So back at the CAPE convention I had the honor of meeting with and talking to Robert Kirkman, writer and comic creator extraordinaire. He’s behind The Walking Dead, invincible and the Astounding Wolf-Man.
So after chatting him up like all the fanboys do me and my boy Evan slipped him some artwork and our cards, and he told us to email him. A few days later he asked us if we would like to contribute pin-ups for his Wolf-Man book, and we both jumped at the chance.
So the Astounding Wolf-Man 7 came out today, with our pinups inside!
There’s mine (I almost pooped my pants in the store!)
And Evan’s..
And there’s the awesome plug he hooked us up with!
It marks the first thing I’ve had published by a “major” publisher, not to mention it’s IMAGE COMICS, the brand I grew up reading and emulating. Hopefully it’s only one of the many opportunities to come.
So go to your local funnybook store and grab a copy of Astounding Wolf-Man 7! Like, Now! Cuz I’m totally gonna’ be famous someday! =P
And for my next project:: Marvel Masterpiece III Sketchcards.

This weekend is Wizard World Texas here in Dallas, the largest comic book and pop culture show in the lone star state!! There’ll be everything from celebrities to comics and games, panel discussions and an artist’s alley full of talented creators…
While you’re there stop by Table 2140 in Artist’s Alley and say hello as I attend my first con as an artist/creator!
I’ll have:
18 different prints to chose from, in sizes ranging from 4×6 to 13×19, printed on archival quality photo stock!
New Copies of my first published work Weird West for sale in the Evolution Anthology (only $3!)
A portfolio of original artwork for sale!
I’ll also be working on sketches and commission so swing by to get something made just for you!
I’ll be chained to my table with the Space Gun Kru all weekend, so come in, stop by, pick up a business card and get yourself some cool art.
There is also an awesome live art show going down Friday night at the ballpark I believe.
So come on out and let your comic book/sci-fi/roll playing/cosplay/furry loving/uber geek come out and play, I’ll see you there!
Here’s the link to the official government document.
Here is the quoted text, with emphasis added.
High level contamination by natural and industrial sources of the alkali earth metal, barium (Ba) has been identified in the ecosystems/workplaces that are associated with high incidence clustering of multiple sclerosis (MS) and other neurodegenerative diseases such as the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Analyses of ecosystems supporting the most renowned MS clusters in Saskatchewan, Sardinia, Massachusetts, Colorado, Guam, NE Scotland demonstrated consistently elevated levels of Ba in soils (mean: 1428 ppm) and vegetation (mean: 74 ppm) in relation to mean levels of 345 and 19 ppm recorded in MS-free regions adjoining. The high levels of Ba stemmed from local quarrying for Ba ores and/or use of Ba in paper/foundry/welding/textile/oil and gas well related industries, as well as from the use of Ba as an atmospheric aerosol spray for enhancing/refracting the signalling of radio/radar waves along military jet flight paths, missile test ranges, etc. It is proposed that chronic contamination of the biosystem with the reactive types of Ba salts can initiate the pathogenesis of MS; due to the conjugation of Ba with free sulphate, which subsequently deprives the endogenous sulphated proteoglycan molecules (heparan sulfates) of their sulphate co partner, thereby disrupting synthesis of S-proteoglycans and their crucial role in the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signalling which induces oligodendrocyte progenitors to maintain the growth and structural integrity of the myelin sheath. Loss of S-proteoglycan activity explains other key facets of MS pathogenesis; such as the aggregation of platelets and the proliferation of superoxide generated oxidative stress. Ba intoxications disturb the sodium-potassium ion pump–another key feature of the MS profile. The co-clustering of various neurodegenerative diseases in these Ba-contaminated ecosystems suggests that the pathogenesis of all of these diseases could pivot upon a common disruption of the sulphated proteoglycan-growth factor mediated signalling systems. Individual genetics dictates which specific disease emerges at the end of the day.
They are spraying us with aluminum and radioactive barium, among other things.
These metals and salts contaminate the environment and out bodies, causing potassium deficiencies, multiple sclerosis, respiratory problems, and because aluminum passes the blood-brain barrier, they contribute to brain wasting diseases like Jacob Crutchfield disease and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (Mad Cow.)
Sea ice is frozen seawater floating on the surface of the ocean. Some sea ice is semi-permanent, persisting from year to year, and some is seasonal, melting and refreezing from season to season. The sea ice cover reaches its minimum extent at the end of each summer and the remaining ice is called the perennial ice cover. The 2007 Arctic summer sea ice has reached the lowest extent of perennial ice cover on record - nearly 25% less than the previous low set in 2005. The area of the perennial ice has been steadily decreasing since the satellite record began in 1979, at a rate of about 10% per decade. But the 2007 minimum, reached on September 14, is far below the previous record made in 2005 and is about 38% lower than the climatological average. Such a dramatic loss has implications for ecology, climate and industry.”
