Happy 2020!!!

Wow! What a year so far! So many things happened!
Pandemics, murder hornets, riots… And we’re only half way through the year.
So… let’s not talk about them. I’ve had enough already. Seriously.

I’m trying to keep aware of what’s going on in the news and what not, but you can only deal with so much at a time. You also need to think about the good things and the fact that we are here on this amazing planet Earth. The universe is so vast and we are but the smallest of things in it. We are unique. So keep that that in mind as you go about your day.

So far this year I’ve been experimenting… really for the first time with acrylic painting. And oh I’m loving it! It has taken me back to that artistic place from my youth that I thought I had lost. Of course I’m still into multiple projects, but this is right up there with how much I love watercolors. Amazing! I’ll try to post some stuff here but if you’d like to check out some of my weird attempts at ‘real painting’ then go on over to my Xombie Ink page on Facebook or on the Instagram page for Doctor Xombie. [LINKS here and also at the top of the page.]

Next: Update for a long awaited comic book project that’s been two years in the making.
More on that next time. So stay TOMBED!

The Adventures Are About To Begin

Well, its been quite a busy week/weekend!
The BIG NEWS is that I have finished the cover!
Its been sent in and I’m waiting for final print review.
Here is a sneak peak of the back cover:
(You can read the blurb in my previous post.)

I decided to put the pictures of the main characters ON the cover instead of inside the book.
This way you can see GRANNY GHOUL, FRIDAY, and HANNAH BANANA in COLOR.
(Of course Doctor Xombie is on the front cover).

I hope you enjoyed this little preview and you’ll check out the new book when it materializes, which should be by my birthday… the middle of next month.

Until next time…

Bye Bye Rainy Day

I sat down and its suddenly 7 hours later. Where did the time go?
I think it rained while my mind was elsewhere too. Hmmmmm
Here’s what I was working on though so it was totally worth it.

I did some small edits and pretty much finished the layout in InDesign (which is formatted for a 6×9 book).
I’m still not sure about pictures but I still have time to think on that.

Working on the cover blurb too:
Here it is so far (just remember things may change):

The action-packed spooky adventures of alien horror host Doctor Xombie and his strange assortment of friends are here for you to thrill to. Read along as they encounter weird monsters and crack jokes & puns along the way.

Macabre tales included are about what happened when homicidal Lord Arken escaped his prison planet, Doctor Xombie was late for a big funeral, and Vegetablemen invaded the small town of Zephyr-kills.

You also get the story of when Granny Ghoul tried to find the perfect rock for Doctor Xombie’s spooky garden, Friday’s quest for the perfect peanuts, and Hannah Banana the gorilla’s antics, when they took the local flea market by storm.

What do the Brigade want with Granny’s new skull and why can’t Mr. Dan keep Doctor Xombie’s hearse clean? These questions and more might be answered in these very pages. Probably.

Will Doctor Xombie and Fiends finally realize the true meaning of life and why we are all here? Not even close, but with their macabre sense of humor they’ll save the Earth from alien invaders and other threats to humanity.

If you love horror hosts, sci-fi, comedy, and macabre humor then you’ll want to grab this unique and exciting tome with both cold clammy hands.

So this is just another small update to let you all know that the book will be out by the end if the year… but probably much sooner. Keep checking out the Facebook page and here at www.XombieInk.com

-Later!!!
