Thus WE have acted….or dreamed of it
Celebrated photographer, part-time prize fighter and dashing prince of friends Daniel Herbertson built this space for the few (those of us generally involved with comics and possibly other irrelevant, creative projects) who possibly needed a friendly kick in the genital area towards the direction of modern media exchange. I’ve been blessed with many talented friends- each with their own unique ability and substantial potential for more and endless forevers. Hopefully the lot of us will be updating this space with digital-devil trombones, announcing the return of The Bastards of The Infinite and all her cronies.
We had taken a brief vacation from the book, because of the common tragedies and missteps of contemporary living. I recently recovered from a lost wander through the slick, firefly, dog-eared streets of America (now having positioned myself back in urban Japan) and my brother in arms (Joseph Colt Tenney) has now returned with his life intact, from the old town of sliced (switchblades behind shell-stations) through hearts, infinitely the hopeful romantic, that one. “What good can two worthless, lofty drunks do in a quickly changing global economy and competitive “(f)art market?” I’ll tell you: We can team up and take arms with the incorruptible Sadie Rebecca Starnes, the absolute darling of the NYC visual arts community. With her tumbleweed heart at our side, I imagine we now resemble something not dissimilar to a bionic rhinoceros who’s dropped out of film school to fight crime and turn tricks in Central Park. Of course, he lies to his parents and tells them he’s working for a respectable production company in Arizona. “What?!?!?”
Let us fold our hands and pray that we can stick it to the void of non creation and draw out the sap…sweet syrup for yellow cakes and stories that will dazzle the children of the rhinoceroses to come after us, elbowing pathways through their own limitless hornedfaced futures and little children dance around, out near the cherry-red fire hydrants drinking pineapple soda pops in the pretty golden sun.

Comic – Amoral Tales 1 – Drank Zach Out of Jail
The slightly autobiographical Amoral Tales started off as a solo project back in 2006, straight from the mean, cigarette littered streets of Boone and Shell-town, NC. Realistic pencil magic from the shell-shocking mind of Eric Curran impressed the local indie comics scene in Carolina back in the early 200o’s, with his work on Super Ego.
This original four-pager was never printed, and follows the tale of anti-hero Zach D. and his unfortunate mishap with Johnny Law. Hopefully we’ll see more from Eric Curran in the future. Come back to us, Dr. Strangelove!
