Other Art and Goings On
You’ve probably noticed the lack of updates here over the past few months. After a busy 2012 I did plan to be less active here this year for a number of reasons. I had intended to be a bit more active than I have been though. Life happens, other projects take hold, and as often as […]

Join me on Jordan’s Journey
In the beginning this blog will be made up of extras and outtakes from and expansion upon the Jordan’s Journey book. In most cases this means the stories and images that just didn’t quite fit into the narrative or the space constraints of the book. These “extras” are no less interesting and will always tie back […]
