The Ballad

A tribute to the now late, always great Moebius. Taken from the short story 'The Ballad'.

This image flashed before my eyes on the way down to catch the underground the other day, and needed to be drawn.

Dread Ghost Pirate Kiyarna Piratentacle!

Thanks for the package Kiarna!

Barbelith Tidbits

Another from the Barbelith archive. Some Solaris the Tyrant Sun and Mogo the Planet Green Lantern slash fiction (yeah, I went there) that was tossed off in an afternoon, as it were.

The first rays of light announce his entry into the system as he breaks around the rim of Thanagar. I reposition continents of my forestry in anticipation, allowing those first gentle rays before the solar storms to send photosynthetic paroxysms shivering across my skin. My oceans swell and the plankton sing. Soon it will be hot. Hot enough to boil that song into a plate-shifting moan.

Solaris, tyrant of my core, merely fixes me with his cold, cruel eye.

He flares, and brings me to Perihelion"
