The last two months have been very busy. Went to the San Diego Comic Con. Simply amazing. It was great to get out of NYC for a while and to meet lots of great people, and old friends. For instance a classmate of mine from JR High! Check out her page here Maggie Loves Music. Otherwise the con really gave me the kick in the butt to start working on my graphic novel. More on that soon, but if you want to book mark the page: Blue-Revolver.com

Added four new pieces in the Ink section. The pieces were commissioned by the New York Times Book Review, Daily News, Baltimore Magazine (a spread!) and a kind of mini comic/article about Lycanthropy for Stay Free Magazine.

Hope you enjoy them. More coming soon...
