I hadn't noticed the column was blank either, until I was looking at small details. 👍

It really is.

I love Chiriacka's colors so much.

closer look, where you can see some of the reworking

Is very good dog.

Another Ernest Chiriacka original. My two things of note on this one are those fantastic expressions, and the guts it took to just... no illustrate that foreground column in any way. It's nothing but an online. Not colored. Not anything.

Listening to my favorite Bond-related cover song again. This one always gets me. That dang voice.

I love how often I get emails about some of my past projects from marketers who are like, "Pay us and we will SUPER promote this work! Don't let your work be forgotten!"

And then I'm like... "This is for Spider-Man or Predator or whatever. Did you think I owned this?"

The Tussle. Fleeing Indian. Faithful To None. The Floating Bedroom

Four originals by Ernest Chiriacka. I think it's amazing when artists can think / create so well in both two and three dimensions.

Ugh. Thanks for the warning. Guess I'll go play this Big Bopper machine, then.

Ah, man. I'm just trying to get a little education. Why's my language learning app gotta call me out like this?

RIP to Christopher Mills — an old-school bona fide indie comics creator who did it for the love of the medium, which is the only reason to do it in the first place. He was the kind of guy who makes artist alleys worth walking, and he'll be missed.

I only wrote about 100 comics in my so-called career, but now that I'm dying, I'm grateful that I got to do even that. Comics are such a wonderful medium, and they've always meant so much to me.
