I’ll have an Artists Alley table at FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention this Friday and Saturday (April 19-20).  You can find me with posters, mini-posters, books, and original sketches at Table “Gold 6,” where the red arrow is in the lower left (click for the huge PDF):    

Only one not-for-sale sketch from my sketchbook this week (I try not to post things for filthy lucre on Sunday)… …and the rest of what I posted were for sale to raise money for my daughter Sariah’s Broadway trip. The sketches that didn’t sell immediately when I posted them on Facebook are available for $20…

As has been my habit of late, a few of the sketches were straight from my sketchbook… …and the rest of what I posted were for sale to raise money for my daughter Sariah’s Broadway trip. The sketches that didn’t sell immediately when I posted them on Facebook are available for $20 each at my…

A Long Ride From Hell (1968) – It was filmed in Italy (by an Italian director with a largely Italian cast) in the late ’60s, so it’s very much a technical spaghetti Western, but everything from the star to the costumes to the script (based on an American novel) seems like a throwback to pre-Fistful…

Atragon (1963) – It’s like a kaiju movie without the kaiju (mostly), as befits a movie directed by Ishiro Honda and scored by Akira Ifukube.  Agents from the Mu Empire, the Pacific version of Atlantis that sank beneath the waves 10,000 years ago (and whose inhabitants are genetically indistinguishable from modern Japanese), are preparing for…

Once again, there were a couple of sketches straight from my sketchbook… …but the majority of what I posted were for sale to raise money for my daughter Sariah’s Broadway trip. The sketches that didn’t sell immediately when I posted them on Facebook are available for $20 each at my Etsy store.

I Am Sartana, Your Angel of Death (1969) – This is the fourth or fifth spaghetti western by release date (from four different production companies) to use the character of “Sartana,” the elegant black-clad bounty hunter who’s just as smooth with cards as with a gun; it’s also the second to feature Gianni Garko in…

So again, there were a couple of sketches straight from my sketchbook… …but the majority of what I posted were for sale to raise money for my daughter’s Broadway trip. The sketches that didn’t sell when I posted them on Facebook are available for $20 each at my Etsy store.

As part of the requirement to keep the license for my day job, I’m required to attend a set number of Continuing Education classes/events, with the further requirement-within-a-requirement that three hours of such classes concern professional ethics. I find the requirement to be especially ludicrous — it’s not like a crooked professional will attend these…

Equinox (1970) – It started out as a student film, which was then expanded to feature length.  The acting and script aren’t great. But when you realize that the original directors included Dennis Muren (FX genius involved in a bunch of Star Wars movies, Battlestar: Galactica, Jurassic Park and others), you realize that what makes…
