Giorgio Tsoukalos, the man, the myth, the legend. The harbinger of all ancient mysteries is he!

Here’s a limerick I wrote about him that sums up this image of Giorgio Tsoukalos.

Giorgio Tsoukalos had wonderful hair.

Giorgio Tsoukalos wished more people would care…

about ancient mysteries and the secrets of those long dead.

So the Occupy movement should borrow his head.

Because he knows the Extraterrestrials have always been there.

I also did a fun commercial, spoof for the soundtrack for my Webcomic, with Heavy Metal Magazine. All the proceeds of my comic go to the Ronnie James Dio Stand up and Shout Cancer fund. Please enjoy!

Back in February of 2011 I was fortunate enough to land a very fun freelance gig. I was contracted to paint some key art samples to be used in a pitch for a THQ game called Darksiders 2. This game is the follow up to the original smash hit game Darksiders, created by Vigil Games, a subsidiary of THQ. Vigil Games is an Austin, Texas based video game development company  formed by renowned comic artist Joe (Mad) Madureira and David L. Adams.

My role was take the early concepts of the main character, Death and position him in various settings of the game. It was an interesting job as most of the world was just being flushed out so I had few visuals to work with…but what I did have was amazing.  I had access to several background paintings which I used to form the foundation of the paintings and then I created the image of Death, and his nasty dead horse. This was a fun assignment and I hope I get a chance to do more video game art as I love it.

I posted this over at the website of my comic, Gates but I figured it needed to be here too! It’s October, which means Halloween! So I think I’m going to have some fun with horror/sci-fi/fantasy movies and the people that deserve to have their balls basted in the world today.

Here we have a scary TEA PARTY ALIEN!!!! AHHHHHH!!!—Michele Bachmann and the movie Alien. I think this is scarier than any alien I have EVER seen before!!!! Poor John Hurt gets another scary Tea Party monster  bursting from his stomach.
And while you’re here, please check out Gates, my new science fiction comic as well as the awesome soundtrack, where 100% of the proceeds are  dedicated to the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up And Shout Cancer Fund.
