Here is the penciled version of the front cover for Perihelion Part 1 (of 4). Once Djo finishes with the inking, then I will color it with watercolor.

"Perihelion" Part 1 coming soon! - Blog Update 6/10/24
I haven't updated this blog in a while. Here's what's been happening and what we're planning. Djo and I are still working on “Perihelion”. Included is a picture of Djo on a recent Zoom call beginning the inking of page 20, the last page of Part 1. If all goes as planned, we are planning on self-publishing Part 1 this summer.
I am working on a short 20-something page graphic novel, entitled “God's Eye”, which I wrote and am illustrating myself. I will post updates and pics from that in the future. Hopefully it will be done sometime in 2025.
We are also planning on re-publishing a new edition of Djo's self-published project from several years ago entitled “EgoBox!ng”, which at this point, I have not read. I can't wait to get my hands on the artwork for scanning!
More to come!
