  • The ocean calls my name (not an emo post, I swear)

    November 7, 2009

    •  This afternoon, on vacation, sitting at the beach with a cigar in one hand and a notepad in the other, getting a head-start on inscriptions for Charactered Pieces preorders, I was struck with a sense of a realized dream, a dream I didn’t really know I had until that moment.

  • Fans of Sideshow Fables

    August 22, 2009
