Why do we have winter? The truth is we wouldn’t have the lush greenery we have around here without it. I’ve been to the desert it isn’t lush. Winter is the world without its makeup on— it’s ugly, it’s harsh, cracks and wrinkles show, and to the delusional among us who hope to survive the 600 days of Winter they say its a state of mind.
Okay.
Regardless, there’s a certain feeling we get when Winter is gasping its last breath— and I’ve had that feeling for the last few days. I think we’re almost at the end.
This week I got an order from Mani-Yack-Monsters which is the brainchild of artist Jeff Carlson— if you don’t know Jeff or his work its definitely worth checking out.
He’s at Mani-yackmonster.com and he’s got quite a wide selection of stickers, magnets and iron on transfers— all fun stuff.
My good friend Nick Barruci announced a new SPACE GHOST title— I’ve always loved the character even though he’s not had much luck in comics. It’s the sleek simple design by artist Alex Toth that appeals to me.
I’ve done some cover work for Nick, I’ll see if I can wrangle a variant cover gig. Always nice to work on a property you like.
