I am grouchy after the annoying events yesterday, so for now, have a Doctor Strange pic – another convention commission – and I will back away from the internet lest I commit an act for which I may be arrested.

The Stoic philosophers never anticipated the rigors of the internet. Alas, Marcus Aurelius! Your lessons avail me naught.

Doctor Strange always makes me feel better, though.

I’d like to draw that comic someday.

Ah, the healing power of comics!

I think I will go read one right now.

You should, too!

Feel the power! Feel the power! Feel the power of comic book love!

“Black Mermaid Celebration ” Valentine’s Day ‘Heart of Hearts’” design, featured on our Black Mermaid CafePress shop? There are 27 products in all.

It will be taken off range for 2009 at 11.59pm US Eastern Standard Time.

The Black Mermaid logo in all her website appearances has been exceptionally popular with fans to the point of having a copyright breach a few years ago. People are asking to use her on merchandise, menus, fishing ads, tattoos and even burlesque costumes. Because she is part of our corporate brand we have not given permission for anyone to use her. However, we have now responded to people’s requests to have her on a line of products by opening a CafePress shop which will see her appear in a number of different clothing, paper goods and clothing ranges in the upcoming years. The first complete range is the “Undersea Black Mermaid” range and every few months we will release a new design in the “Celebration Black Mermaid” range. The Easter design will go up next week.
