Pulpfest 2025

 Our table before we put out our product.  The Shadowed Circle did better this year than last and I sold the cover art for The Shadowed Circle #8 to a collector.  Plus, we have some BIG news.  We secured Shadowcon for next year.  That's right, Tim King and I will be organizing and hosting the convention within the convention.  I'll be posting updates as information becomes available.

Some of the cards I was doing while I sat on my arse at the table.  Sold a couple, gave a few away.  All about networking...

 I did this quick little sketch for a gentleman from Edgar Rice Burroughs publishing.  Hope abounds.

Gangland's Doom 50th Anniversary Edition: a review

 The 50th Anniversary Edition of "Gangland's Doom" was released a month or so ago.  I did the cover art for the hardbound edition and the interior art for both versions as well as a color tweak of the interior art for the back covers.  I've been a fan of The Shadow since I discovered a copy of "The Living Shadow" in a used book shop back in the early 70s.  I became aware of "Gangland's Doom" by Frank Eisgruber, Jr. in the 80s, around the time Chaykin did the whole revival and update of The Shadow.  Never did I think that I could be involved in such an historic project as this.  

  Big shout out to everyone involved from The Shadowed Circle. Steve Donoso, editor and publisher; Tim King, consulting editor and fulfillment; Steve Novak, graphic design and layout; John Sies, art direction; Sam Oatley, online engagement; Marcin Nowacki, trade paperback cover artist.

  So, allow me to smile and have a little pride in this wonderful addition to the history of The Shadow.  Click here to watch a very complimentary review of this book and my art.  (the gushing praise starts at 2:39)

 

Update to Gangland's Doom

It appears that Kickstarter allows more backers to join in even after the projects end date.  We gained two more backers and $236, bringing our total over $12K at $12,196.  I'm sure every dime will be reflected in the book.  I'll post my interior illustrations as they get completed.  For anyone interested, this cover art is only available on the hard cover editions.

Kickstarter is over... Gangland's Doom is fully funded

 

(This is only a conceptual mock up.  I have no idea what the cover will end up looking like.)

With 174 backers pledging $11,963, the 50th Anniversary edition of "Gangland's Doom" is fully funded and can accomplish all of its aims.  Thank you to everyone who contributed and we look forward to putting out a very special book.
