(And making me a better writer in the process!)

In my efforts to avoid the real world as much as possible I don't get on socials very often.
I should try to do more, though, because @tenebrouspress.bsky.social is on fire with their releases! Can't wait to hear the upcoming audio book!

I can’t imagine a version of that movie that would be watchable. I barely made it through its normal run time…

So in what looks to be a super duper rookie move, I shouted about how I was looking for projects and didn't bother to link to a portfolio... so, here it's:

…Aaaaaand its official: I need to start drawing comics again.
If any established writers out there want a damned fine horror/sci-fi/fantasy artist to do a comic with, you know where to find me.

A page of comics showing a man and a woman sitting across from each other, then in the final panels we see they are each alone in a room seeing each other via computer, trying to go on a date during the covid lockdown

A piece i recently ran across that was done for an unreleased anthology during the covid lockdown. Beautifully conceived by Bryan Edward Hill, one of my favorite writers.

Jim Silke was an extraordinarily accomplished man, having accomplished a great many things before taking up comics in his 60s, for kicks… and redefined what it meant to be a pinup/comic book artist.
Most importantly he was incredibly kind and amazingly talented.
Rest in peace, Jim, and thanks.

In the coming 4 years (and beyond) we progressively minded folk have to shift focus and remember that truest of all sayings:
ALL politics are LOCAL.
We have to start clawing back state legislatures, mayorships, governorships, city councils, education boards.

The 90s/early 2000s are long dead my friend.
Remember being able to get on the internet and actually discover something interesting and new? It was like the Wild West for a minute.
Those were the days…
