TRICKED

The second graphic novel, 97% of which has never been seen before! Six characters whose otherwise unconnected lives are brought together by one moment which is as mystical as it is violent.
Publisher's Weekly called it one of the best comics of 2005! Wizard Magazine deemed it the indie book of the year! Entertainment Weekly says, "Tricked does what a good graphic novel does best: Sucks your brain in on all levels. Most indie film should be this good."

ORIGINAL ART

At this time, I am not selling any original art from Too Cool, Lower Regions, Box Office Poison or Tricked.
I am taking requests for commissioned drawings. There are currently two options for commissions:
1) a 9x12" black and white drawing, with as many figures as you like for $30 a figure. Shipped via Priority Mail
2) a 5x7" black and white drawing with one figure for $15. Shipped via first class mail.
I've recently changed the rules to allow other characters besides my own (but I still don't want to do caricatures of real people as they require too much work).

Fine Print:

I
am incapable of capturing the likenesses of real humans so I will most likely turn down any requests for caricatures of actual people. I have the right to refuse any orders. Minimal or non-existant backgrounds please. Drawings are for personal use only and are not to be reprinted without permisson however, I may reprint them as much as I like, nyah-nyah. Non-U.S. customers: North American, please add $10 US, everyone else, please add $20US for postage. If you have any questions you can e-mail me  and we'll work it out!

A Kidnapped Santa Claus
by L. Frank Baum
Adapted by Alex Robinson

First published in 1904 by the same author as "The Wizard of Oz" the action starts with uncommon events in the land of Santa. Not far from the Laughing Valley where Santa and all his magical helpers live, and beyond the Forest of Burzee, there stands a huge mountain that contains the Cave of Daemons. Each daemon has a specialty: Selfishness, Envy, Hatred, Malice, and Repentance. Because the promise of Santa puts all girls and boys on their best behavior, the daemons have hardly any visitors to their caves. In order to remedy their dismal foot traffic, they conspire to kidnap Santa! But oh! even when it looks as if the daemons might win, one can never underestimate the power of devoted (and magical!) friends.
