I’ve been blogging for a while now about Liz and my involvement in the upcoming Tori Amos anthology Comic Book Tattoo (slated for release later this month).

It was interesting to discover that - even though I think my work has massively changed over the years - some sort of common thread has been running through my work: a love for comics and science fiction.
