I hope this email never finds you. I hope a single shaft of light pierces the broken ceiling, giving life to saplings and ferns. I hope the old computer went dark years ago, and the office smells of moss and wild spores. I hope that you are free.

And after darkest hours
While we endure the pain
We can watch the powers
Be reborn in flames.

If I had any power in WB/DC and I could make art-director-like choices, I'd throw a truck of money at Mike to redesign the DC Universe for the next generation. Been following him for years and he just rules at being good at redesigns and cartooning.

Been doing experimental traditional work lately, combining my halftone print work with layers of inks, paint, charcoal and more into original pieces. Really enjoying it!
The base piece for this will be in an upcoming Tolkien zine, this piece is in my studio shop - carlydraws.sumupstore.com
