The Killer Angels
I finished up Michael Shaara's novel on the Battle of Gettysburg. Wonderful reading yet quite sad.

Book Cover Idea
Not a particularly fabulous book, but it certainly is my favorite King novel. Really wanted to play with the crow image.

Olympics Poster Idea
I was interested in producing an image that had less flash and more heart than the spiffy ones I've seen so far.
And did anyone else out there think that the opening ceremony in Beijing seemed creepy? Having tens of thousands of citizens perform like soulless cogs in a jaw-dropping pageant DID NOT uplift my spirit.

How To Write A Graphic Novel
Found this in one of my old sketchbooks. I believe I was making fun of the convoluted nature of graphic novels.

Illustration Gig
The good people at LATINO MAGAZINE had me do this one for their enlightening article about Hugo "Hugo-rilla" Chavez and his self-righteous delusions of victimhood.
You can check my Dec. 26, 2007 post to see the first illustration I did for them.

McCain Chooses Miss Congeniality
Why does choosing an obscure governor (she had the job for a shorter period of time than OBAMA HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR PREZ!) from an obscure state (have you checked out the population total of Alaska lately?) strike me as incredibly desparate? Does McCain expect me to believe Sara Palin is an EXCELLENT choice to lead the United States if he suddenly is unable to maintain the presidency? Her resume reads like a fortune cookie.
