The common people; the masses.

That's right. Orion the Hunter has hit the 1-year milestone. 51 pages of ooey, chewy goodness. If you haven't checked it out in a while, take a look. It's well worth the effort. My collaborator Joe Querio just keeps getting better and better on the art, and the writing's not to bad nether... if I do ...

Very cool piece, Cliff. It would be great to see your art on the new Magnus series (are you listening, Dark Horse?).

I appreciate the thought. I am actively seeking new inking and writing gigs, but not actually penciling. Now that I'm doing the art on Belter and writing Orion and Belter I just ...

Yes... yes it is... but there is still much more. Including a Shadowman/Master Darque and Tekla.

Thanks for the quick buy on this one...

Plus a few other things are in the shop at Arctos Comics ( http://arctoscomics.com ) now. All the drawings are $20 or less (1/2 price) and I'm taking commissions for as low as $30 for 11x14 pen and ink. Here's the new Magnus I spoke of... there's also a Shadowman and a Tekla as well as a bunch of ...

Just posted in the shop. A Tekla hot off the presses, and a Shadowman portrait I finished a couple of years ago (based on one I did even older than that).

And all the Valiant characters are gone! Way to go Cliff! Congrats on the sales! :thumb:

It's all thanks to you guys. I appreciate it. Finishing up the Tekla pencils this afternoon and will post this evening. Got a Space Ghost planed for tomorrow, then a Magnus or X-O, so keep checking back ...

There are a few pieces gone and a couple of new pieces posted. I'm going to be posting a Tekla later today as well. Keep checking back. I'm doing a drawing a day from now till the end of the month. I've also added a commissions section where you can order and pay for commissions.

Thanks,

Cliff ...

I have a slew of artwork on my shop from my drawing a day series — including Shadowman and Magnus pieces. Most are 11x14 Black & White originals on 2-ply bristol board. Normally I'd charge $40 for these works, but right now I have them marked down to just $20. Buy now and get it shipped for $1.

My Magnus original auction ends tonight at 11:22PM. So far it has no bids, so it could be yours for $19.99 + shipping. Remember Christmas is less than 90-days away, don't you deserve a little something special in your ...

This original art work at the $25 pledge level - is this art work that appears in these books?

Joe works digitally on Orion, but I do work traditionally on Belter, so it certainly could be a Belter page. Otherwise the art that I was talking about is anything that's part of my Drawing A Day work ...

Small press publishing is a little like being a PBS station, you do the work because you love it... because it's in your blood. Not necessarily because you have any illusions that you're going to get wealthy doing so.

But, ya' still gotta' eat, make the house payments, etc. So I'm running a little ...

Still just $25 shipped. $75 for buy-it-now. It's a steal.

I'd fogotten about this category, so I apologize for the cross-post. I'm running an auction on my site for a new piece of work I just finished today. 5-Day auction.Here's the link to the auction... Anybody does Buy It Now and I'll refund the shipping costs.

Apparently my posts got back to him. He sent me the artwork. I'd never intended to get the original art, so I'm selling it off. I'm using the pin-up in the back of Orion the Hunter Part 2.

'What goes around... comes around.'

I really wish I still believe that. I've seen it too many times where publishers pull this crap and are rewarded with success. I like another quote better, "All that's necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." or something to that effect.
