Voluntarily Obligatory June Post

The collective 'they' can't make me do it. But I'm perfectly willing to. Voluntarily of course. Especially after persistent, inventive & highly unorthodox 'suggesting'. My 'suggesting' has never involved a red-hot poker, fire ants & a bicycle pump. But then 'they' are working at least a little bit out of the box commonly labeled 'normal'. Arial. Bold. Red. On with the show...

Bulleted reminder type items:

  • Orange Alert Press is putting the finishing touches on Sunlight at Midnight, Darkness at Noon. The completely-sold-out, hand-assembled hardcover editions are looking AWESOME! See for yourself here. Order a paperback copy today. They won't last forever. Cover art by yours truly. No, the other one. Yes, me. Gosh. Sigh.


  • Sebastien Doubinsky's The Babylonian Trilogy is ready to ship. Order either edition from the PS Publishing site here. It's an AMAZING read! Unlike anything you have EVER read. Weird & wonderful! Order your copy today! Cover art by I furry Grover.


  • Tore down my portion of the May show at Instinct Gallery (downtown Des Moines). Big fuzzy thanks to Michelle Holley for letting me hang my odd two-dimensional friends! Had a blast! Ended up selling 2 pieces. Didn't expect to sell a one, so 2 is FABULOUS! Originally hung 17 pieces, & by my mediocre math selling 2 leaves me with, um, 15. Phew! Math is hard! Here they are... most of them anyway:

    Sea Hag
    Robot Zombie
    These 3 Words
    3 Muscle Men
    Batman Broken Bling
    Lobster Jesus
    Fruit Stripe 8
    Frog Man
    Eat the Flintstones
    Self Portrait as Demon
    The Babylonian Trilogy

  • And finally, I received the BEST news in the world... BUT... I can't share it with you all yet. Shit & shucks, because it is filled to the tippy top with awesome-ness! Can't wait to share, but I absolutely hafta. Sorry. Will when I'm able. Promise. Rules are hard too. Sigh.


  • That's all for now. Thanks for playing. Be good to each other. Don't litter. Seriously. And only YOU can prevent forest fires. Just you. Without any help from anybody else. Ever. Grab a shovel & a REALLY long fire hose. Good luck!

    thanks for the mention...seriously, when you get your presentation copy, you're gonna cry.

    you'll need to buy a clamshell to keep the clamshell in.

    plus, all the rest. thanks for your major contribution to the quality of this motherfucker.

    Congrats on your sales at Instinct, it was a great show.

    I'm holding my breath until I hear your super-top-secret news. The world is starting to go a little dark, but that's ok. Really.
