Space/Love/Mail

My new friend Kyle Nolan sent me his Brain Dead Phylum comics in a beautifully printed envelope. And to my surprise, he included some totally awesome Scepter Gem fan art!! It really made my day!

The alien creature in the inside cover of issue 2 creeped me out and made me laugh at the same time.

Kyle's drawings are totally awesome. There is so much texture and line, it's really pleasing to look at. His comics are also really funny, so I suggest you check them out.

Chill Alien

Here's a quick little story about a Chill Alien. I kind of like this little guy. I might just make him his own little series of one-page comics. I find that coming up with short stories is a really good exercise for me because I tend to want to elaborate on everything, and story ideas turn into huge hypothetical projects that I don't really have time for.
