Love it, as always. I do miss your original ink pieces, though. I bought a ton of them back from '98 and '99 and have them framed in my bedroom. Nothing like going to sleep at night with the images of bloodthirsty vampires hovering above your head... XD

Really? What sort of "ink sketches" were they? Not from 30 days? Cos I didn't start inking until later in comics...

Do you mean that super suuuupper early stuff I did as favors for a local vampire role playing game "newsletter"?? Oh god/s. That was my sad attempt at Bradstreet. ( without real photoref. heh )

All three were pinup-style pieces. All from 30 Days, I think... or they could have been promotional, not sure. One is a vampire chick facing the viewer looking pretty stoned, one is of a bare-backed vampire dude hunched over with really long fingers and nails with an arm tattoo, and the last one is of a vampire chick smoking against the side of a building. XD Any ring a bell?

Yeah, I think...those would be the vampire newsletter things. Especially if they're from 98-99 since 30 Days was 2002.

You got vintage there. ;)

I think I could stare at this all day.

I snagged this off your flickr a few days ago...I have nothing better to do than check people's flickr pages daily. It is my desktop background.

ben_templesmith October 4 2007, 18:14:12 UTC

Ahah! So you were one of the two bastards who copped a view of it on flickr before I could mark it "private" until release today. ;)

There's a bunch I put up on flickr, some public some not...but it'll all go public eventually. ( except the german donkey erotica, if that got out, I don't know what I'd do...)

seangrimm October 4 2007, 18:27:23 UTC

Mwhaha, yes that was me. I got the others too because I change my desktop about once every three hours. I have very low attention span. I like cupcakes. Don't worry though I'll buy your poppycock just like all your other books, then once I have them all I will complete your Satanic message hidden within and carry out your assassination plan upon the heads of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. Also you are a bastard for having Poppycock in LA. I'm sure there are a good six or seven of us in New Jersey that would come to your show if it was here...probably...OK maybe three of us.

That's a particularly strong piece.
