The Hard Words For Hard Times Blog: Orlando Baez Concept Art!

Hi!

My name is Stephen Nelson. I have some stories to tell, and some great and talented friends to help me tell them. If you like a strange story, if you enjoy a twisted tale, sit down, stay a while, and listen! Someday soon, we hope to transform our stories into comics which you may purchase, so as to bear happily home to you demented domiciles.

You might not want to let Mom see them, though.

Projects my friends and I are currently conspiring on include my macabre fantasy adventure/comedy Rat's Tooth, Rita Gorgoni's awesome Dark Fantasy tale, Iron Head, and The Children of Pollut Un Roone, a dark fantasy tale written by myself, illustrated by Stefano Cardoselli, and set in the incredible fantasy world of Brom Kah, created by Garrett Adderly!

So please come in, look around, and we hope you enjoy our Stories! Unpleasant Dreams!

Thanks go out to lots of folks, including Alex Johns, who designed the logo you see above for me!

Orlando Baez Concept Art!

Round about last Christmas, I got a great present from Orlando Baez, who dumped a huge number of fantastic character studies into my mailbox, all within the space of just a few days. This pretty much rounded out our Rat's Tooth concept art project, which Stefano Cardoselli had started with us. We were very happy to have Orlando climb on board with us and the mighty Azurek studios.

We currently plan for Orlando to pencil and ink one 12 pg chapter in each issue of Rat's Tooth, and we are searching high and low for a colorist to work on his pages. Enjoy Orlando's work and stay tuned...
