A Distant Soil: Soulless
I’ve been serializing my A Distant Soil novella Soulless at my Patreon, and here is one of the illustrations. I’m quite happy with how it is moving along, and very happy with the response! For now, I am concentrating on A Distant Soil, finishing a long list of commissions, and taking on the occasional pinup or cover. I am also planning several new graphic novel projects one of which is in contract right now. But I have a multi-month window just for A Distant Soil work and I am keeping my head clear for it. Tying up all the loose ends of this story is very complicated!

Neil Gaiman’s SNOW, GLASS, APPLES Wins 2020 Eisner Award
I’m very happy to announce that the adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s Snow, Glass, Apples which I was honored to do for our publisher Dark Horse Comics has won the 2020 Eisner for Best Adaptation from Another Medium. I was also nominated for the Eisner for Best Penciler/Inker, but I’m extremely grateful for our Adaptation category win. So many great books and creators received nominations, and we are honored to be among them. You can read more about them here. I’m afraid I’ve had to cut back on my mail order operation due to my workload, but you can buy the book at all major bookstores, or ask for it at…

Valiant’s Doctor Mirage
Was very excited to have the opportunity to do a cover for Valiant Comics’ DOCTOR MIRAGE series. Here’s the information at Diamond Previews. Please ask for it at your comic retailer! I wrote about having a health downturn on my Patreon which slowed my progress on work for the last month or two, but I’ve had my medication adjusted and should be on an upswing soon. I really want to build some momentum on A DISTANT SOIL. I haven’t been able to for awhile. On the plus side, I’ve agreed to do a project I have wanted to do for over two decades, and have returned to work on FINALITY…

Victories. Auto-immune disorder, brain fog, and getting my life and art back.
Since late last year, I’ve been getting treatment for an auto-immune disorder, a disease which effects my endocrine system. I’ve seen a major difference in my struggles with brain fog and fatigue. After I first got my diagnosis and had a few weeks of treatment, I felt even worse. I wrote a number of posts on life hacks I’ve used with varying degrees of success in my art career, assuming the twilight awareness I experienced would be the way I would have to live forever. However, I’ve had little difficulty with brain fog over the last 60-90 days. With few exceptions, my brain is clear. I can now recall strings…
