Working on Book Zero Wednesday August 8, 2007
I'm so behind. I meant to have the next Schlock book, "The Tub of Happiness" finished something like six months ago. But I'm only now finishing the coloring on the Bonus Story, and I'm still working on assembling a proper cover for it. Here's one of the cover elements. Since… Read more

This Saturday, April 27th, I'll be at the Writing For Charity event on UVU campus at the Sorenson Student Center. My appearance, thanks to the ongoing health issues, will be "wan and shaky," and kind of short. And maybe brief. I'm going to pill up and power up for a… Read more

Introducing Howard Tayler... DOT COM Saturday August 16, 2014
I know, I know... dot-coms are so "turn-of-the-century," so "last decade." Trends and missed boats notwithstanding, howardtayler.com is a thing now. It's the hub for all the stuff I do. It's like putting all of my eggs in one basket, only without the actual risk associated with dropping the basket.… Read more

Athens and Orlando entry, Hey, new readers! Welcome to Schlock Mercenary, where we're really NOT in the habit of killing off drop-dead gorgeous characters to make a buck, but where we're proving the truth in that tired saw "there's a first time for everything." Speaking of drop-dead gorgeous, there's a… Read more

Handin' Out Free Samples... Monday September 17, 2007

Scrapyard Recoloring is Done Wednesday February 4, 2009
Two hundred and thirty-three rows of comics, almost a thousand panels, nigh on twelve hundred different Photoshop layers... and it's finally all done. Lessons learned: 1) These take ten minutes each, but only if I decide I don't really care. 2) I really care. 3) Budgeting forty quick-and-dirty hours for… Read more

Tron Legacy Soundtrack: Made of Awesome Thursday December 9, 2010
I picked up the Tron Legacy soundtrack on iTunes yesterday, and it is wonderful. Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, AKA "Daft Punk" deliver some of their signature grooves, but also brilliantly mimic some of the best recent film scores from Hans Zimmer, Harry Gregson Williams, John Powell, Christophe Beck,… Read more

Wow. Today, June 12th of 2007, marks the seventh anniversary of the first appearance of Schlock Mercenary on the web.
