Picture Pthursday: Hydrokinetics and Thermokinetics Galore!
Howdy, Ascension Epoch fans. Presto here. My artist-sense was tingling, and I sensed that you needed more Corona and Cascade in your life. How could I deny you fine folks that?

A Review of the Butler Paranormal Conference
We attended 9th Annual Butler Paranormal Conference today for the first time. Here are my thoughts on the con as a whole: There’s only one negative, so I’ll get that out of the way: If everyone needs to be out of the building at 7 p.m., then the con should officially end at 6:30, and […]

Picture Pthursday
Greetings again, Ascension Epoch fans! It’s time for another Picture Pday. I’ve been hard at work hashing out ideas for the second East End Irregulars cover. While there’s been many an unseen drawing hitting the trash can, Mike and I have finally agreed on something to run with. There’s still likely to be changes (and […]
Picture Pwednesday – East End Irregulars Book 2 Preview
So as you fine folks hopefully know, Mike and I are hard at work on the second East End Irregulars book. We’ve got most of the writing done now, and I’m burying myself in drawings of Torrent, Mysterious X, and a whole bunch of other characters that you’ll get to meet. That said, here’s a […]
