I have the good fortune to be friends with a number of wildly talent folks. One of them is fellow by the name of Gareth Hinds , an illustrator who has done a number of graphic novel adaptations of great works of literature. You may have seen his Beowulf , or Bearskin . You probably haven’t seen his soon to be published King Lear.

Gareth has recently entered an agreement with Candlewick Press. They will soon be releasing a new edition of his Beowulf and other new projects

Gareth is casting one of those upcoming projects, and asked me to sit for him as a possible model for a small part. The image on left leads to the full scan of the quick test. I hope I make the cut!

Now don’t just sit there, go check out his work!
