Unresolved parental issues, John Wayne impersonators and untreated trauma cases. That's your unit, alright.

It’s great to be on a podcast that I was already listening to, and with hosts who know how to do their research.  On my visit to Spawn On Me, we got into it about all kind of things.  Like what's a good fishing spot in NYC, the lost games of Snoop Dogg, and, oh yeah, The Church in the Darkness.  Also I think "Rouse in the Darkness" is a pretty fantastic name for an episode, right?  

Was caught off guard during the interview when Shareef started talking about his memories of Damage Incorporated and the Preacher character specifically. See, I've been putting preachers in games for a very long time now...

Did you know Iron Maiden cover artist Derek Riggs did the cover art for my first game, Odyssey?  Yeah, I still kinda can't believe it myself.

As it turned out it was as simple as calling him up, asking his rate (which wasn't that much) and paying him.  He was really nice, super humble, and very easy to work with.  I still have the original painting hanging on my wall.   Those fingernails!

If you're interested:  I recently updated my web site with some info on the first two games I published, made for the Mac way back in the late '90s - Odyssey and Damage Incorporated.
