Warren Ellis (on whose wonderful swear-filled blog I found the link) was particularly taken with this one: […]

Look at this…!

Check out this stunning piece of Black Tat-inspired art by Kestrel, 13, of Chandler, Arizona: Isn’t it gorgeous? When people use my stories as a jumping off point to create special new things of their own, that makes me very happy. If The Black Tattoo or Tim, Defender of the Earth have inspired you, then […]
