Rather amusing no?
I hope this goes viral.
No, I didn't do it myself.
Cover for a charity book for Josh Medors. Poor guy is battling cancer, and as he works for himself, no health insurance yet plenty of medical bills to pay on top of fighting for his life. The US health care system it seems, is neither good for the health, nor actually cares about it's citizens. Please guys, vote for someone who will set up universal health care, like every other western nation has in some form, this November. Not that I mind donating and assisting people in need, but something needs to change.

Yep. It's a bat.
Been all over lately with no less than 5 people showing it to me the other day. Not least from Warrenellis.com.
And it looks cool. Yes, not all animation has to have singing dancing donkeys and be musicals aimed at people who only recently discovered that a toilet may be preferable to soiling themselves ( Though that demographic is constantly shifting upwards these days, I will give you that. )
Enjoy.
And what the hell, this one blows me away every time.
My precious arrived today.
The Third Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse TPB. ( Vol 01 going back to print, vol 02 almost sold out ) Look for Vol 03 out in a few months. This be the advance copy. Because I am special. Apparently.
Since I'm now based at IDW Publishing global headquarters, if you happen to order any book I've done off the IDW Publishing online store, from now on they should now come signed by me as well for no extra charge.
And damn, thanks to all who are picking my stuff up. Wormwood TPB just got another 2 printings. ( One is a special Sci-Fi book club edition, the other is simply because it sold out. ) Wormwood TPB volume 02 is sold out from IDW with only a few hundred left at Diamond. And it's not been out long.
Tommyrot, my art book is also sold out. ( The online store has maybe 4 left ) So it should also see a new printing shortly.
Doing a lot of stuff right now I'm excited as hell about, but alas, can't say or show what they are. Yet.
Will show some more Welcome to Hoxford stuff shortly. The rare luxury I have of having a little more time from the start of this one means I have a chance to do up decent cover work and promo stuff ( well at least to my mind! )
What he's done with the flags is brilliant. See more here.
"We started to research relevant, global, and current facts and, thus, came up with the idea to put new meanings to the colours of the flags. We used real data taken from the websites of Amnesty International and the UNO." 
It is monday. And all that that entails.
Currently up on my wall...
I warn you, this vid is nothing but swear words and naughty, nasty things.
So of course, I love it.
