03.15.2007 - I added some pencils to the Split Lip project sketchbook.

03.07.2007 - The first chapter of Clockwork Creature has been picked up as a launch title of the brand new imprint, Ambrosia Publishing. The volume, titled Clockwork Creature: Chapter One, will include the first story originally published here and a 20-page "extra features" sketchbook. A few alterations will be made to some of my least favorite panels of the story and I'll be drawing four new pages and new cover-art specifically for the volume. Look for the book in June 2007.

In addition, Ambrosia Publishing will be launching the revamped Clockwork Creature: Chapter One as a web-comic on its own site beginning in April.

The story will remain online here in its original form in perpetuity and I'll begin posting new Chapter Two pages (beginning with the four that have been temporarily removed) in June to coincide with the release of the book.

03.06.2007 - The story I've been working on for Sam Costello's Split Lip horror anthology has been moved from a March publication back to May. I'll be regularly adding content to that story's project sketchbook over the next couple of months. Check back regularly for previews.
