I’ve had the pleasure of doing a couple of pieces of art for stories by author Sam Anderson (www.samscrap.com) this last year, for his new collection “Postcards from Purgatory”.  The book features some great stories, and I was happy to do art for the book.

If you check out my grayscale art page (I’ll wait….), you’ll see an image of a man falling.  I did that art, for Sam’s story “to die dreaming”, from Dark Animus #5 (quite a few years ago). It will be reprinted (with the story of course) in Sam’s new book, along with another new image of one of his other great stories.

After a couple of setbacks (including a new publisher), Sam’s book will be coming out soon. Keep checking his website (above) for more information, and definitely pick it up.

I created one other image that didn’t quite make it into the book (not enough room), and that one is below.  It’s based on a fun story called, “If Mama Ain’t Happy”, and I pretty much refer to it by the same name so that’s now it’s official title.

The original version was grayscale, but through the Magic of Technology™ (aka, Photoshop), I gave it some more texture and color. As always, let me know what you think, either here or my various Twitters, Facebooks and emails.
