It has indeed been a while since I have been able to blog on here, which upsets me as I would look forward to doing it everyday, sometimes multiple times a day, and about various subjects of varying levels of stupidity.

But today, marking my return to the blogosphere (is that the term?) I have something a little more important, and while I’ve done a pretty conscious job of keeping my comic and the band separate, today I’m posting about an auction for a limited Umbrella Academy signed hardcover, with an inked sketch I did of Spaceboy.

This auction is for a friend battling cancer and there are other auctions tied to this one, including some really rare MSI cd’s, and some original art by my wonderful wife that appeared in the Projekt Revolution “Revolution Unseen” art book.

So I’m going to put a link here and hopefully it works, if it does not just search Ebay for “Umbrella Academy” and you will find it…

Thanks, and more blogs to come,
