Things have been crazy! I have a lot going on with the New Age series of graphic novels. Outside of that, I’m involved with an esoteric circle that likes to discuss metaphysics. I’m doing a lot of research with that. A few of the members are alchemy buffs, and some elements about which I’m learning [...]

Pain has kept me down for the count, but I’m happy to announce that I’ve finally recovered. I pinched my sciatic nerve. It was unbearable enough that it’s probably for the best that I didn’t make the Austin Comic-Con. I also didn’t get much done by way of designs, since it hurt to even move [...]

I’m not going to so much as wax on the politics of the Occupy Wall Street gatherings. When I look at this through an artist’s eyes, I’d love to get down there, at street level, and shoot a ton of pictures. They could be used for references for everything from peaceful protests to serious civil [...]

Well, I’ve written about the mask that I designed, which can be seen at the Benedict Bio. I explained the thought process that went into the mask’s creation. There’s no need to repeat any of that here. If anyone reading this blog hasn’t seen the mask, you can also see it 2 posts prior. The [...]

For those of you who are interested in the design of the mask, allow me to elaborate. I’ve had something of a fondness for masks, for a few years. I’ve never been terribly good at actually building them (without them being an outright disaster), however, I have drawn some successful designs. The first was for [...]

I’ve been frustrated. Are any of you familiar with writers’ block? I’m having the same thing for artists. Lately, I’ve logged more hours than I want to consider on image searches, so that I can have a realistic basis for some designs. If the designs on which I was working were people or architecture, I’d [...]

I’ve had to deal with some personal stuff, so to those who were expecting me at Comic Con, I’m sorry that I couldn’t make it. I did make it up to Illinois, so I’ll be hitting the Skokie House, a local hangout. Vil and I will also be comparing notes on some really cool things [...]

I enjoyed the comfortable, cool air, sealed tight in my office, while Vil and Maurice went to Miami. While the other guys were handing out posters and t-shirts in overripe surroundings, I was hard at work, plotting out some great scenes that will appear in each of the twins’ tales, in The New Age. I [...]

This is what it’s all about, patience. I’ve run into a few snags with the design for my latest mask, around which the people crafting it from my sketches are trying to work. Despite the problems, I’m expecting the mask to be completed, soon. Other than that, I’ve also been busy with some personal matters, [...]

I’ve been busy working on my mask designs, and my own work on The New Age meant that I really couldn’t take the time to travel. From what I hear, the Big Apple ComicCon was a huge success. When I finally pop up at one of these conventions, I’ll be donning at least one of [...]
