hello sir! Very impressed with your comic art, its a breathe of professionalism on deviant art. Your work reminds me a lot of Michael Zulli, or even of Bernie Wrightson. I very much admire your attention to detail and sense of pacing on the page.

What are your plans for printing crescent magic?

Thanks! I'm a big fan of both Zulli and Wrightson.

As for CRESCENT CITY MAGICK... it's an open question. I've been submitting to publishers, some have replied (with the sort of bland negative response that makes one wonder if they even looked at it...) and some, I'm still waiting on... An acquaintance who self-publishes offered to help, but now seems to have his hands full, with his own book.

If worst comes... I'll put the fully lettered version up on a webcomic site, where anyone can read it. I have friends who have done that, followed by a P.O.D collection. I'll have to bend their ear to figure out the details. Thanks for wishing me luck - - I might get to talk in person with publishers soon, at Detroit Fanfare.

Your work is awesome. Love the linework and the old prints inking style. Reminds of great masters of old and their illustrations of some of my childhood preferred readings such as Verne, Salgari and Burroughs.

Thanks, Tom! I'm a huge fan of old-time illustrators and learned a lot studying their techniques.

Nice gallery. Your stuff has a classic feel to it. Reminds me of some of my favourite artists mixed in with your own unique style. I feel BWS, Neal Adams, Buscema flowing throw you work. Its awsome. More please. Off to visit your website to see what else I can find.
