Bombs Away!

Bookplates have returned! Only temporarily however. I've made three new ones, two of them are going into two very special editions of my Belle du Jour book to be auctioned off this Saturday at Maverix Studios in San Francisco. The art auction is to raise money for the ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION (see my last post for more details)
These special editions are not part of my numbered 100, so they do not count tword my 30 remaining bookplates. I'll do those at a later date.
Here are the books (complete with original art bookplates) for the auction.

This third bookplate will arrive at a secret undisclosed location... shhh.

Victory Over Land!

Hi Everybody, Sorry I haven't been posting very frequently lately. I've been up to my neck with work on my Rex Steele book production. I did want to announce that "Belle du Jour" has officially passed it's one thousand books sold mark! It's now half way through its print run, just another thousand left!

On another note, My friend Nate and his wife Esther are organizing an art auction to benefit the ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION at the end of this month. It'll be held at the Maverix Studios in San Francisco. So swing on by and buy some art for a good cause. Or Donate some art even! Or both!

I'm hoping to do a little somethin' somethin' for the show myself, hopefully I can squeeze it in.

Destination: France - Chapter 3

I'm back.
I've been in New York for a small vacation and a wedding.
I've got a little bit of a backlog of Belle Du Jour orders to fill, so please be patient as I catch up.

Here's the final cover for the Rex Steele french edition. Or at least final as of the moment, I might monkey with it some more before print. The font at the bottom might change and/or be in French eventually. We will see.

M.I.A.

I'd like to thank everyone for their enthusiasm for my book. I'm very happy that it's been received so well.
Unfortunately I'll not be able to fill book orders for a short period. Starting today Friday August 24th until Wednesday September 5th to be specific. So please hold off from ordering Belle Du Jour in that time, or if you do order please know that it will not be filled until September 5th earliest.
Any outstanding orders as of this moment will be filled today.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Destination: France - Chapter 2

These are a few of the background elements for the French Rex Steele book cover. In the final they'll be partly covered by the foreground elements so I thought I'd show 'em in their entirety.

Destination: France

I'm very happy to announce that Rex Steele: Nazi Smasher is being published en français! In living fascist crunching color! It's being published by the fine folks at Akiléos. My buddy Nate Wragg is coloring most of it, but I'm coloring some too.
Here's the rough for the cover. I'll post more as it developes.

Hero Down.

Mike Wieringo passed away just this past Sunday. I'm quite devastated by it, even though I barely knew him. I've been a huge fan and admirer of his work since I was a student. He was truly one of the greats in my mind, and truly humble. In appreciation I wanted to post this pin up he did for Matt Peters and myself for our Rex Steele book a few years ago. We will miss him.
