Miles got into the garbage this morning.

I was really mad for about .00001 seconds.  Then I looked at his face and couldn't help but laugh and give him a hug.

the Wild West Was Here book 1...ish @ Springcon

So its official.  I have the first few copies of the book in print.  It has three stories, the Bitter Cold, ...Said the Pilgrim to the Duke, and the Mirror Universe Affair.  I'll be at Springcon here in the twin cities this weekend so swing by and get one.  I'll also have the marvel cuties buttons, a few Yul Brynner t-shirts, and old stuff like post cards and even some of the old wyatt earp books.

Stop by and get a sketch.  I hate when people charge for sketches (not commissions... I'm totally okay with $$ for those, but I don't like paying for sketches) So I'll do some sketches for free or donations or whatever.  Maybe we'll do a sketch trade.  You do a sketch for me and I'll do one for you.  Either way, come one down.

Eventually the book will be available elsewhere.  Eventually.

Earp Excerpt 19

if you look down in the bottom corner you can see the toppings for a pizza I ordered while drawing this.  That probably won't make it into the book.

Buttons are coming...

This was kind of cool

So a few years ago I illustrated a f*ck book.  It was sort of an instructional how to.  If you took the Joy of Sex and gave it a modern twist with a comic style instead of a cheesy photo approach it would be this book.  I think the book got a lot of mixed reviews and I'll be the first to admit the illustrations are not what I would I like them to have been.  Not having much to do with the book at this point I had somewhat written it off.  But recently many people directed my attention to a tweet (a twit?) by Kevin Smith.  He says something along the lines of "I'm 40 years old and I yanked it to the drawings in Sex is Fun".  Apparently he approved.  And honestly, thats good enough for me.

PS:I wonder if he caught any of the pop culture references I snuck in.  I remember the publisher made me take out a scene where He-man was getting it on with Man-at-Arms.
