the Scott Pilgrim series

Just read the first five books in this series by Bryan Lee O'Malley and this is probably one of the best comics I've ever read. Its full of video game references, including boss battles and anime type stuff, but its totally an indie comedy romance type book. I have them if anyone else wants to read them, they are really good, I read them all within 24 hours. Except there is still one book left, so you are kind of left at a cliffhanger and it really sucks because you totally get into it but the next book wont be out until august. But its also being made into a super awesome movie, directed by Edgar Wright. Yeah, that Edgar Wright, the dude who directed Hot Fuzz and Shawn of the Dead. Also coming out in August. And as if thats not enough, they are making an old school side scrolling video game based on the series. So yeah, read it.

Gutter Pulp Cover

Recently I was asked to make the cover for a student poetry zine. I made them two based off requests and they chose the one with the girl. Here they are.

In addition to these, there is some really sweet pictures that you should look at here and here. They are by photographer Peter Beste and they have the feelings of the environment I want to create.
