My illustrative compatriots at the Bureau of Drawers have put together a free e-anthology which you can download here. Writer Adam Eivy has his entire first Sleep Deprivation Ninja story (with art by me) in the anthology, and a bunch of my other friends have their work in it too. The collection is already receiving positive press, prompting the Stranger’s Paul Constant to herald a return of the Seattle comics scene: “…after a few somnambulant years, the Seattle comics scene is back.” Also, the anthology has been featured on my favorite source of comics news, Tom Spurgeon’s The Comics Reporter. Neat! Go take a look at what we’ve done! (The cover art posted above is by Nikki Burch)

Here’s another page of blueline art for the Sleep Deprivation Ninja  story.  And yes, that’s a Hokusai wave, because the best things in life  are stolen.

And here’s the final page of art, after I’ve had a chance to color it in Photoshop. I’ll have links to the entire webcomic once Adam posts it.
