Hey there! Thanks for your support and interest in the art des
and I do. To answer your questions: my vision is still pretty bad.
It isn't improving, but it's not really getting much worsr. I hope
to have the necessary operations very soon, though most likely not
until after Easter, due to my work schedule. Six-day workweeks,
what fun.
Rabbit Valley has squared away with me regarding it's previous
debt. However, I no longer sell my merchandise through them (except
for Radio titles). To see what artwork is available, check out

New stuff in the works? But of course! There will be several new
things on the next By The Tail website update (this Sunday coming
up), and I hope to have the next Skunkworks folio (a collaboration
between Des and I) ready before the end of February, maybe a little
sooner. After that, I'd like to start on the Valencia folio (the
one where she takes on the entire football team). Lots of other
folios are in the sketch stages; as long as the doctors don't
permanently blind me, I'll get a lot of them done this year!
Regarding Radio, I do not publish any more material through them
at this time. I have not received any compensation from the
Skunkworks Graphic Novel, Ups & Downs, or even the Reflections book,
which many artists donated their time and skills to. I've heard
nothing from Radio either, be it by mail, telephone, or internet.
But I'm thinking I might just end up self-publishing the full
version of Ups & Downs, and selling it through Second Ed. More to
come as I figure it out, I reckon.
Thanks for writing and sharing in my twisted imagination! Hope
you've enjoyed the ride thus far!
