The Huffington Post published an article about The Comic Book Story of Beer with an 11 page preview from Chapter One (following the introductory chapter). Check it out HERE!
Time to celebrate Jack “King” Kirby’s birthday with Wake Up and Draw…and Waffles! It’s always fun to see a blast of sketches appearing across the internet every August 28th. The drawings are auctioned off to benefit the Hero Initiative. Here’s a link to a bunch of the drawings on comicartfans.com
Summer’s winding down, and I guess that means it’s time for me to start blogging again. The Comic Book Story of Beer comes out in just over a month (Sept. 22nd) and we have NPR to thank for letting people know about it. Check out this article/interview by Alastair Bland: Guzzling 9,000 Years Of History With ‘The Comic Book Story Of Beer’

Tomorrow I’ll be heading to New York to enjoy the city and attend Special Edition NYC June 6th and 7th. I’ll have books, original art, and prints, as well as a galley of The Comic Book Story of Beer! I’m hoping to meet many a beer enthusiast and perhaps gather some preorders for the book. If you want some additional info on the book, please check out the website thecomicbookstoryofbeer.com.
Below is an image of “The Crustacean Agent” that I created specifically for Special Edition NY to be used as badge art:
Here’s a Robot 6 article with a couple other images for badges created by folks from Periscope Studio.
The Crustacean Agent originally appeared in the Monsters & Dames 2015 Art Book (see below). The ECCC exclusive is currently sold out, but I’ll have a few prints available in NY. Hope to see you there!
The Elder Scrolls Online: Tales of Tamriel Book I: The Land is currently available and I spotted a copy or two at Powell’s on Burnside the other day. I have a number of illustrations included and it’s a handsomely designed hardcover from Titan Books. This book is sure to be appealing to anyone gearing up for the release of the video game Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited available June 9th. Book II: The Lore will be out in September of this year and I’ll post more of my illustrations when that book is released.
Some stories just don’t get old..
May the Fourth be with you! (I added these to a Tumblr account that I started recently.)
And the original versions:
Lee Moyer reworked one of my drawings from 13 True Ways and turned it into something entirely unique for the cover of the first issue of 13th Age Monthly. Click on the image to be redirected to Pelgrane Press for subscription information. 
Also, for your consideration, a kickstarter for a novel set in the 13th Age universe written by Greg Stolze. Find out how to contribute to The Forgotten Monk.
