Hey I’ve been nominated for a Harvey Award in the Best New Talent category for my book That Salty Air. Thanks to the people that nominated me.
Intrepideers news from two weeks ago.
June 30th, 2009The first half of The Intrepideers and the Brothers of Blood is up on TopShelf 2.0. It’s really nice to have the comic available on a site with a lot more traffic than this old rag. So, enjoy! Again if you must!
PineWood Derby Update!
June 26th, 2009I started cutting, and already made a big mistake I’ve got to work around.
For Pink Hobo’s PineWood Derby Art Car Show, August 22nd at the Pink Hobo Gallery in Minneapolis.
PineWood Derby
June 24th, 2009I’ve taken a little break from comics to work on a PineWood Derby car for the Pink Hobo’s PineWood Derby Art Car Show, August 22nd at the Pink Hobo Gallery here in Minneapolis.
As usual, I believe I may be making the project a lot harder than it needs to be, especially due to my inexperience in woodworking, but as a dear friend of mine is known to say, “Fortune favors the bold!”
I’ll document the process, and keep the blog updated with every stage of meltdown that is sure to follow.
Spring is the season of death and destruction.
June 15th, 2009I walk a lot. I walk to work everyday and take Buddy Frankenstein on walks whenever I can. I’ve noticed that this spring has yielded more animal death and carnage than any I can remember. BE WARNED, IT GETS A LITTLE GRUESOME.
My uncle and I found this beaver over near the Mississippi River.
On the way to work I see this falcon almost every day sitting in a group of large trees, which are always surrounded my gigantic piles of bird dung.
Last week after a rain storm, I found all of these bird parts at the base of the falcon’s tree.
I found this bird in a parking lot near to where I work.
New Intrepideers in the works.
June 12th, 2009For anybody who enjoyed my first Intrepideers comic I have good news. I just finished writing and roughing out the second adventure, starring the ever noble dwarf Grigori.
Here’s a sneak peek at the process.
the picture is done
May 29th, 2009Kriske’s pictures are done, check them out. I do not claim in any way to know how to use watercolor. I’m very new to it, and actually don’t do a lot of things in any color at all, which is something I need to work on. Thus I’ve jumped into watercolor.
Drawing/Painting in Progress
May 21st, 2009I guess I told Matt Kriske I’d draw something for him, so I’m doing these two wonderful works for him.
If you don’t know, it’s those bad brothers Barles and Charles Ronan finally settling the score.

Heroquest is my favorite quest of all.
May 21st, 2009So when I’m not at work or making comics, I work on painting all 8-gazillion minatures from the game Heroquest. If you don’t know what Heroquest is, you’ve got a little to learn. It’s a fun role-playing game from the early nineties, that I actually owned when I was nine, thinking it was just like a normal board game but cooler looking. (which I guess it really is) But alas my childish brain could not grasp the rulebook.
So against my best judgement I sold it at a garage sale or something, and it wasn’t until I started playing D&D a few years ago that I remembered and recognized what Heroquest really was. Thus I began a bitter ebay campaign to acquire a copy. Eventually I got one, and my life has truly been complete since doing so.
Painting miniatures is tough, and anyone who is good at it is really an amazing person.
