My Reply to receiving this wonderful art unexpectedly. James Anderson creates the perpetually awesome strip Ellie on Planet X
Hello James
As an amateur cartoonist I enjoy discovering other cartoonist work and seeing all the different voices out there. Once in a while you discover an artist and his comic strip that is a true treasure, unique and captivating both in art, and voice! Your work is one of those rare gems Jim, and I am truly honoured by this guest art. It is beautiful! It captures cuddly,mischievous charm, all at once! Thanks for this unexpected gift , I want to hang this up in my living room!
Sincerely, your honoured student in this medium

Untold Tales of Bigfoot is a comic story that I just discovered when I started talking to it’s creator Vince Dorse in a Art collective we are both apart. Vince Dorse is creating a beautiful story with wonderful art work that transports you into a lush land. Bigfoot is a sweet higher primate in search of a friend, the search is captured with talented camera shots and sincerity in its art. Dorse is in control of every panel he draws, and he draws with confidence. I highly recommend Untold Tales of Bigfoot.
We exchanged fan art and I love the piece he sent me. It so atmospheric and deep, something I try to capture in Road Apples and it is done to perfection here. Shep and Aldous are wonderfully drawn and it was a joy to see them done in Vince’s clean style. You can see my fan art at Vince’s site Untold Tales of Bigfoot.
How lucky am I that David Scott Smith of Space Base 8 unexpectedly sent me this just beautiful painting of my main three guys Aldous, Shep, and Doc. Wow, I just love it. Who wouldn’t! It’s so dimensional and expressive. Now if I can only get him to send me the original!
After almost 5 years of appearing for free on the web, the very first book of ICECUBES the comic strip is finally going to be printed! The book will be awesome, 100+ pages, full color offset (not digital!) landscape format, featuring almost 200 strips with bonus pages full of behind the scenes drawings and sketches. Leroy is funding it thru Kickstarter and I’m reaching out to everyone I know to pitch in to help reach the full funding.
As you know Kickstarter will only fund the project if the total amount is reached, otherwise everyone gets their money back and the book is not funded. So it’s all or nothing! The deadline is Feb. 29. All the money raised goes straight into printing and shipping the book. Everyone who pledges gets rewards starting at $5 on up to $100. $15 is the base price for a numbered copy of the book and $25 for a signed copy. You can pre-order your copy for a dollar off the cover price before Feb. 29 here.
