"Good Day Elephant"

"I am not an elephant!"

"White Elephant"

Tis true my form is something odd,

But blaming me is blaming God;
Could I create myself anew
I would not fail in pleasing you.

If I could reach from pole to pole
Or grasp the ocean with a span,
I would be measured by the soul;
The mind's the standard of the man.

-poem used by Joseph Merrick to end his letters, adapted from "False Greatness" by Isaac Watts

My contribution Hurakan, God of Storms is featured on page 225 across from my buddy Tyler Jacobson's savage depiction of Ahab and Moby Dick.

The image printed darker than I'd have liked, but what're ya gonna do.
Mostly I just feel fortunate to have been included in such good company.
Thanks again to the folks at Spectrum, it means a lot to me.

As always, Comic-Con was a blast. Every year I leave the convention halls feeling more charged up and inspired than I ever thought possible and I have many good people to thank for sharing with me. So thank you to everyone who took the time to look at my work, offer feedback and talk art.

Now here's a peek at some of the treasures I picked up.

From Flesk Publications.

Claire Wendling's "Desk" is like Antoine Louis Barye on paper.

Also got a look at the cover for the upcoming edition of Spectrum.
