Bellerophon & Pegasus is now on sale!

It's been a long, long time since I've posted to my blog here, but I wanted to assure everyone that I'm not dead-- I've just been tremendously busy. But here's some good news-- I finally received several copies of "Bellerophon and Pegasus" in the mail! Here's a pic:



This is the Compass Media page for it. If one of you really wants to buy it, I think purchase information can be found somewhere on the site. You might have to call somebody though. However, there IS a nifty preview that can be seen if you click "preview": it'll let you see the first few pages. The graphic designer really did a fantastic job laying everything out.

I'll be posting the rest of "Bellerophon" this week, and I have a lot more work after that to show you guys. I hope you enjoy!

Hi Joanne. My name is Jeani Rector and I am the editor of The Horror Zine. I cruised your gallery and am impressed; your work is beautiful and unique. I would like to publish some of your work in The Horror Zine. We are not just horror; we are seeking talent in many genres, including fantasy and surreal. We are a "4theluv" market but we get over 30,000 hits a week, so it would be great exposure. If you are interested, please check out The Horror Zine for yourself and then email me at thehorrorzine@gmail.com and I thank you.

I was wondering, are you planning on continuing your work on George and Jane Boleyn?I really love the way you depict them and their story seems very interesting!:)

Hmmm, that's an interesting question. A few years ago, :iconsavivi: and I were discussing writing and illustrating an online storybook/webcomic about the two of them. However, the two of us have gotten pretty distracted with new jobs and moving to new cities, so right now this is on hold. But since Savivi is pretty booked at the moment, I might have to reconfigure the "Falling from Grace" idea in some way. I'm open to ideas and suggestions-- if you want to send me a note with your thoughts on the subject, I'm all ears! :)

I absolutely love your work. Your hatching style and sense of realism give your work a classical sort of look, but with a modern touch. Great gallery - your style is refreshing and I like the historical narratives a lot! Can't wait for more.

I swore I was watching you before, but I guess not! *rewatches*

Thank you! I really appreciate that. Sometimes I forget that what I actually do is any good, since I do it for work and I have to churn so much of it out.

I'm going to be posting a lot more work soon, so I hope you enjoy it! :)
