Inspired to sketch the HOUND after watching the season 6 trailer of Game of Thrones.
Fingers crossed he's NOT dead. He's one badd ass hombré!!!



I was fortunate enough to work on The Ricky Gervais Show this past year as a Animator and Designer. We had a powerhouse team of creative people working on the show at Wild Brain. The 1st season has been doing really well and HBO has ordered a 2nd season from what I heard. Will the 'Old Crew' be rejoined is a BIG question........Cheers to the 2nd season fellas and gals!!! =)
Been reading several books on Detroit's infamous gang, "The Purple Gang", and others when America went dry and prohibition was law in Detroit's dark corrupt days. Growing up in the Downriver area south of Detroit I heard countless tales of how they would smuggle booze across the Detroit River. It's amazing how much bootlegging was going on from Detroit to Wyandotte all the way down to Lake Erie. From Canada to Michigan about 80% of illicit booze crossed the river, much of it operated by organized crime, if not you were playing Russian roulette with your life if you were caught by these ruthless thugs.



left to right: Yours truly (the new hobit hero), JACK COLMAN (Mr. Bennet), MIKE JACKOBSON, GREG GRUNBERG (Matt Parkman), SENDHIL RAMAMURTHY (Mohinder Suresh), & DEVON ROTH.On our last houseboat trip last April in Tennessee we tied up in a cove to protect ourselves from high winds. Little did we know that 4 tornados touched down in the local area and 40 people died in a neighboring county.
This picture was taken early in the morning before the storm hit. A short hike up the hill from where the boat was tied up we discovered this find, an abandoned moonshine distillery. As you can see in the bed of this old Chevy is the brewing tank. The tank was tipped over after someone hacked it up with an axe. Beautiful find!
