Hellbound III: Darkness.
The art edition is out! Reserve your copy today. Or pick one up at MICE this saturday!
This is my editorial debut. I worked as the story editor for the volume, working closely with artists and writers to get the best stories in the anthology as we could. I very pleased with the result. 11 wonderfully crafted stories with some of the best comic art you can find in New England! Thanks go to the art editor, Kimball Anderson, and the who put it in motion and kept everything running smoothly, Roho!
Some information on the book from the Hellbound site:
64 pages ~ $25 | Black and White | 8.5 x 11 inches
The Art Edition features a wraparound full color cover nearly a yard long, designed by Roho and featuring art by Jerel Dye. This volume continues in the same horrifying tradition with eleven chilling tales that examine the darkness that lies within all of us. These gruesome narratives feature some of New England’s best artists and writers: a quick taste of zombies, a story set in a mortuary, the dark side of high-school overachievers. Even baseball gets the horror treatment, The creators work in a variety of styles: totally black backgrounds, light and airy hiding terror underneath, a nightmarish character sketch, and some of the artist explore the woods at night. Also two nearly wordless stories, with one story taking place on a whaling ship and the other in a modern city. Closing out the volume with the chilling words of a criminal. This volume was Edited by Jerel Dye and Kimbal Anderson.

Drabblecast: Judgement Passed
So here is the latest piece of cover art I put together for the wonderfully weird Drabblecast. Episode 257: Judgement Passed. This is a really terrific post apocalyptic tale with an entirely unique take on the concept, I recommend you check it out. It’s by Jerry Oltion, an award winning writer and innovative astronomer.

“From the Clouds” mini coming out!
Hey everyone! Just wanted to inform you that my new mini, From the Clouds is getting ready to go to the printers! Hurray! I’ll have it at MICE (of course!), and it should be hitting Boston comics shops and my etsy shop after that. The book is my first full color endeavor and each page was done in watercolor and ink. Here’s a sample of some of it.
