The Funnies
We Fought in the War
Things have been so busy busy busy (busy) around here lately. I guess the first order of business is to point out that the preceding image (as well as the following) are all going to be a part of this exhibit. Portland, Maine friends should probably keep the 6th of February clear if they are interested in going to the opening.

Comfort Feuds
Cat 'Stache Fever!
A cleaned up version of an old favorite. I prefer the guy's expression in this one.
The Alchemist
Incidentally, this is the first of THREE shows I am working on right now. I am enjoying myself immensely and even experimenting a bit with things (expect some paintings on wood in the not too distant future), but my story ideas for my comics are getting really restless. There's not much space in my head, so I expect they'll come spilling out sooner rather than later.

Bleh, enough of the personal exposition. How is everybody doing?

I love the cat moustache one! I'd really love to be able to see you work on an illustration some day, I feel like I could really learn a lot from you and your techniques!

I'm doing pretty well, thanks! Things are a bit slow on the freelance front, but I've got quite a few other projects and gallery shows to keep me busy making things. I have a bit of a sore throat though, so I really hope it doesn't get worse, I hate being sick!

Thanks Rosemary! I'm pretty sure there's nothing I can teach you that you yourself aren't already awesome at, but I still maintain that an art trade would be nice.

And I was sick about a week ago, so I feel your pain. I hope you get better!

Yes! ART TRADE! Let's do that now! Or at least start on it now!

Should we do some kind of theme for our trade? Or just anything goes? Email me your mailing address at travale@gmail.com

Woo! Thanks!

And thank you for the copy of the Billuminati! It sat on Julianna and Rebecca's coffee table for three days or so before Rebecca remembered that it was for me. I gazed at it longingly all the while, and was surprised and elated to discover that it was my very own.

It's better to be working on too much than too little! These are all great illustrations, I'm looking forward to the comics as well!

Too true, sir. Too true. Thank you, and I hope not to disappoint on the comics front.

I would like a magical acorn pendant, come to think of it. And your kitchen is quite conducive to making the artworks.

This is my jam:

Two things:

A) That stockinged leg sticking out of the dust cloud in the first image is adorable for some reason.

2) That last image looks very fantasy in nature. Has Graham Kahler returned to random fantasy illustrations like he did in days long past?

A two part reply:

A response to A) Thank you. I'm quite partial to the painting within the painting myself.

A response to 2) My dark and tragic fantasy past (which dovetails so specifically with your own) was never so dark or so tragic that I would abandon it completely. That said, the subject is not fantastic, merely of a slightly earlier time then I am used to painting.

Also, I'll kill you.
