As promised, some details on one of my big summer projects. Lawrence and I are illustrating G.D. Falksen’s next book, The Ouroboros Cycle, Book One: A Monster’s Coming Of Age Story, which will be out this fall. Here’s a glimpse at the first of my illustrations. Drawing grisly old men is kind of my new favorite thing.

I am very proud of everyone who helped make this a reality. So if you are looking for a good way to spend that Amazon gift card you just got I suggest buying the two volumes of the sound track and the book. All three together are under $30 and just over $25 so you get free shipping and also you get a lot of great art and entertainment that is timeless.
