He will be featured in the World Wildlife Federation of Justice

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure if I&#8217;m ready to tell you what this is for. But I can tell you that I&#8217;m having a lot of fun with it. This is a very preliminary sketch. Stylistic inspirations: Mike McMahon, Jamie Hewlett, Bruce Timm, and yes, Frank Miller (hate his writing, love his drawing).
Though it doesn&#8217;t look it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slow Day = Miniature Browsing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It&#8217;s dead at work so I&#8217;m browsing gaming mini websites.

They also have lots of cool steampunk robots and post-apocalyptic terrain. One of my favourites is the ingenius &#8217;soda can topper&#8217;:
Upside down soda/soft drink cans look cool as storage tanks, but what do you do [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think the Thickets made a milestone today, as other bands are now referencing us in their descriptions&#8230;
“Forming a strong union between the directness of boogie metal with intimations towards ’70s fuzz, à la Thin Lizzy, yet updated and with vocal sensibilities that recall Vancouver’s Darkest Of The Hillside Thickets, Montreal’s Barn Burner accomplish much [...]]]></description>
