My friend Joe ( :iconjosephlsilver: ) needs help, someone stole his card and went on a bit of a spending spree.  He's having troubling making rent so he's doing commissions right now.  Joe's a brilliant inker and his washes are just gorgeous, please give it a look ubermorte.deviantart.com/

Just got the news that worst may have happened.

www.abcactionnews.com/content/…

Not the "worst" I was expecting, but still, what the hell?

Friend posted another article about the case.
www.tampabay.com/news/publicsa…

Finding out a little more about what the situation is with Steve's son and his ex-wife. Friend's worried about the boy, according to his letters apparently Steve was more afraid of his ex than his roommates when it came to his kid.  

I feel a little sick.

EDIT

Perry's e-mails have been sent to the police, actions of the mother of his kid come to light.

Doing that hermit thing again, sorry 'bout that.

Before I get into what's been going on I'd like put it out there that Steve Perry needs help.  The man of Thundercats and Silverhawks fame was diagnosed with bladder cancer last year.  The man's been through hell, he has no insurance and the stories I've gotten through one of my teachers are nothing short of horrifying. The sort of scary that makes your guts go all cold and shrivel up inside of you.  Steve Bissette's blog has the information if you want to send a little help his way.

And more of the story here:

srbissette.com/?p=9002

To help out from my end I got a small pad of bristol (5.25"x8.5") with six pages left begging for graphite and ink.  So, six slots open for commission, $15 a piece ($20 if you want color). All goes to Perry.

Drop me a note if you're interested.

(Still alive, just being a hermit. Sorry 'bout that)
