I’ve been cleaning up the C: drive lately and came across this gem. This is a one-page proposal for the ‘December Sun Pharmaceutical Sell-Out Issue’! Tongue planted firmly in cheek, I wondered what tactic I would take to craft an absolutely soul-less issue of December Sun designed to market FDA-approved drugs. I would completely lose what little integrity I possess, but on the positive side, I bet I could get December Sun published as a serial within Readers Digest!
Of course this was all just an exercise in jest, although I think this does have some potential…

‘Dad’s Toenail’ is a very silly book written by my old friend Andy Watson, that I had the honor of illustrating. It tells the slightly gross account of a Dad who loses his toenail during an incident with a gourd vine, and following this, explores the strange and disturbing ideas for usages of the toenail proposed by the family.
Anyhow, we had originally published this book and listed it with Lulu, one of those sites for people who haven’t been picked up by a publisher, but who still want to see their work published. But what’s strange, and unexpected, is that now the title was somehow, strangely, listed with Amazon! I’m not sure how this happened, but hey, more publicity.
Another note about the toebook: I used to have a cheap site for it on a geocities page, but because Yahoo! is ditching geocities, I just moved it to a new, improved site (basically, I just nestled it under the DSCOMIC domain where it is less likely to vanish.) The new url is: http://www.dscomic.com/dadstoenail/dadstoenail.html.
As of this writing, there’s plenty of info there about the book and how to order it, but no preview pages yet. I hope to get those uploaded shortly. Check it out: it was a very fun book to do the illustrations for.
