Even though issue 7 has only been out for a month, the machine elves at Aureus Press have managed to put together a spooky Halloween Special! I’m still LARPing as a writer, so inside you’ll find another short story by me, as well as ten (!) of my illustrations.
Here’s another illustration from Aegeon 7, for the short story ‘The Moment’ by Wolf Vormelker. In it, two future archeologists discover the significance of a single moment in history.
A slightly suggestive illustration for the short story ‘Special Cargo’ by Bruce Pendragon, appearing in Aegeon issue 7. You can probably tell I got the idea for it during my summer holiday at the beach. Lots of long hatching on this one, but it was worth it in the end I think. Check it out in the shop.
This is the first page from the 6-page comic ‘The Zone’ written and lettered by Brendan M. P. Heard, and drawn by me. It appeared in Aegeon issue 7. This was my first foray into the medium of comics, and a great learning experience.
My second illustration from Aegeon 7, for the short story ‘Tommy’ by A.J.Bell. In it, Tommy finds a guitar that’s more than it seems at first glance. Even though it’s not accurate to the story, (the guitar in it looks like a cheap Flying V knockoff) I saw it as an opportunity to exercise my elaborate doodling technique. Prints and other kinds of merch are available in the shop. Taken down from my shop by Gibson, because obviously this is not transformative or anything.
This is the illustration for my own short story ‘Planned Obsolescence’ published in Aegeon 7 by the Aureus Press. Maurizio, a young engineer seeks to find out why his AI-designed microwave had strange, extraneous parts inside.
After what seems like half an eternity, Aegeon issue 7 is finally out! This time I’ve contributed not only the cover and five illustrations, but also a 6-page comic (written by Brendan). I’m also pleased to announce that the first story I’ve written since high school was not only published, but got the feature spot.
