Book Update, part the fourth
posted 05 May 2008
On Thursday I drove to Glad Works for my first photo shoot. Photographer Wes Rollend posed a batch of 1983 Swivel-Arm G.I. Joe figures and shot for three hours, racking up 250 pictures. I'm sure when all is said and done, only nine or ten will make the cut. Best of luck to Wes in his new job, and I'm glad we were able to squeeze him into the project before he moved away from Rhode Island. |

Book Update, part the third
posted 05 May 2008
Last weekend I took a printout of Chapter 3 of my G.I. Joe book to BotCon '08. Though this particular convention is for Transformers and not G.I. Joe, it seemed like a good opportunity to network. I had a great time, and got to show my progress to a few helpful people. |

Book Update, part the second
posted 05 May 2008
Two weeks back, and with January's sample page layouts of my book in tow, I trekked to New York for the third annual New York Comic-Con. My mission was to talk to any art book publishers that might be in attendence. Several were, and I got some good advice and a business card or two. While there I also bought a Michael Golden interior page from Marvel Comics' The 'Nam issue #1. |

Inappropriate Touching
posted 26 February 2008
Curatrix Sarah Schoemann pulled together a show of dirty comics and erotic art at The Washington Street Art Center in Somerville, MA. The opening was so jam-packed that I actually didn’t get to see the art. Must have been the coverage by the Dig, the Globe, and the Phoenix. Photos have been added to the EVENTS page. |

Book Update
posted 26 February 2008
Some of you may know I'm working on a book. Research began in July 2001 and I started writing in earnest in October 2006. This week I'm starting Draft 6 of the pitch, which is Chapters 1-4. Special thanks to friend/writer Nick Nadel and father/writer Terence T. Finn for ongoing assistance as manuscript editors. |

New Section Uploaded

As a freshman at art school who didn’t know how to paint, I took an illustration class called “Sci-Fi and Fantasy Illustration.” That embarrassing work is now up in its own eponymous section inside THE VAULT. |

My Photo in The Boston Globe
posted 26 February 2008
In fall '06 reporter Vanessa E. Jones called. With a big-budget Hollywood film in the works she was writing a piece on Transformers fandom. We chatted for an hour, me trying not to come across as a fanatical nerd. The next week, photographer Wiqan Ang showed up to shoot me and my toys. Scans of the article are now in the PRESS section. |
