Nice!

I put the finishing touched on a new episode to publish on Tuesday morning with someone who pencils and inks too.

You're walking, so that's a good sign.
How long until you can walk out?

I really can't wait to get this, Mahmud. I missed issue one, bought two, never found a copy of one, so I thumbed through the subsequent issues, waiting for the trade.

Can't wait to read it, so many good things said about this.

He's the greatest...

My wife and I went to the Police's LAST show of their final tour. Costello was the opening act for the the entire second half of the US tour, but for those Madison Square Garden shows, it was the B-52s.
They were great, but I so hoped he be the opening act for their final show.

This may not be the most scientific or uplifting observation, but the number of life flight helicopters landing at the hospital of college football Saturdays is much higher than summer Saturdays.

I don't crow enough about my superstar wife.
Her first solo museum exhibition opens on October, 17th at the Spartanburg Art Museum.
Here are some unlit installation images of a few of the pieces.

Thanks, Sophie. I'm SO proud of her, she's brilliant.

It's hard to show scale in these images, but the walls are nearly 14' high.

I wish you could see them in person too.

The show is called Through the Light, so shadow and material luminescence will play a big role.

Many of the larger works here missing a few of the ground elements, so I'll post pics when they're fully installed.

Lots of suspended works, and site specific pieces.

I'll also be doing remarques, 9x12 and sketch cover commissions at both shows and selling original art.

Shared.

Reference should just be that—not the underdrawing.

The pleasure was all mine, Chris.

You‘ve made a lifetime fan out of me.

It would be hard to overdue it on Jimmy. He IS the best.

I’ll try and remember to post the Spider-Man: 30th anniversary double-page pinup I drew and Jimmy inked for some Spider-Book a million years ago.
