On Heroes, Gods, and Fairies

With the help of my dear friend Michael, I've endeavoured to start a project that will create a series of new comic covers.

Ranging from Oberon, king of the fairies, to a villain named Circus.


The last several months have been a blur of mood swings and staring at art supplies. That has changed in the past few week. I'm not sure if it's a combination of new medicines, getting more sleep, swimming, eating better, growing new friendships, or a mixture of all of the above. I just know that everything feels on track once again.

I'm beginning this series with Oberon and a Native American spirit guide I'm calling Black Hawk. Other characters are gods and other interesting fellows.


I couldn't have done this without Michael's willingness to pose for me and our mutual love of comics.

This is going to be exciting for both of us.

Silence

There are times for silence. This is one of those times. I have nothing to say outwardly; only conversations with myself.

Reflection hasn't always been easy for me but now is the time for that.

I need alone time. Silent time. I need a cabin in the woods.

I need to hear my own thoughts and write them down. Draw them out.

I need retreat.

I need silence.
