It’s juvenile. It’s ridiculous. It’s another Lord of the Rings parody.

It stars my personal love slave Cliff Broadway as Gandalf. One of the above isn’t true.

Lord of Recycling!

Nicked this from TheONeRing.net. Most awesome geek site ever. Too funny.

By the way, I’m spending December in Middle Earth – I mean, New Zealand. Remember that vendor who owed me all that dough and paid me in collectibles? A handful of the Lord of the Rings goods are for sale on my ebay site.

The bad news is, I will probably have to get double what was paid for all this stuff to break even with what this dude owed me, but c’est la vie. I’ll make some dough and munch on lembas in Rivendell come December.

ALL my auctions end on October 10. I will post maybe one or two more things between now and then. Meant to do that days ago, but bad internet tasks me.

If you’re looking for a nifty LOTR gift, or some interesting and hard to find art from me, I’ll take your money like a dwarf on a bender.

Mae Govannen non mellon.

Unpublished Element Lad, Star Wars, A Distant Soil, Lord of the Rings

I have truly enjoyed meeting so many new art collectors, and going through my files for all these pieces. GO DIRECTLY TO MY ART SALES HERE.

Once again, all my web sales will end in a few weeks because of my travels out of the country and heavy workload. I won’t have direct sales again until March 2012 or later. We’ll see how it goes.

First up, this page of Element Lad and Shvaughn Erin sketches, which is drawn on 1985 dated DC Comics Baxter paper. It is much larger than standard comic art size. It was probably drawn around the time I worked on The Legion of Superheroes #27, but might be later, since I can never get enough E-Lad! But this is obviously very old work on very old paper, so it probably was done while working on that book.

Here, a Star Wars Widescreen Clone Wars trading card for Topps. And a quick prelim sketch which was used for the base card in Star Wars Galaxy 4. You can see the base card here (oops forgot link, FIXED)

This Elrond portrait card for The Lord of the Rings Masterpieces sold so fast via Buy It Now that I didn’t even have the chance to remove the art from the scanner before it was gone! But at least I can show it to you all here!

Never published interior page from issue 10 of the publisher zero edition of A Distant Soil. I completed this issue but walked from the company because of a creator rights dispute. So this has never seen the light of day. I rewrote and redrew the entire series at a new publisher!

Early short story work circa about 1986, “Eugenie”, originally published in Renegade Romance and then reprinted in an issue of A Distant Soil. A tribute to The Rose of Versailles, my favorite manga by Ryoko Ikeda and the work of Aubrey Beardsley. Based on a true story about cabinetmaker George Hepplewhite and his unrequited love for a young girl. Would love to do more work in this style.
