I promise this is the last one.

Qapla!

Worf.
Why did they give this mighty Klingon warrior a bob haircut?

Baldly Going...

...where no man has gone before.

I've been watching a lot of late night Star Trek TNG lately. I wouldn't classify myself as a Trekkie, but in college we used to watch TNG late at night while stuffing congealed cheeseburgers and nachos down our freshman throats. Since I'm now not surrounded by Busch Lite swilling old college friends commenting on the size of Troi's endowments, I figured it would look less pathetic if I took that time to sketch some of the characters while watching. Right?

So to start off, here's the man, the legend, the captain- Jean-Luc Picard...

"Make it so."

More "Hunks of Star Trek" coming this week.

Spying on Monsters

More shameless "tooting my own horn"...


Hero Spy, a website devoted to reviewing comics, movies, and other pop culture goodness has just reviewed our book, A Field Guide to Midwest Monsters. It's a glowing review and we've been honored with a five star rating.

A whole month without an update! What a shite blog this is.

I've just returned to London after an extremely fun yet exhausting trip through the good ol' US of A. I spent two weeks in my motherland of cheese and bratwurst, Wisconsin. It was relaxing to catch up with family In Green Bay and ol' buds in Madison. From there the Blecha clan invaded NYC for my brother's wedding. It was a gorgeous reception on the "shore" of Brooklyn overlooking the Manhattan skyline. I was bestest man and I was very palm-sweatingly, pooping-my-pants nervous for my speech. I think it went OK- at least there's nothing online to say otherwise.

After a hellish night spent in JFK airport and a 3 hour bus ride from LA, I arrived at San Diego for Comic Con 2006. It was another stellar year there. Never before has so much inspiring work, stimulating artists, sensory overloading booths and slathering nerdgeeks been concentrated at one place and one time.

My good friend and collaborator, Jason Felix and I shared a booth in Artist Alley. We were selling our book, A Field Guide to Midwest Monsters to the swollen masses. We had a great time chatting with people and selling out of the batch that we brought down there. There is some possibly some big news for us up ahead but I'll wait to share when things are finalized a little more.

Thanks to all the people that picked up our book and to all the artists I that inspired me in turn.
