Here is some inspiration, from one of my favorite artists on DeviantArt, Robbi Rodriguez. He’s got a great distinctive, grungy and cartoony style. I love how his images feel so complete even without the use of much color. His work sometimes veers towards the retro/tiki genre, but it’s way better quality than most old clip [...]

Nicholson is the Better Joker
Yes, I said it! I finally saw the Dark Knight. Don’t get me wrong–it was awesome! But after reading so many rave reviews, I really thought it was going to de-throne Burton’s Batman, and it didn’t do that for me. First, though, let’s start off with some things the movie does well. Christian Bale makes [...]
Missing in Action?
Yes, I’ve been MIA for a while now. Here’s a little something I was working on when the blog blew up a few (6?) months back. The night I was going to publish it and that shout-out for Mike Turner was the night I realized my blog–along with my professional and clients sites–was hosed. That [...]
Blog Troubles
In case you didn’t notice, my webhost did a major fubar on my site last night, and they lost–quite literally–all of my MySQL databases, for this and all my other sites. Luckily I didn’t post too much so far this year, but it still sucks. I’ll be restoring things gradually, trying to place them at [...]
RIP Michael Turner
I heard late last night that Mike Turner passed away shortly after 10PM this past Friday night. He had been battling cancer for several years, but it really isn’t something that you usually thought about when you picked up a Mike Turner cover. Usually you just said “Damn, that’s cool!” And then you opened it [...]
It’s just a little shoutout, y’all…
I recently started participating in some forums over at comicbookresources.cc, and have invited my fellow geeks to check out what Joe and I are up to over here at Ankhammentu. So, I just wanted to take a brief moment and welcome everyone to our humble abode. We hope you like what you see, and if [...]
Random Updates
Hey, is anybody out there? There’s been a serious lack of postings here lately, sorry about that! I temporarily lost my inspiration… but I think it’s back now. The good news is that I’ve learned a lot of new tricks in the past few months. It blows my mind that a year ago I thought [...]

Here Goes Nothing (maybe……)
Wish us luck. Joe and I recently made the decision that we would get a submision packet together and see if there is a publishing company out there willing to make honest men out of us. What can it hurt, right? Our feelings? Not likely. We enjoy doing this comic book, and will continue to [...]
