I see here that it has been a year since my last blog post. Dearie me. Well, here is what has been happening in Slugland, briefly.
First of all, I have a new book out! Just released (well, in August), it is called I Love You More Than Moldy Ham. It is the touching tale of a rotund monster on a quest to make dinner for his mother, and is filled with delightful bits of mucous, head cheese and, of course, moldy ham.

Whistle as I trudge along. Squirming insects join in song.
I love you more than mucky feet, more than squelchy things to eat!
Check it out on Amazon or Barnes and Noble! And if you like the book, feel free to leave a glowing review there haha…
I was just interviewed over at The Writers’ Rumpus about the book and about some of my influences etc. It was a fun interview, so give it a look if you are so inclined! http://writersrumpus.com/
The other thing I have been spending time on is oil painting. I had my first group show at Bowersock Gallery in Provincetown, MA this summer, and it went well, yay. I have really been enjoying this – the style is quite different from my illustration so hopefully by stretching myself this way I am increasing my little gray cells. Here are a couple of examples:
Funny Action
Cryptid Encounters
A Deadly Game
The Cheesiest Shall Reign
You can find more examples on my website here.
And once I finish the latest one (Twinkie Terror) I am working on, it is time to start ornaments! Hoo boy. Running a bit late on that…but it will get done!
And there you have it, finally – an update!! I would promise to post more frequently, but I know better…
