For those who missed my last post, The Year is Now is out and available on Lulu.com! You can read about it here.

Babylon 5 meets The Slayers  Psi Cop Xellos is working with the Shadows *gasp!*  Elly from The Year is Now as an anime character.    Alfred Bester from Babylon 5    I redrew an old self-insert Slayers character I had created 10 years ago, and this was the result.   Oh my! Bester and Talia, what are you two doing!?   Wooden peg doll Xellos is ready to beam up.
