Have I mentioned that I've been drawing and posting this new strip called Z-Factor? It's now up to it's 7th episode so be sure to read it from the start!

Picked up Ron Rege's book from his website here for only $10, signed and everything! Thanks Ron!

The first weeks strips of 'Z-factor' are up. Next week will see three episodes as well (mon-Wed-Fri) And here's a cover sketch for Death Ray I found whilst surfing

I've been working on a new project that I'll be launching this coming Monday called 'Z-Factor' . It's something fairly different than what you may be used of. It's kind of a pastiche/fanfiction/derivative of a certain mainstream superhero comic. Even though there are similarities I've come up with a bunch of my own ideas to make is my own thing...

We popped into the library where they have this table with a heap of old books that are discontinued from circulation.

Gotta love the art store that a few blocks from our place.
