New Abstract: Sophia in the Throne Room of the AllBook

In the Throne room of the AllBook, 
Whispered prayers congeal into the grammar of existence.
Each character etched in its pages becomes a Life,
each written paragraph a World,
each chapter a Universe.

Sophia sings into the pages of the AllBook
and the stars alight at the touch of her breath.
Sophia sings into the pages of the AllBook
and at the end of all time collapses into nothingness.
Sophia sings into the pages of the AllBook
and within the throne room,
Sophia sings into the pages of the AllBook.

From the Archives: Vampire Hunter

Here's a vampire hunter from a story world I was developing some time ago.  In this world, most of the protagonists and antagonists were vampires.  He was to be a bit of an ass and difficult to get along with.

From the Archives: The Phalman

"Androgynous but with a high level of brute strength, the Phalman is a savage and dangerous entity.  No one knows exactly where it came from or if its species is other than human.  Some speculate that it is a demon in the form of a man, others say that is like a werewolf but in a perpetual state of madness and savagery."

Featured Creature: Prisoner of Vz

From Marge Hollander's Digest of Demons and Devils: 

The Chornoho Zabuttya, the hood of oblivion, is described in the ancient Die Tür Des Bösen as a curse of the highest order.  It is considered a Doom.  The exact method of creation of a Prisoner of Vz is unknown as there are no recorded survivors of this curse. There have been only five recorded sightings of a prisoner of Vz.

consuming even the most simple of moments
in an escalating conflagration.

The weight of understanding creates the necessity of its own strength

My Skin Crawling Comics Update

Just a quick update on my progress with the work I'm doing on the Skin Crawling Comics Anthology story, Buried.  I'm digging in deep with the coloring and learning a lot as I go.  This is my first experience with coloring comic book work to be printed.  In the past, I've done lots of print work for newspaper and some penciling and inking for comics, but this is my first opportunity to do coloring.  There are so many things to learn my brain itches...or maybe it's just time to shower.
