sometimes I get weird comments/backhanded compliments about it (not this one!) but I've been doing it pretty consistently for the past couple years - and it is a huge relief because it's the only steady work I get now. most outlets are not champing at the bit to commission the kind of writing I do

Am I hallucinating or have you been contributing a TON of stuff to various collections/releases/etc. lately? Because it absolutely rules and I really hope this does mean you're getting recognized for your work more and more!

here's another throwback from 2016 a private poster commission inspired by Moby Dick honestly still really love this one, both the concept and execution i worked on pre-inked scratchboard for this one (so fully black) instead of the usual white claybord that i ink myself 30x40cm

a black and white scratchboard illustration inspired by Mody Dick. It depicts a giant white whale about to collide with a whaling ship. The scene is viewed from a bird's eye view, high above the scene. Seagulls are seen orbiting around the scene. The ship and the whale create waves in the water that reinforce the tension between them.

Even if it was solely LHO, who knew what, who was aware, and were any other actors involved at any point re: the JFK assassination. The full picture. Also whatever the heck happened to those guys who got off Alcatraz in ‘62. Although I have theories:

What's your personal great white whale of an unsolved mystery? The thing you desperately hope is solved before you die because you need to know the answer? Mine is the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum heist. Where the hell are the Rembrandts. I need the full story
