Today at lunch we somehow ended up talking about what Wizards smell like. I brought up what does the inside of Gandalf’s hat smell like, & decided that Rasputin probably smelled like piss!

Before I got locked in on the style that would go on to define PORK & Dungeon Degenerates, I worked in lots of different styles & developed aesthetic languages around them, more in my 20s! As I develop a plan of attack for the future, I’m glad I’ve got this vast & diverse catalog ...

Reading the Lord of the Rings gave me a weird notion, I’m a Hobbit that relates to Orcs! I don’t know what to do with this, but it’s definitely true!

I really like 70s MOR bands that I shouldn't, probably from listening to the radio a lot with an open mind & a joint. I found it very difficult to close my heart/mind to music that I would have scoffed at previous. Anyhow, not a tremendous point here, but something worth pointing out. 2022-10-17 17:42:52 +0000 UTC View Post
When we were living in Eugene, before the kids were born & I had been working on getting it so that I could just draw all day, I drew a daily comic strip & then all the Sunday Funnies to go with them! Anyhow, here are a couple of the Sunday strips, drawing this many comics made my brain s...

Adam Cardone painted up a bunch of our DUNGEON DEGENERATES minis fantastically & positioned them on his awesome scenery, the background really adds to the effect! I love to see our minis painted, especially if they are as cool as this!

Here’s some old art from 2002. I went vegetarian again, Katie had been threatening it & I’ve been thinking about it for years, but decided against it for the sake of simplifying family meals. Now that the kids are older, less picky & know how to cook, it seemed like the perfect time! ...

I try not to be an alarmist but, we’re closer than we ever have been to nuclear war over a proxy war with Russia! I’m disappointed that people who would have been shitting themself a month ago if Trump even hinted at supplying Ukraine are totally quiet. But, this war & this warmonger pres...

This was the first ad for DUNGEON DEGENERATES in PORK 23! The image is called “Hooray For the Bad Guys!” With a lot of my work, there is this weird rooting in the way that the English, particularly Games Workshop picked up D&D from the USA & made it their own! DUNGEON DEGENERATES is m...

PORK 23 announced a Return to Fantasy with my partying Jabberwock cover. One of the ways my brain works is to put things in boxes & push those boxes around. In the case of PORK, I put Fantasy in a box & didn’t open it for 23 issues! I try to integrate all the elements in my head, but th...

Here’s an old comic that I recolored for inclusion in my Halloween Book! (coming out right after Halloween, in time for next year!) Anyhow, a big part of my impetus as an artist has been to evoke the very specific feelings I had growing up with media that was older & gave off a sense of mys...

I drew the icons for DUNGEON DEGENERATES in a chunky style that would fit their use as icons. They were converted into a font.

Here’s a piece I recolored but it didn’t end up in my a Halloween book! I like it a lot, it’s supposed to capture the childish wonder that Halloween inspires! Even though I look at the world VERY differently than when I was a kid, I try to capture that feeling in my work.

One of the things that probably helped in terms of having the stroke & losing the ability to draw like I used to is that I’ve viewed myself as hiring myself out to do my own illustration work. I guess this is a factor of having a fragmented Gemini brain. Anyhow, part of DIY is that you neve...

Some tattoo flash I did for PORK 29. One of the things that has gotten to me is having to beat the same drum over & over again. I’ve gotten used to beating my own drum all the time because it directly supports my family, but I also feel the need to beat the drum for people to not settle for...

I recolored these old drawings for use in the game Epic Spell Wars. I originally drew the Goblin/Troll/Deer Wizard for The Goblin or Binocular Rebellious more than 20 years ago. The familiar is The Shrieker that I drew for Clint Marsh more than 10 ears ago.

One of the things that I appreciate the most about this frustrating moment is that it is confirming most of my observations that I made when I really started to look at things as true. That said, Glenn Greenwald is dedicated to the truth & is one of the few journalists I trust. Michael Malice...

I really like John Blanche's work, especially his stuff from the 70s & early 80s. I feel like he really got the transition from Prog Rock to NWOBHM to Punk in a way that is rarely understood by visual artists OR musicians (or fans). If I were to provide a simple answer it would be Lemmy but.....

I suppose I am really showing my hand with this one. Back in the late 80s. finding imaginative stuff was more difficult than it is now. Finding good stuff, that's probably the same proportion. Anyhow, Games Workshop was the coolest thing for a bunch of reasons, but the central reason for me was t...

The next few issue of Die Würst will contain features on Led Zeppelin & Def Leppard, sparked by the need to define things for myself & not have them be defined by the consumptive public. Also did you know that one of the reasons why Def Leppard has their name is its similarity to Led Zep...

We started Weirdo Club to have an outlet for the more overtly Gothic tendencies of GOBLINKO. This was always tempered by Death Rock & the fact that these things came out of Punk & were once one & the same.
