I did this one a while ago, but it was never posted and I needed an excuse to contribute to Ramón’s new blog, ‘She’s My Kind of Girl‘.

From the Wired Interview:
Moore: …I would have thought, particularly in the current climate, where the world economy does seem to be circling the drain, we might have to start thinking about handling our culture differently. We might have to be more conservative in throwing these huge amounts of money at our movie directors, at our actors, at our sports heroes, or, hey, our comic book writers.
Although we’re not that guilty. We don’t really get the same as the sports heroes or movie stars it has to be said. We might have to start rethinking all this. Is it really worth spending all that money? Wasting all those resources? I mean, $100 million, that would pretty much sort out the horrifying flood damage in Haiti. I heard that figure quoted the other day. We might have to start rearranging our priorities and not just trying to anesthetize ourselves with endless television shows and movies because we’re bored with our lives in the filthy rich Western world. We might have to change our priorities a little bit. If we are going to spend our money upon film, then let’s start valuing the people that produce wonderful things with very little to go on. Let’s stop being so childishly awed by what are essentially fireworks displays.
Most films that I see it seems that the level of criticism that they are expecting is on the level of a fireworks display. It’s ooh and ah. Those seem to be the only responses that are appropriate to most modern films. I think we’re in for a period of cultural revaluation. I certainly hope that’s true, because I think if we’re not, we’re in for a period of cultural damnation. I think that we’re fairly evidently heading to hell in a hand basket, and we have got to change our priorities. We’ve got to rethink this entire thing, and I think that rethinking our culture may be a part of that. I certainly hope so.

I just found this while rummaging through some artwork. It’s a Resident Evil pin-up I did for Wildstorm last year as a showcase piece for Capcom. I was a big RE fan back when the first two games came out, and I recently picked up RE4 for the Wii, which was pretty good. They seem to be getting away from the traditional concept of zombies, though, and that makes me sad.
Fingers crossed for #5!

It was dark in the bar, but I managed to capture a shot of the much-hyped karaoke showdown between DC’s Kwanza Johnson and Cameron Stewart on the last night of NYCC.
It was tough to call a winner here, especially since both contestants were humbled by the out-of-nowhere rendition of Queen’s ‘Somebody to Love’ by a local ringer.
I’m sure the trash-talking will begin soon for next year’s rematch.

I did this piece as a Christmas gift for a friend. It’s based on a book she read to me on a very cold night, called ‘Old Turtle and the Broken Truth’, which was written by Douglas Wood and wonderfully illustrated by Jon J. Muth.

It’s the first show of the new year!
I’ll be driving a rental car down from Montréal to attend the New York Comicon from February 6th – 8th! If you’re in or around the area, please come by and say hello. I’ll be doing sketches, selling Abominable Charles Christopher T-Shirts and prints and giving away stickers.
And probably wandering around a lot. Hey, it’s New York! Even the frigid winter weather can’t keep me from exploring Manhattan.
I’ll also be sharing table space with Cameron Stewart, compatriot and author of Sin Titulo. And if we’re really lucky, Ramón Pérez and Andy Belanger might loiter around long enough to sketch something. That’s half of txcomics right there!
UPDATE: Here’s a map of where I’ll be!

I’ve got two commissions left to finish and then I’m finally caught up with the backlog! It’s taken me forever to find the time to get these things done, and I can’t apologize enough to the patient folks who have been waiting for them. I’m not going to take on any more commissions for a while, but maybe once Zombistas is wrapped I’ll do the odd piece and post it here for sale.

I just did an interview with Dave Kellett for the newly-relaunched Webcomics.com, in which I discuss The Abominable Charles Christopher and the world of webcomics in general.
It’s a bit of insight into my process of creating the strip, which, when I describe it, always sounds a lot more spiritual than technical.
I think that’s accurate. I never think of ‘drawing’ when I think about the comic; I think about ‘feeling’. I won’t even start a new strip until an idea makes my heart flutter in some way.
