Hey Gang,

After resisting as long as I could I finally opened a Twitter account, since I hear from so many people at shows that don't do Facebook (my primary social conduit).  So feel free to follow me if your so inclined at:   https://twitter.com/Bobtheartist1

See ya'll in Twitter-Land!

Hey gang,

First of all I must apologize, because it's been over 6 months since I last posted on this blog.  Life, business and four different pages on Facebook, just got in the way.  I promise I'll try to do better in the future.

For followers of my Eye Witness graphic novel series....or those who might not even know it exists (because you're started following my recent print-poster work over the past three years), here's a whole new group of reviews by noted writer and professor, Jeff Provine.

I really enjoyed his take on the series, (and not just because in general he likes my work...yes, that's a plus), because he really dug in beneath the surface and touches on some of the more subtle things I tried to accomplish with the storytelling...some of which he enjoyed and some of which he didn't and some of which I forget I even attempted (lol)!

So here ya go....

Book one: A Fictional Tale of Absolute Truth

Book Two: Acts of the Spirit

Book Three: Rise of the Apostle

Aurora Tribute Print

Hey gang,

Once again I find myself using my talents and my connections to lovers of the comic arts to help those in need...and this time in those in need from our family of comic lovers.

I've created this image as a fundraising vehicle to help families who were victims of the Aurora, CO shootings on July 20th, 2012.

I'll be selling this piece at my next handful of convention appearances, (including: The Dallas Webcomics Expo and the Chicago Comic Con).  All net proceeds will go to the families, channeled throught the efforts of Jason Farnsworth, owner of All C's Collectibles, of Aurora, CO...who personally knew many of those effected by this tragedy.  Jason will be holding a live event, with creator signings and a live Auction on August 25th-26th at his store (see: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Aurora-Rise-Benefit-Event/479465245414113).

If you can't attend that, or any of my upcoming convention appearances (see: http://bobtheartist.com/news.cfm), than go to my website, scroll down to Batman-Aurora Tribute, and order as many as you'd like ($15 a piece plus shipping and Tax where applicable).
