The Housekeeper out in September!!

One more little sneak peek at The Housekeeper. A story I did with Paul Magrs with colors by Rori Shapiro which will be appearing in September's issue of VWORP! VWORP! Magazine. A real top quality Doctor Who Fanzine published across the pond.

As you can see from the page, the story was a massive amount of fun to illustrate. Paul has written a story that is very out-of-the-ordinary from the usual Doctor Who type story while still maintaining what we all love about the show. And that is a sense of fun and humor.

For those unfamiliar with the term VWORP! VWORP! it's the sound the TARDIS would make when it was dematerializing in the comic strips. Which makes perfect sense to me because how else do you describe a sound which is essentially someone scraping a house key against a piano string in slow motion ;-)

Where Have You Gone by RORI

A music video I did for fun and for a surprise for my best friend Rori using the video and pictures I took of her at her gig at the Webster Underground last night as well as some pictures from past shows.

Outrageous!!

I absolutely love the old DC Comics art style from the 60's and early 70's. Especially artists like Carmine Infantino, Curt Swan, Neal Adams and Nick Cardy.

Well, singer, songwriter, fellow artist, SCAD alum and my best friend on the planet Rori Shapiro knows one of those Silver Age artists Ramona Fradon and has gotten the opportunity to color some of Ramona's comic art like the one of Aquaman you see above.

So, if you would like to own some great artwork done by two great artists be sure to click on the image above to take advantage on bidding on a signed copy of an Aquaman illustration! Signed by both Ramona and Rori!!

SOMETHING TO DO WITH VULNERABILITY
by Joshua Michael Stewart
The latest collection of poem from Joshua Michael Stewart deals with one of the most difficult parts of life, the lose of a loved one. What keeps the 37 pages of this collection fresh and interesting are the various perspectives that Stewart is able to focus on. He speaks from the vantage point of a brothers, a son, a spouse, and in one of the most pointed moments, a child. It's a book of memories, and all of the tangible ways our loved ones return in moments of stillness. It is a rummage through the closet, and it has much more than just something to do with vulnerability.
