Thought I would share my recent finds from Half Price Books. This place never lets me down. Check it:

• 9 old-school Dragonlance books
• 4 David Finch issues of Moon Knight
• Fathom back issue
• X-cutioner’s Song Parts 1 and 11 (unopened)
• Danger Girl Back in Black #3
• Hellblazer Annual #1
• 2 funky tiki-style Batman books
• JLA 2006 #2 with a Mike Turner cover
• And the crown jewel of this stash: Captain N the Game Master!

All for $20. Fact of the matter is that most comics aren’t really worth anything in money once you bring them home from the shop. The value is in the eyes of the owner, and to me, this collection was a steal!

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 I knew everything there was to know about Illustrator… The more I learn the more there is to learn. My latest fascination is brushes. Learning to use them is dramatically speeding up my workflow. Sweet!

Artists I’m digging at the moment:

• Stjepan Sejic – This guy is going to bring Topcow out of the gutter. His stuff takes a while to grow on you, but once it does… he’s a powerhouse.
• J. Scott Campbell – Can’t believe I never paid much attention to him before.
• Talent Caldwell – I have no idea what books he’s doing right now, but I like his toon style. I just got a sweet eBay deal on his entire Gen13 run.

Did I mention?
I’m going to be a dad… soon! My wife is due in late October. Better try to get a lot of drawing in before then.

Now you can buy select Ankhammentu prints online through DeviantArt. I’ve only set up a few images for printing so far, but if you have a request for something you’ve seen on the site, just let me know by commenting on this post.
