For those of you who don&#8217;t know, he has been working on a comic book for a few years now.  He drew out a lot of work originally and then returned to it later and improved upon it.  All of this is his own original story and line work.  I think he&#8217;ll be doing the whole book in black and white.  Perhaps I will interview him later as this project develops and give you all a more in-depth look into his work.  Anyways, I wanted to give you a glimpse of the detailed work that he does and a look into the dark themes that often appear in his paintings and drawings.  The main character in this comic is a lizard man of sorts (reminiscent of the character in one of his paintings I wrote about before).  These are a few scenes of the lizard man out hunting.  There&#8217;s a whole respect for animals\/nature element to the story which will be flushed out as the book progresses.  Craig&#8217;s work is very tedious, so it takes him forever to complete one page.  However, I&#8217;ll be sure to cover this book some more in the future as he adds to it (and sends more photos!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was trying to come up with an apt title for this post&#8230; I mentioned my brother&#8217;s (Craig) artwork before in one of my older posts.
