Valium Time Day Is Coming Soon...
Just when I thought time could not go any faster. Holy smokes gang, its February already! In one hand time is a rocket sled on rails, on the other, it is dragging by like a heavy plow yoked to squirrels. I am not ready for the 14th at all this year. Frankly I cannot stand this holiday. But it makes me money so I should be grateful right? Anywho... I got the new Hunter Noctalis images up in the Mystic Media gallery for you Lycan fans to ogle. These are just the beginning as I got more on the way. Wet your whistle on these new critters and rest assured this is only the first batch of the lot. Click the banner below to check 'em out!

Seriously?
As if it weren't hard enough already... Sheesh! I really hate February. Worst month of the year for me. I want to crawl into a dark hole and wait out the month out in deep meditation. Chime me when it is over please. To top it off, with all the lost in space cases running amok in the world today, I can't help but wonder how the business is going to weather the economic storm rolling in. Baton down the hatches people it is going to be a rough one. I feel that with all this uncertainty, the house taking f-o-r-e-v-e-r to sell whilst we continue searching for a new home, putting the convention schedule on indefinite hiatus and my life being up in the air for so long that I am going out of my mind. I am literally crawling out of my skin to do something other than WAIT. Really wishing for this to just happen already. With 2 new images coming up the pike and book covers reaching a uncertain twist, I could really use a turn of good luck about now. Keep watching Lycan fans, the creative knob is about to be turned up to 11! Please God, I beg you, let this work out quickly for the best. *puppy eyes*

Out of the Frying Pan...
Holy smokes Lycan fans, 2012 is here. With all the commotion going on, I thought it would never get here. That being as it may, new years bring new projects so now it is a good time to open the new can of whoop arse and start putting dents into this new year already. If you haven't already seen, I have created a cover for a book called "The Rise of Sekhmet" and it features my painting of the lioness adapted for a cover treatment. You can find paperback copies at Create Space and Amazon. As well as e-books available on Nook at Barnes & Noble. With this news comes a bit of sadness for the New Year. The author of "The Rise of Sekhmet" Shannon Stoner just lost her mother on New Years day. Your purchase of a book would greatly help her to cover the unexpected costs of her mother's funeral and traveling expenses. Please, if you can, help support a great new author in her great time of need and treat yourselves to a great fantasy story to boot! Bless you for your assistance!

Into the Fire.
As if it weren't enough to be trying to get the new year off to a good start, I apparently can't pass up a great opportunity to create yet another book cover for my friend Curtis. We have another meeting with he publisher on Wednesday. God willing, that will really set the ball bouncing to getting that book published as well. So far 2012 is looking great and we have hit the new year at a sprint as far as the 'ol career is concerned. I really hope the personal life can catch up. With the house up for sale still in perpetual limbo, making any plans for the future clash in an uneasy stalemate. It looks like I shall just have to bite the bullet and just forge ahead what ever will be will be. Lets see just how fast this half baked plan will fly. Wish me luck!

Snap, Crackle, Pop.
With all the new art I have been making for my clients this past 3 months, I have reached a point where I can begin working on my backlog of ideas for my own projects. That includes finishing up the Sea dragon image and working on the new Good Vs Evil image I have brewing in the 'ol cranium. Keep a look out for it in the next month or so because when I start it, I just know it will consume me till it is finished. A treat you guys will love I'm sure. Till next time Lycan fans, stay cool and try not to drool on the furniture. Happy New Year!
