I designed a poster for a friend's bar. Got to draw a robot climbing out of the ground! I had an image of an old pulp sci-fi novel in my head as the inspiration.

The book is self-published through lulu.com. If you decide to order it through them, they will ship it after your order is placed. You could also hit me up with and email and a check for $15 and I will send you out one with a drawing!
