A page from an unfinished linocut comic book about St. Francis and the Wolf Of Gubbio

For those of you reading along since 2003, you may remember that I was once involved in music. ¬†The earliest band I was in was called The Walter Boyd Band, which was a one-man-band (me) with another person’s name. ¬†(Kinda like Jethro Tull). ¬†I was the only one who understood my own joke, but “we” did put out one album.
Here’s the cover I made in 2008 for an attempt a 5 year anniversary reissue.
Here’s what I was doing around this time last year:
Grant Thomas draws Green Arrow in his sketchbook (and uses the Book of Common Prayer as a paper weight)
45 minutes of drawing compressed into 6 minutes
a slide of a light box I made in Art School around 2001
Charcoal sketch from 2000 when I was going through my “return to the womb” phase.
Map sketch from 2000.
Life drawing sketch from 2002.

Years ago, my friend named his son Augustin Bear, so I made this in his honor.
An early cover design based on Beatles Help! album cover.

When I was a kid, my brother and I made up comics about guys in space with laser-like swords and we called them the Ice Fighters.  (I am not sure where we got the idea to have our heroes use laser-like swords in 1986!)
