A 2012 Year-end Review! Here Are Some Of My Favorite Pieces I Created In 2012. All Of These Were Either

A little Peruvian spice gourd I have hanging in my kitchen.  A woven net goes through the holes and inside it you put spices and aromatic things to keep the room smelling nice!

Merry Christmas, little lightbulb fairy children.

ARGUS, the many-eyed demi-god, is a psychic-type mystical fighter who specializes in paralyzing her opponents with her gaze and holding them in crippling mental pain. Nearly impossible to sneak up on, she maintains a vigilant defense against physical attacks with evasive hovering, as any contact with her eye-covered body can do serious damage. The large eye on her forehead, when opened, casts a heavily destructive wide beam of light, but it forces all of Argus's other eyes closed and leaves her vulnerable for the duration. An orbiting shroud covers the eye until she needs its power. Fighters that want to take on Argus should employ blinding techniques: bright flashes of light, obstructive smoke, or sprays of ink. While impervious to attacks of willpower, physical attacks can bring Argus down easily if fighters manage to blind all of her eyes.

Okay, now come up from that deep dark pool of nerdiness...this is Argus, my submission to Jenn Woodall's latest anthology zine, FIGHT! Round 1! It features many talented illustrators the likes of Kali Ciesemier, Sam Bosma, Jimmy Giegerich, Valentin Seiche + more, and it's gonna be rad as hell.

SPX COMETH!

Check this oouuuuttt...

Here's "Ugs, Fugs and Grossos", 28 pages of ug-ass mugs, fug-ass fugs, and gross-ass grossos; and "Executioner and Friend", dungeons, dragons, and dick jokes, each by Jimmy Giegerich.

"Heroical #1" is an 11" X 14" zine by David Plunkert chock full of weirdo super hero stuff, and playfully off-beat heros.

The very exciting "Fantasy Basketball" by Sam Bosma will be in the mix as well and it's sure to be mind-blowingly good.

Alex Fine is debuting "Il Bruto", a hilarious collection of Charles Bronson pin ups in classic action movie rolls.

"Warlow's Guide to Wizards, Sorceri & Familiars Arcane" by yours truly will be there of course!

Two new comics from Haleigh Buck of Hey Boy Comics will be debuting as well: "Herman the Hot Dog" and "Internet Diarrhea", sure to be goofy-as-hell, wildly inappropriate, and full of schadenfreude.

Last but not least, Kali Ciesemier will be selling some gorgeous prints of her work that are not to be missed!

That's what we got for you guys! Come to tables M5-M8 to get your hands on it all! We'll see you there, pals.

Wicked Lady for Jenn Woodall's Moon Power zine. Always liked this bitter angsty babe.

I got to design another t-shirt for Pizza Party Printing, this time for one of my favorite moves ever: the excellent, ass-kicking valley girls vs. zombies, plus some space shit, PLUS Mary Woronov, Night of the Comet. Daddy mighta gotten you an Uzi, but you can get yourself this shirt on preorder here!

AAAAAH I really want one of those Esmereldas prints! Can I do a pre-order???

I'm psyched you like them, and I'm really sorry, but I can't do pre-orders. I have a really limited run of the poster available and it's reserved for SPX attendees :( BUT, if there's any of them left over, I will make them available for sale online, and even if there aren't any left over, I'm hoping prints might go up for sale on inPRNT maybe.

People have responded so well to my Emeraldas (♥) that it's definitely not going away. So don't you worry! Prints will be get-able at some point in the near future at some online venue.

Saturday is the opening of Q Pop's Akira Toriyama tribute show in honor of Dragon Ball's 30th Anniversary. Here's my little contribution: the two sides of Launch, a quirky character that I've always loved. Details for the event here.
