Pre-Vacation Dump

Edit: Cleaned Batman up some



Welp Next weekend I will be in Europe for 2 weeks. I hope that it will shake loose my lack of energy. ( The laxative Ive been lookin for so to speak...) Its not like Ive been posting like I used to , but I hope when I come back the creative fire will once again burn. Stay tuned.

So I leave a "goin on vacation will return soon " dump. Thanks for visiting and leavin the kind words. Enjoy. See you when I get back! Whooo hoooooooo!

Not one, not two, no - 18 great sketches. You want to accommodate us for the time of your absence, Mel.
Batman is kewl, very dynamic, but my fave is the dragon.

Europe? Hey, don't think I've forgotten lunch... we'll have to get to that when you return home. I like lunch and I like you, so that's a good combination.

Great sketches, as always, man! The pose and design of your Batman are beautifully, wonderfully delicious. Excellent!

These are all amazing, you're incredible, blah, blah blah...I tire of saying it, but it's all true.

Enjoy your trip, brother. Take a large roll of t.p., 'kay?

These are fantastic. I just posted a request on an entry from April 2007 about your 'swashbuckler' image and was wondering if I might have permission to use that as an illo for a short story going up on my zine. You'd get credit, a link, and a bio if you wish. Thanks for your consideration. Lyn from ResAliens
PS, here's the story it will go with if you agree. lgp
