9/11
September 11, 2001, Jeff and Vijaya had just arrived in Norway for a comics festival in Bergen. Illustrating the experience of what it was like to be far from home that day, these original art pieces were donated to the “9-11: Emergency Relief” graphic novel which was a fundraiser for the American Red Cross.

Jeff’s Inspiration for RASL
“Science fiction and noir. RASL came out of my love for these genres. Some of my favorite authors are Arthur C. Clarke, Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler. I also watch a lot of noir film classics like The Maltese Falcon and The Big Sleep.”

THORN: 5/5 Stars on Goodreads!
Thank you, Greg for your nice review on Goodreads for THORN:
“Fascinating to see how well developed the characters and story were in these original college versions. Also interesting to see some different styles like political cartooning, breaking the fourth wall, etc. great collection and additional material.”
