There would have been dinosaurs but we didn’t get that far. These pages were done back in 2013 for a proposed graphic novel.
Billi 99 was first published as miniseries in 1991. A collected edition was printed in 2002. The series was written by Sarah Byam and illustrated by Tim Sale.
Corporate owned superheroes have had more fan art created of them than their soulless masters would ever be able to pay for. As far as I can tell, this is the first fan art ever done of Billi. I’m a pioneer.
I’m making a few adjustments to this website. Finally. Today’s changes were simple – I’ve moved the Daughter of Spiders and Newsletters banner links. They are now subpages under the Miscellania drop down menu.
They don’t like you. They don’t like anyone.
You’d think that teenagers would learn to stay away from places where they are regularly killed and eaten. 
It’s been a busy last couple months. I’ve been doing illustrations for two successful Kickstarters.
The first – Horrors of War – is a collection of Call of Cthulhu scenarios written by Adam Scott Glancy set during World War One. That one funded back in 2014. I originally contributed an illustration to the original Kickstarter video and illustrations to one of the scenarios. After that my life got too complicated for me to commit to meeting deadlines. Mr. Glancy’s life got complicated as well and work on the project stalled.
Things have simplified for me, enough that when he contacted me earlier this year I was able to happily commit to illustrating two more scenarios and a series of general illustrations for the book. The plan is to have the project done by 11/11/2018. I expect to have my parts done well before that.
At about the same time Oscar Rios of Golden Goblin Press let me know that things were a go for Cathulhu Kickstarter. That campaign ran from June 29th to July 29th and successfully overfunded. One of the successfully met stretch goals was to have a PDF of the illustrated edition of Tails of Terror available for October. That meant I needed to complete sixteen illustrations in August.
I turned in the last one this morning.
I’ve got lots of work yet to complete on both projects but I thought I’d take a moment to breathe and update this website. Cheers y’all!
King Mantis stands about twenty feet tall. That makes the critter that it is sitting upon … much, much larger.
According to Wikipedia: The Face first appeared in the Columbia Comics omnibus title Big Shot Comics #1 (May 1940) and continued until issue #62 (January 1946). The Face is radio announcer Tony Trent, who decides to fight crime after having witnessed a murder committed by gangsters disguised as cops. Having no innate superpowers, he instead uses a frightful mask to scare criminals, not unlike Batman. With issue #63, he no longer wears the mask and fights crime as himself until Big Shot #104, the last issue of the series.
Assuming that The Face appeared in every issue, that means there were at least 62 stories about the character. I find that mystifying. And therefore fascinating. I did an illustration a while back that featured The Face. I took some liberties with the character’s design and made his mask uglier than its original design. I took liberties again with this new version.
I drew this image earlier this year for a birthday card for my big sister. She’s taking college courses on being a professional chef. She’s not interested in working as a chef. She loves to learn and loves to cook and so she’s having a great, if exhausting, time.
This image was the first time I tried making a gif. I’ve always enjoyed seeing other people’s art processes. Showing that process as a gif makes the evolution of a picture, from rough sketch to final art, look sort of magic.
