And now for something completely different: my first concert poster. Time constraints keep me from tackling too many freelance jobs, but I took this one on as a favor for former co-worker Travis Hay. (Of course, it helped his cause that he slipped me a box of comic books.) Travis writes the Ear Candy music blog for the Seattle P-I, and is hosting a three-band gig to celebrate his blog’s second birthday. If you’re in Seattle Easter evening, check it out. (I must admit, I’m enjoying Ms Led’s latest CD, “Shake Yourself Awake,” quite a bit. Their poppier tracks sound quite a bit like The Reputation, which is high praise in my book.)

Beyond editorial cartooning, I haven’t done much illustration during my tenure at The Wenatchee World. But when we decided to do a Halloween coloring contest this year, I thought it would be fun to play. Following is my coloring contest page, which appeared in the 10.11.07 edition of Go! Magazine.

(Longtime followers of my work will recognize Elle the Vampire in there, middle row, second from left. She’s a recurring character from the past that I hope to dust off and do more with in 2008.)
