Hi Bret,

Still enjoying your Plague stories. Thanks for the add. Have a great weekend.

Howdy Mr. Bret,

I'm waiting on two more stories and then we'll have an idea of the full bulk of Knock Knock. Thanks again for setting the bar so high for us with the cover!

Give me another couple weeks and we can post the project everywhere if you're cool with it?

Mr. Jordan,

May the powers that place those wonderful pictures in your head and let them flow down your arm to be 'doodle' upon paper grow stronger and sharper in the New Year.

Here's to a creative and profitable 2008! Keep those talents busy!

Hey, what's up?

Thank you for reviewing my piece, I wrote it when I moved out of my father's house just after my 16th birthday. I am glad that it conveys the emotion that inspired it.

I'm originally from Denison, but I lived pretty much all over central Texas before moving to Italy.

ALEX McVEY

I was just cruising around on the internet yesterday when I ran across a new image by Alex McVey. Of coarse it looked fantastic so I went to his MySpace pictures to see some of his other stuff. Well, I ran into a picture that I have seen at least a dozen times and it stuck in my head because I always thought that it would be perfect for the Prologue of Plague. I clicked off the screen and started thinking about how I will redraw the prologue image and that I wanted it to look something like w

Review: I am Legend

Went with the wife today to see Will Smith in I am Legend. I have the DVDs for the two other movies (The Last Man on Earth starring Vincent Price and The Omega Man starring Charleton Heston) based on Richard Matheson's fantastic book entitled I am Legend and I enjoyed this one most of all. The Last Man on Earth stayed the truest to the novel, but I found the I am

ART YOU'VE PROBABLY ALREADY SEEN BEFORE

I just got finished uploading all of my latest finished stuff here and I figured I would go ahead and post it. Most everyone has probably already seen it all, but I need to get to work on another illustration and Plague and I figured this would be an excellent way to procrastinate. I think I'm all out of excuses after this is posted. So, here it all is:

The Ritual of Fine-Tuning My Writing

Most writers I know have rituals. These run the gamut from adjusting their desks a certain way to writing by candlelight to setting a glass of perfectly innocent booze on fire before each writing project as a sacrifice to the Writing Ancestors. They may sound silly, or wasteful (perfectly good booze, after all) or unintuitive, [...]

Thanksgiving

Friends and relatives around he world sing the same song: “We don’t have Thanksgiving here.” Here is New Zealand, South Africa, England, Israel…and on and on. This year, because we are down to three of us—my guardian angel/chef and one friend who lives alone—I stopped to think about what that means.

“We don’t have [...]

In love as it is in war

I promised some friends (and students) that I would talk about how one goes about writing a successful sex scene.  There are a lot of theories about this–one school, for example,  believes that a successful sex scene should titillate. (Do they believe a successful dinner scene should make you hungry? I write my dinner scenes [...]

“genre vs literary” in the days of the Technorenaissance

1

I was hanging out in a writer’s forum and came across the age-old question of how do you define genre and literary? which always turns into genre vs literary: genre types bash the literati for lacking plot (which is absurd), while the literati bash the genre-ati for lacking everything else (equally absurd).

One person [...]
