Watching DC’S Legends of Tomorrow Season 1 inspired me to dig into the DC comic archives and revisit some of the characters’ histories. If you read comics for any length of time you’ll understand that characters change dramatically, and it’s easy to lose track of their origins and primary motivations. Of course, it’s easy to […]
The book signing season is upon me, that is to say, I have two new books and one 2nd edition, all heading out to public events within the next month or so. Tonight, I was at the Author’s Night at the Lewis County Museum in Chehalis. This was the second outing for Our George Washington […]

I’m very old school. Back in the day you never shared preliminary, or unfinished book artwork. Your art director or book publisher simply wouldn’t allow it. Today, of course, things are different.
