Popeye preview image...

My Popeye comic continues to develop nicely. The script is coming along at a furious pace, and the character designs are all finished. I even have a finished piece of art that not only exemplifies how the book will look when it's done, but also illustrates the kind of fanciful adventures "my" Popeye will have...

My story is a prequel of sorts, set about 10 years before Popeye met the Oyl family, so he looks a little younger in my comic, with longer hair (Popeye wasn't always bald in the comic strip). Compared to the modern look of the character, my Popeye also has a longer nose and hairy forearms, like Segar's.

Oh, did I mention this project already has a publisher?

More as it happens...

A sneak peek...

Now that he's in the public domain, I'm working on a Popeye comic.


I have been waiting for this moment my whole life.

Another batch of new music...

My one-man metal band Amid the Ruins has released another EP (CLICK HERE), this time entitled "The End is Nigh." It's protest metal, plain and simple...and there was never a better time for protest metal.

Check out the "cover," featuring a classic piece by the great Albrecht Dürer...

At long last...new music!

Not that anyone was actually waiting on me to release new music. The whole "at long last" bit applies to what it's been like for me between home recording sessions. Due to technical and personal difficulties, it's been about four years since I last released new music into the world (i.e., to my 5 fans). But the drought hath ended! (That's a saying, right? Maybe?) 

Just CLICK HERE to check out the latest EP from Amid the Ruins, "Rise." It's 100% FREE! If you want to leave a tip, great. If you don't, do me a solid and at least share the link, OK? I'd like to have more than 5 fans.

Trading Cards

Lately I've been obsessed with drawing trading card art. I enjoy drawing famous characters and interpreting their iconic looks in my own style. Here's a sample of what I've drawn in the past couple weeks.


If you're interested in getting some cheap original art, I've listed some of these (and many that aren't pictured here) on eBay. Happy bidding!
