Kriske’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.
I 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.

So 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.
I got a copy of Kevin Cannon’s Far Arden on Friday. It was a very pleasant surprise in my mailbox after a long hard day of work. I must say, Kevin and those wonderful guys at Top Shelf Comix did an amazing job on this hardcover comics extravaganza! I said this before, but I’ll say it again, I think this book’s gonna blow up this summer, so get them while they last. I know Kevin is going to be at a lot of conventions this summer, so say hi to him and make him sign your copy of this lovely little number.
Brett Von Schlosser and I printed up our Intrepideers comics for TCAF a few weeks ago. We only made a few copies for the show, so we’ll probably have to reprint them soon. If you want one, they should be at BigBrain Comics in Minneapolis, and I think the Beguiling in Toronto has a few copies, or let me know, and I’ll see what I can do.
At TCAF last week I got interviewed for Comixology’s It Came Out on Wednesday podcast, take a listen here:

(Correction: In the podcast I state that my mother passed away in October of 2005, when I should have said 2004. Believe it or not, that’s the second time I’ve made that mistake in an interview situation)
