I am still alive. I saw that Hoax #1 costs $100 and #'s 2-4 are going for $50 a piece on Amazon. I gave up the passion for creating comix after an injury. A vericocele explosion forced me to use Ma*****na because of the tremendous amount of gnad pain I was in all the time. That drug took away my drive.
The title for our anthology, HOAX, came from Nate Neal. He inspired me to make comix, and it was my idea to create MNP. I discovered that U of M would fund the printing costs and we all jumped into it. We stumped over the name of it for a while. Then Nate finally nailed it. At the time George Bush reigned and it was around the time of the invasion of Iraq. "It's one big 'Hoax!'" he shouted. We published 5 newspapers in one year. They sucked. My ambition again. I did not realize that I had never even created a comic before, let alone Inked.
My new mission is to begin what I call a "SkillCraft" for making comics. It will be similar to the way EC used to do it, where they all would just draw, ink or write, and if they couldn't nail a drawing they just passed the page to the next artist. A factory line. That is my news for now.

post script: I began works for Hoax #5 and Josh Simmons even sent me a 5 pager, but we were not selling enough to continue.

The Fire was moved by the Wind, so he married her.
The Earth was quenched by the Water, so she married him.

So Amazon is charging $100 for the fourth issue of my underground comic anthology Hoax. I have boxes of all 4 issues. $100 a pop.

This could be Gregori Rasputin for all you know. I mean who else would you want their back in this realm? No. Not Rasputin. Because WE are wolves. This is someone else. It's for sale.

Bust I made of my father just before he died. It is for his Urn.

I have many a many a many of small books (4-8 drawings) that I will never publish. If you are interested message me.

I once was greeted by an old nun with a crucifix of EyeBalls on her face. No nose, no mouth. Just eyes, up and down, winking and smiling at me. My favorite Nun is iSpoke or we call her The iSpoke. There are many rituals and the gods are just a confusing loss. I really think a lot of you should be scared right now.
