COMING IN SPRING 2008!

In Local Heroes: Monkey Business, Squire from the Local Heroes online comic (at www.localheroes.us) tries to help babysit for his leader's pet monkey, Plethora, but things go hilariously wrong! Releasing in Spring 2008, Local Heroes: Monkey Business will be a comic-sized coloring book that includes all the strips of that appeared online from strip 89 to strip 123—that's every strip in storyline 6.

In December 2006, William Bazillion announced his expedition to the Arctic, with the intention of recovering some long-missing Nazi gold. By the spring of 2007, William and his crew set forth for Svalbard, the site of the Doomsday Seed Vault.

As a matter of fact, the two most major plot devices in William Bazillion right now involve Svalbard's Doomsday Seed Vault and the search for Nazi gold.

Hi all. I've posted a couple more things I'd like to sell. To everyone who bought an art piece last time, thank you SO MUCH, I really appreciated it. Here's a few more: A couple original pieces, some fanart, plus two of the three pieces I listed before I've reduced in price in hopes that they'll sell.
