How rare is this kind of moment these days?  The kind where you feel okay just ignoring your phone.  Let me tell you, it's AWESOME.

First watercolor I've done in months.

John Dies At The End

One of my favorite books of the past year, John Dies at the End, by David Wong (not his real name).  It perfectly blends horror, sci-fi, comedy, and the ordinary bullshit adventures of two guys living in [Undisclosed].

So of course I had to do a take on it.  Wasn't my first.  Probably won't be my last.

Trumpet, Part Deux

Yes! After a seven-month absence, I am back on the instrument kick. I'll re-do a few pieces, put them in a rough book, and send it to publishers, who will be so stunned by my brilliance, they will parade me around town in a gold sedan and shower me with confetti and strudel.

The Three!

I'm starting a new book. It's a number book, like they make for kids: "Can you count three penguins?" but for adults, or, more specifically, me. I research and explain, in what will hopefully be eloquent and near poetic prose, the history, culture, and philosophy behind all the digits, plus a few special numbers like 10, 12, 13, 23, pi, and infinity.

This was a book cover for a contest that I simply didn't have time to enter. So I finished it at my own pace.
