For a lot of writers, "success" means "making enough money to create full-time." For me, it means "getting solicited for a story every now and then." Hasn't happened yet, but hopefully I'll get there soon. Because man... Shaking that market tree every day is a draaaaaag.

Sometimes the whole joke is in the concept. Here's something I doodled 15 years ago or so that still gives me "the chortles" when I think about it.

I should probably invest in a scanner and start inserting text on the computer, because this whole "typing/ printing/ cutting/ pasting" thing ain't it. Otherwise, I'm (somewhat) happy with how everything is coming together.

Friends, I've come down with a touch of "the morbs" today (woke up to two-- TWO!-- rejection letters in my inbox!), so I immediately rushed to the Internet Medicine Cabinet for a dose of Lesley Gore (as Catwoman's sidekick "Pink Pussycat on TV's "Batman") to soothe my troubled heart. Enjoy!

I don't just read pervy comics and schlocky paperback monster tales. Sometimes I cozy up with a tasteful period piece to soothe my chattering brain.

Just saying, I know it's awards season and all, and not for nothing, but I'm real proud of my story "Cicada Summer," Chthonic Matter, Vol. 3, Issue 2, Summer 2025, hint hint hint.

Is Henson stuff in the public domain yet? Cuz I've been sitting on a killer idea called MUPPET RABIES for many years.

Been interesting to take characters I wrote about years ago and make them come alive visually. Sometimes they look like strangers, sometimes they look exactly how I thought they would.

Finally snagged a copy of Godzilla vs. Kansas City today (they were sold out by the time I got to the Destroy All monsters screening on Friday) and I HIGHLY recommend picking one up! All the Towercon vendors at Boulevard Brewery have them for sale today!

A bunch of gussied-up ghouls from "Homecoming Horrors," a series I painted many years ago (the only art show I was ever part of, so far)!
