It Calls...

Alrighty folks. I've been uber-pumped to be working on Cthulhu so I threw together the first real ad for it last night. It's short but it makes me giddy with anticipation. *GLEE* Enjoy.

P.S. You guys should totally check out this Cthulhu film from a couple years ago that will totally blow you freaking mind. The Call of the Cthulhu film.

N. Frank Daniels is My Homeboy III

Hey all,

I failed to mention something big that has happened to me. This is for several reasons. Reason #1: I haven't actually been allowed to talk about it until very recently. Reason #2: I've been pretty goddamned busy. So here it is...

My good buddy, N. Frank Daniels' first novel futureproof was picked up by Harper Perennial, an imprint of Harper Collins (you know, that huge-ass, international publisher). And the good Mr. Daniels asked yours truly to contribute the cover art for the novel. Being a fan of futureproof I was floored and honored. Of course, Harper can veto my art at a whim so it's technically not definite. But when Frank and I get something together I will post it here and keep you all posted as to how it pans out.

I just wanted to share the good news with you all, so that's all for now. Take care.

P.S. You should all visit Frank's MySpace: www.myspace.com/nfrankdaniels to find out more about him and futureproof.

Aw, crap...

Here's the full costume as I've been teasing with everyone with the pics of The Right Hand of Doom. Hope everyone had an awesome Halloween.

Searching for a Former Clarity...

Okay, so I'll give you folks a bit of a forewarning. This isn't technically an art post or announcement post or anything like that. However, I felt it was still relevant to the creative process so I'm posting it.

Earlier this evening I talked to a friend of mine whom I haven't talked to in over a month. Now for him and I, that is a very long time as we used to live only a few blocks away from one another and hang out several times a week. And at least once a week, we'd have a long in-depth conversation regarding whatever was going on in our lives.

Today I realized how important those conversations were. They help me clear my mind of all the bullshit that clogs up the brain meats. They give me focus and clarity. Whether it's expelling stupid random information or deep philosophical ideas, our conversations always leave me feeling mentally refreshed and ready to get back to it.

Today for example, we discussed that sometimes it's important to do things that we wouldn't normally do so that we can at least attempt to do the things that we love in the future. For my friend it's going back to school and eventually going to grad school. For me it's working a shitty job on top of doing art work to pay my bills... (art alone does not put food on the table and keep the lights on... not yet, at least.) But it was good to have that conversation and to remind myself of why I'm living my life the way I am right now.

So now I'm feeling much better and much more motivated. So here we go... back into the game.

Hidden in His Coat is a Red Right Hand...

So as you can probably guess at this point that for Halloween I'm going to be Mike Mignola's big red paranormal investigator: Hellboy. I built The Right Hand of Doom from styrofoam pieces I bought at A.C. Moore and a hot glue gun (plus some Colonial Red spray paint.) This has more or less been a pretty big project for me for that last couple of weeks. I made the hand, made my own horns, am sprucing up a horse shoe, and a toy gun. I should make a pretty badass Big Red (or so I like to think.) I'll post pictures from the All Hallows festivities coming up.

Call of the Cthulhu

Hey folks,

I've got some big news for you folks. Some of you may have noticed that I've delved back into the works of horror/sci-fi genius H.P. Lovecraft yet again with the recent t-shirt designs and such. I've been re-reading some of his more notable tales especially stuff pertaining to The Cthulhu Mythos. This is because I found out the good Mister Lovecraft's works are entering the public domain as of January 1, 2008. So I've decided to adapt Call of the Cthulhu for comics. Now it won't be a direct adaptation as I don't think the story works as well in the comics media, so I'm going to make it a bit more adventure oriented while still attempting to maintain the sheer terror and suspense of the original. It'll probably turn into a 3 or 4 issue mini-series that I'm simply going to call Cthulhu. Well I'll leave that for you folks to roll over in your brains for awhile. I'm not going to even discuss release dates or anything simply because it's really still in the development stages; especially with me still drawing the first arc of The Red Eye and still scripting Pulp: The Old Kingdom.

Well adios for now folks.
