Featured Creature: I Struggle Against Fate

This piece was done in an experimental style I developed when I worked at Kinko's.  I began using it when I discovered that bright yellow generally doesn't photocopy well or at all.  Specifically, I'm talking about neon yellow, but a bright yellow sharpie will do the trick.

The Forest of Doubt

The air bleeds with the ichor of dismay.
No shelter as the light fades to a dwindling.

This is the forest of doubt,
the darkening plain,
the house of no.

A call to the sky is met with dreadful stolidity.
Even the winds refuse to blow.

Featured Creature: Krampus Head

I know I said I had nothing for Krampusnacht this year, but this little guy kept bugging me until I broke out the paper and pen.  Gruss Vom Krampus!

From the Archives: Portfolio Cover 2002



The cover to my printed portfolio for 2002.  During 1999-2004 I printed giveaway portfolios to leave with possible employers.  I was doing a lot of showing at the sci-fi convention extravaganza in Atalanta, DragonCon.

Featured Creature: The Devil in the Moon

Here we a Devil Man in the Moon and the first color piece for the Featured Creature.  I have always been fond of man in the moon images.  Here I'm combining that with a little Coop devil flavoring.

Darkness and ignorance lend the credence of fact to speculation and fear.

Delays and Acute Bronchitis

I went to the emergency room on Wednesday to get treatment for what has turned out to be Acute Bronchitis.  I've been struggling with an upper respiratory infection since the first week of this month and with the Sarcoidosis, respiratory issues can be tricky at best.  Since Thanksgiving it had taken a dramatic turn for the worse and I spent the first part of the week looking for a free clinic to assist me and found none.  I'm on the mend (I hope) and resting, but in the meantime, I've gotten behind here at Zombie Bites.  I'll try to get things caught up in the next few weeks but I ask that you bear with me in the meantime.  Thanks.

Featured Creature: Werewolf

This on is a little cartoony, but that was all I had in me at the time.  It does hearken to the kind of werewolf from the first Howling movie and the issues of Moon Knight that had Werewolf by Night in them.  I'll draw another one full figure at some point and loosen up the style.  I've always been fond of / afraid of werewolves.  This was the kind of thing lurking beneath the back porch steps waiting to grab my ankle.

Mirror of the Minotaur


Near the palace at Gnosis,
birthed of union and godly misfortune,
I keep myself at bay with a confusion of corridors.
I build a labyrinthine meander to house my savagery,
my monstrous child self.
