This is the feed for my blog. I update the blog... occasionally? What's a phrase for "Not Terribly Frequently" that makes me sound busy rather than lazy? "When the mood strikes?", "As time allows?", "Every fortnight?" Hmmm.
I update the blog as much as I can. I'm writing, you know.
I’m thrilled we were finally able to show off the cover of Underwater Fistfight this week. It’s a fun collection and I enjoyed getting it ready for print. But… What’s the deal with that title? Well, I love movies and the poems in this collection…
The Blog of Francesco Mugnai is always an interesting place to check in. Why? For stuff like this picture of a sculpture by Lorenzo Quinn.
Check this out. It’s the cover to my book, Odd Men Out. THE COVER Awesome, no? I’m still in awe of how cool it looks. Such amazing detail. I couldn’t be happier. The wonderful artist, Bradley Sharp, managed to fit in so much from the story…

I love this poster for the 1968 film “Destroy All Monsters”. There are several others out there, but this one has that great 50s/60s vibe and just oozes chaos. Godzilla attacks New York! Rodan devastates Moscow! Manda obliterates London! and Mothra smashes Peking! EVERYONE is…
There is a great collection of steampunk images and links over here. Lots of terrific and inspiring stuff!
There are a metric ton of cool robots in this post over at Naldz Graphics. The post is called 40+ beautiful robot characters and gathers stuff from a bunch of different artists. This one in particular is by blarynog.
I’ve given up on making excuses as to why I can’t get my Wednesday update posted somewhere around, I don’t know, Wednesday. Things happen, right? Call the the Mid-ish Week Update if that keeps you from throwing things. The book couldn’t be going better. I…
I bought a pretty cool print at a festival recently. The artist is Adam Brouillette. I stupidly haven’t taken a picture of the work I bought and it’s too big to scan. I’ll get to it. Meanwhile, check out some of his work from his…
