MEANWHILE, IN PROTECTORATE THETA...
Fourth Classman Baxter had no love for the Burnager Project. It leaned on the theory of theocratic anarchy, but it was the only game in town....for now. And his father HAD to get in the middle of it....

One Trip Arond the Sun Later.....
Hey y'all! It's a year to the day since I posted my first big hello to the blogship. Over 500 posts later and I've come to the conclusion that the Post-Cox and Forkum Era wasn't about apathy and regret. Quite the opposite! It's been wildly entertaining getting to know (and meet!) you guys. The fact there seems to be a tight little group of viewers who dig the ricochet nature of this site has been very, very heart-warming. Many, many thanks.
Keep those comments coming and let's do another round, eh?

This was a fun read. Espionage and such. I've had this idea of using my photos of reference material and an actual chess board I designed. A little Photoshop....TA DAAH!

A Big "WELCOME!" to My Friend, Steve McAfee
Go vist http://thephantomdarkroom.blogspot.com/ and be uttlerly astounded by the talent and vision of illustrator/photographer Steve McAfee. We've been close friends for about 16 years and I've always been amazed by the variety of images and aesthetics he displays. I'm sure he'll be putting up something new almost daily.
Pay close attention to how he layers images upon images.

Book Cover Idea
I did another fantasy illustration of one of my favorite books. Poignant and bitterly funny, this was published in 1969, so it is rife with "free love" and what a pain in the ass it is.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MEL!
Today, my favorite film comedian/auteur turned 82. He happens to have written, directed and acted in my all-time favorite comedy, "Blazing Saddles" and I owe him many thanks for cracking me up for so may years.
"Look, I don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive you've got to flap your arms and legs, you've got to jump around a lot, for life is the very opposite of death, and therefore you must at very least think noisy and colorfully, or you're not alive."
Mel Brooks
CD Cover Idea
Released in "85, this is my favorite Tom Waits album and I thought I'd bring up to date with my style of photoshop design.
