I can't believe it's 2013 --- and I'm still chugging away at a ton of projects in the book world and it's a huge ordeal, so i hope to get some updates here for you soon, but lots of it is under nondisclosure status so i can only post snippets of half of what's going on.

So entertain yourself with this!

It has been a crazy whirlwind of a year.

Ever since I started working with Jeff and Ann VanderMeer and all the crazy weasels they drag along with them in this murky starlit bog of a wonderland I have been busy drawing covers for over 30 books or projects, with many more in the process happening -- and I haven't updated on here once since I got my my tip wet, so to speak.

I'm sorry.

So let me make it up to those few of you who enjoy my rare interactions: I'm going to be posting everything I've done in the last year, in some form of order, very soon. I'm proud of everything I've done, and even prouder that my first cover to cover work with Jeff is going to be released next year in the summer, and like the creature on the cover, it is a leviathan called WONDERBOOK and it will rock your mind. www.jeffvandermeer.com/2012/06…

I also did the covers for 'The Blood Poetry' by Leland Pitts-Gonzalez www.thebloodpoetry.com/ and the fantastically awesome 'Jagannath' by Karin Tidbeck www.jeffvandermeer.com/2012/07…, both out in August and November.

I also, as far as I know, amd still involved with doing this years 'Shared Worlds' anthology which is chockfull of teen writing from the coolest kids camp ever.

I'd like to especially thank RAW DOG SCREAMING, CHEEKY FRAWG and everyone else involved for choosing me, out of millions of artists to do my thing, even if some of those people send me clown statues that terrify me for no reason.

How cool is that?

Well, after wasting way too much time on family of all things, I finally sat down and cranked out the first version of the Jeff VanderMeer limited edition of his nonfiction collection, 'Monstrous Creatures' from Raw Dog press.

I had been rolling what I wanted to do for weeks in my head, but it wasn't till recently that it all came together, and even then the final piece is very different from what I thought I'd end up with.

I'll upload some pics of it when I get the go ahead on any edits, since it's always likely that some changes might be needed, though I was given an amazing amount of freedom on this.

But, editing just gets your brain cranking around problems, so it's all good.

I'm really stoked with what I have so far though, I worked everything in as a complement to the art as a whole, including the logos and back text and I think it's going to look awesome on the shelf and on the coffee table.

I will be uploading the artwork I did especially for the back inna minute.

Because I am being way more procrastionory (not a word) than normal.
