Getting ready to send off some original cover art for “Deadly Tales of the Gunslinger”…a huge thanks to @Jimmy Palmiotti for giving this a good home. It is quite an honor to have such an accomplished comic artist, writer, and editor purchase some of my work. Cheers, Jimmy!

Self-publishing is a power, it's a gift. You can put whatever you want into your little 'zines and minicomics, absolutely nobody can tell you no. Tell your story, don't worry if it's "good enough", make it anyway.
