…well half the cover. it’s a wrap around, by why spoil the whole surprise…

when i first started freelancing as an illustrator i began my career by doodling up pictures for roleplaying games. the bloke who gave me my first job was kevin siembieda of palladium books, creator of the rifts® universe! as my years progressed with palladium i proposed a comic idea for their quarterly publication the rifter®. he liked the idea and gave it the go ahead.

on may 4-6 i will be attending the palladium open house taking place at their offices in taylor michigan. i will be doing sketches, hocking bns swag and happily signing copies of the newly collected ‘machinations of doom’, a sourcebook collecting the comic from 7 years ago into one book.

the entire story has been relettered, i’ve touched up some of the pages and added a slew of original art into the sourcebook section where kevin has gone in and fleshed out the main cast based on my notes. i’ve also done a new cover for the collection and layed out the entire book myself. it’s been a busy month!

if you can’t make it out to the show the book will be available through better games and comic stores as well as barnes and noble.

this is a piece that’s been sitting on my drawing board for about 2yrs now! i finally finished colouring it up a few weeks back. it was done as a pin-up for b. clay moore’s series hawaiian dick. it never made it into the series as i was too busy to wrap it up at the time. it may appear in a collection one day - till then you can peruse it here.

speaking of clay, there be more news involving him next week!
