The Crow - Special Edition

The Crow - Special Edition

Don't be confused by the name. This is the previously promised "Author's Edition." The publishing company decided that "Special Edition" would sell better. At this time, we haven't heard if there will be a hardback edition. If you'd really like to see a hardback edition, you can ask about it here. That's where it matters.

James has set aside a few to be signed and sold on the eBay store. I'll let you know when they go up.

Jeff Jones Memorial Mural

Hello, folks. As some of you may know my father's best friend and peer passed away 2 weeks ago, and here is the mural James O'Barr and I did for Jeff Jones yesterday on Clarion Alley in SF.  It came out really nice, and we summoned Jeff's spirit for the project as it is taken from one of his master works. It was blocked in with spray can and finished with brushes and acrylics. It took 6 hours. The mural will appear in Jeff's documentary coming out later this year. RIP Jeff.
We will miss you dearly, 
Mark  Bode

PS Want something to laugh at while you pass the time for the next four months? Log in to Facebook and check this out: Someone wants The Crow reboot to be directed by Tim Burton. Seriously. Wow. Can you imagine Erik breaking out into song while he breaks necks? Maybe Tim could even get Johnny Depp to play Erik Draven! Wouldn't that just be... ugh. Captain Jack Draven.
