They strongly resemble the style I used for Wandering Koala rides the Phantom Coach. I always really liked the style, but felt it was too harsh and didn't have enough life and character to it. So I've incorporated elements from my Raw Umber style. I love it, but it can be a little boring to look at a series of images in it. http://atouchofjeff.blogspot.com/2012/01/concept-sketch-striking-at-night.html Wed, 25 Jan 2012 12:45:00 -0600 concept art There is a real tongue-in-cheek style that manages to poke fun at the business sector and large companies in general without appearing rude or derogatory and there are some really positive messages about monopoly, greed, corruption and profiteering that manages to hit the nail on the head. http://sfbook.com/power-trip.htm Tue, 24 Jan 2012 12:45:00 -0600 book reviews We've got novels, short stories, novellas, and comics available for your new computers, tablets, eReaders, and smartphones. http://www.WanderingKoala.com/stories.php Wed, 28 Dec 2011 12:45:00 -0600 science fiction When Brent gets down because of so many taking Christ out of Christmas, the Wandering Koala takes matters into his own hands and shows his friends how they can take actiona and put Christ back in Christmas instead of waiting around for others to do it. http://www.WanderingKoala.com/comic0011.php Fri, 9 Dec 2011 12:45:00 -0600 Christmas comics What does "Saving Christmas" really means.

It’Äôs an adventure, technically speaking, but there was a wry half-smile in my lips all the time. Mr Thomason did pulp just as Terry Pratchett does fantasy: with a jaded, not-hidden-in-the-least streak of humor and criticism that added layers and layers of enjoyment to the whole experience." http://roncnofficial.blogspot.com/2011/09/review-power-trip-by-jeff-thomason.html Wed, 07 Sep 2011 12:45:00 -0600 book reviews And right now they have it discounted!
