New Books-

I've recently finished work on the two newest books. One Eyeota-A book of orphans and widows. This book collects much of the work that was edited out of the books- Chromaphile, Vernaculis, Symptomatica and Kings Of The Road. It also includes some work done for animation, toy and game design, comics and other sundry stuff from the last few years. Most of the contents have never been seen.

I also finished the first volume of The Art Of Big City. This book has few pages that were published in Symptomatica and several from the extremely limited box set Big City Case Files from a few years ago. But, mostly it's never been seen before. Here are a few pages. I've showcased the bulk of these books on Facebook. Here are some random samples.

And Go.

Boldly Go

A few pictures I snapped before loading this thing up and shipping it back. I had planned to shot a series of pictures to document the process, but as usual was running behind schedule. This one is in Las vegas. You can read more about the rest of the pieces here-

Big City Edits

Getting close to the final edit of the Big City Files trade edition. I'm cutting lots of stuff from this volume to better organize the following volumes. This one is almost all character, vehicle and prop designs. The books that follow will be storyboards, color design, script development etc. It made sense to do the books in a chronological order that mirrors the structure of story building.

Lack OF Response-

If you've emailed me in the past several months and never received a reply I apologize.
I have run into several friends over the past few weeks that have berated me for not answering email.
Mail that never got to me.
I've now made some changes to my email set-up that should ensure that I receive more if not all
legitimate mail. So fire away and again I'm sorry if I inadvertently snubbed you.

When Hell Freezes Over

I'll be signing books and whatnot this weekend in Manhattan at the New York Comic Con.
I'll be at the Baby Tattoo Books booth most of the time.
It's 80º here right now. Tomorrow in NY it's supposed to be 24º.Yeesh!

Books In The Works

I'm working on the following books for 2009-2011 release dates-

One Eyeota- A smallish book with a large portion of analog work.

Eponymonstrous- A rather large compendium type book. This will likely include work that didn't make it into previous books as well as pieces from the out of print books. It's also likely that it will include a good sampling of work done for the studios between 98-06. Photos and font/type designs. Much more of a designed book than any of the previous catalog style books like Chromaphile, Vernaculis
and Symptomatica





Big City- Finally a trade edition Big City book. This will reprint some of the work from the Big City limited edition box set as well as tons of stuff that hasn't been seen.

Monty's Book- Untitled project for Monty to go along with Got Your Nose: A True Story
and Izzy's Very Important Job



Possibly an all Halloween book and a release of the Fragmentia book that I sidelined earlier this year also.

Have A Happy

Monty says so-
