Oh brother don't turn, go on, go on.

Oh, I bet you long for the life that you lived.
me and myself, I got nothing to lose but this war...
...and when the war came,
I signed up for you.


Madrugada, "The Riverbed."

A drawing of Dick Grayson, sometimes known as Nightwing, featuring his propensity for gravitas, grace, bullet scars and ballet flats. This is something like the opening lines of my visual treatise on l'esprit du Dick.

Here are some of my favorite songs from a couple of my favorite Asian solo musicians. both Shiina and Jay are super popular, and rightly so. Whether you understand the lyrics or not, the music is beautiful and the videos are stylish. Or over-styled. Even passe! But great fun at any rate. :)

So a porn star and a Buddhist monk walk into this blog...

Another new illustration for an article in the Las Vegas Weekly, this time about a porn convention! Taking that into consideration, I think I managed to keep the cheesecake to a fairly sedate level, but I will warn you; never before in my art career have I drawn melons so large. Not that these ones are any larger than what you'd see on your average female background character in what we call "ze comics," but still.

To counteract the extremely sparkly sordidness of the aforementioned, I'm also including a sketch of everybody's favorite son of a serial-womanizer-for-justice hot multiracial vigilante Buddhist monk, Connor Hawke.
