If I only waited a couple more days it would have been one whole year since my last post here. Geez. What have I been doing? Lots of things, but mostly comics…abstract comics. I have not stopped creating Echelon images! The cycle of Echelon has come around. I think they are getting better and better. Yes the book will be coming out, now in November, and sadly I do not seem to be involved in the design mechanism for the mighty publisher. Everything is different now; size, format, design…. I can only hope for the best. In the meantime I have many many new Echelon works I hope to share in the coming days. There is nothing that can control my output of these beauties. Enjoy!

It’s Starting To Form
I am Starting to play around with some cover ideas, designs and images for the book, which is now scheduled to be out next spring 2024. I’ll continue to play around with it as we hash out the dimensions (I think it should be square) and the cover material. Will it be a soft or hard cover? Will there be foil stamping or embossing? How about all of the above! ??
I’ve chosen these three images for different reasons. They will each convey a different initial feeling response from the reader and the publisher, editor and I will have to figure out what we want.
The first one is more dynamic and explosive. The second is a bit quieter and is the first Echelon picture I made and kinda always thought this one would be the cover of the book if there ever was one. And the third image is very quiet, very meditative. I think all of these describe Echelon.

There is always a balance. I’m always thinking about old spacey cartoon shows I watched and psychedelic pop art I saw when I was a kid….....
