kingtrash: I was hired to draw this cover for this upcoming The Sleep of Reason anthology. It features buddies like Emily Carroll, Gabby Schulz, and many others, and is also one of the rare indie anthologies that actually pays its contributors (although typing it out now, it is a little depressing that indie anthologies treating their contributors ethically is not just, like, the norm? Anyway, I am very eager and happy to support editors and publishers making good choices like that.) Soon, y’all. Although I feel I should mention that, unfortunately, Emily had to bow out due to time constraints. The lineup is still god level, though. You’ll see.

Don’t mind me, just posting more art from The Sleep of Reason, the horror anthology project I’ve been coordinating since 2012 and scheduled to Kickstart in June. This is just a panel from I Want to Wake Up, the submission by writer Greg Stolze and artist Langdon Foss. Which, by the way, had the distinction of being the very first submission to be completely finished. Surest, quickest way to an editor’s heart, folks.

octokiss: I haven’t been posting too much lately because I’ve been working on my submission for the Sleep of Reason anthology! I’m pretty sure Spike is gonna kickstart it next month (June). I’ll have a few more teasers to show you closer to that date, but for now, I’m just focusing on getting this sucker done! Based on what I’ve seen of everyone’s sketches, and the work of the other contributors, I’m basically positive this is gonna be the coolest dang anthology. I’d buy it, if I weren’t already in it. Hell, maybe I’ll buy it anyway. Oh hey look, another great-lookin’ horror comic from my next anthology.

bluedelliquanti: Here are some concept designs for the characters in my Sleep of Reason comic! A few details to be tweaked but they’re more or less the way I want them. It’ll be fun to draw with a style of line that’s super different from O Human Star - I wanted something that evokes a lot of texture and grime. One last Sleep of Reason repost. This project is the one that’s been eating all my time, lately. It’s pretty satisfying to watch it come to fruition.

Alright! SO. I am going to be one of the participating artists doing a comic for The Sleep of Reason 

This is a first pass at designs for the two little girls in the comic I’ll be doing. I think I want to make the left girl’s skin a bit darker in the future - I noticed a little too late to edit it this time around - but notes for myself for next time.

Again, just a first pass at ideas for their designs.

Pencil sketch, toning in FireAlpaca.

Don’t mind me, just reblogging teasers for my next anthology, a horror collection entitled The Sleep of Reason.

I am super, super pleased Savannah’s gonna have a story in it.

Ho-lee crap we did it. We fuckin’ did it. Folks, a couple of weeks ago, I asked you to vote for my two 2012 projects in the Stumptown Comics Arts Awards. Poorcraft was nominated in the Best Small Press category, and Smut Peddler was nominated in the Best Anthology category, beside books put out by the likes of Fantagraphics and Dark Horse. I honestly didn’t think I had a chance. And y’know what? Dark Horse books pretty much swept every category they were nominated in. Except one. “Best Anthology.” The one with Smut Peddler in it. Thanks to YOUR VOTES, dirty, filthy porno took home the trophy last Saturday night. And I just couldn’t be more grateful. I owe my little monster awards to every single one of you that took a moment out of your day to give me a quick internet backslap by way of a Stumptown vote. I didn’t win either of these awards alone; not without a lot of amazing artists, and not without a lot of votes. Thanks, everybody. I’m gonna get back to work.
