Artist's Comments

I've been noticing people asking where the little stories for much of the art have gone, and I'll tell you. I'm currently working on a graphic novel for Penguin Dial Books. This is wonderful and fabulous and I'm terribly excited, but it also means that I have to turn out 80 comic pages of varying complexity in six weeks. And it's all cute...narrative...stuff.

I am so bloody sick of cute narrative stuff right now that I could chew through solid lead.

So the art I've been doing, as you might have noticed, is sort of...decorative. It exists to go "Hey! Cool-looking!" There is no cute little story because my cute little story gland is under contract to a large publishing house. So, until this book is done, you get fish and gold leaf.

Still, bein' me, I had to include a least a little bit of text on the piece. I imagine in this post-Nemo world that the clownfish are a little sick of being "cute."

6 x 6, mixed media, original is for sale, prints available for $10 plus shipping, send a note or visit [link] for details.

waitwaitwait- 80 PAGES in 6 weeks? That is freaking INSANE if you don't have a slew of other people working with you on it. *has way too much experience with comic page insanity*

btw- your fish are AWESOME.

I love clownfish :D

I was playing in this indoor mini-golf course that had black-lights set up, and there was a clownfish painted on the wall, except the eyes and the stripes were painted white, so they turned black when the light hit it. It looked downright demonic.

It's limited color, and they're fairly simple character designs, but...yeah, it's pretty insane, actually.

Do it; that might just be the trick to turning it into gold.
