eden, an animation tour de force that took over four years to complete. The transfer was done utilizing the original 35mm negative and It's never looked better!

Plus: An interview performed by The Pod.

All of this for a measly $14.00 (postage + tax included)! Order here.

Zed #3 left for the printer yesterday and we should have copies available in about 3 - 4 weeks. The issue will be available at comic stores nationwide (as well as Canada + U.K.) in January 2002. I believe this is the strongest issue so far and I'm very proud of it. If you want to have a sneak peek at some of the inside illustrations, click here.

The sales have been coming in for the first two issues and the numbers are lower than we expected. We need your support in order to keep the series going, so, if you like Zed, please spread the word!

The other day, I received an e-mail from Sue Howison (Dark Delicacies) asking if I would be interested in participating in their new charity project, an alphabet book. My response was, sure why not! The book is called The Altruistic Alphabet and will be edited by Gomez and Morticia Howison.

Here is the concept: 26 writers were each given one letter from the alphabet. They were asked to write a verse (with a horror theme) representing that letter. Then, 26 illustrators were asked to pick one verse to illustrate. I got the verse for letter A, written by Jack Ketchum. If you want to read the verse and see what I came up with, click here.

Some of the artists who participated in the project include writers Peter Straub, Peter Atkins, F. Paul Wilson, Karen Taylor, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, and illustrators Gahan Wilson, Clive Barker, Bernie Wrightston, Jhonen Vasquez, Gak, and more!

Signing will be Dec 1st, 2001, from 2 to 4 at Dark Delicacies in Burbank, California. All profits will go to the Shriners Children's Hospital. I'll remind you when the time comes.
