Super Powered Fiction has a new home!

 I've ran my complete catalog of work from this site for several years and while blogger offers a lot of nifty features, I've wanted to make the switch to a professional website again for well over a year. I'm proud to announce that day has come. Introducing: NicholasAhlhelm.com.

This will be the last post on this page, but a new blog rises from the ashes at the site. It will feature approximately weekly updates about my work, other works I enjoy, the process of writing and much more. So please update any bookmarks and blog aggregates accordingly. For those using site feed readers or email services, you can link direct to the blog's rss with the following address:

Great Art: Ash by Michel Fiffe!

 As a backer of Copra artist Michel Fiffe over on his Patreon, I am signed up for a tier that gets original art on an annual basis. With everything I've been diving into as a celebration of 1990s independent comics, it seemed only fitting to use this year's headshot for a rendition of one of the pre-eminent figures of that movement. 

Looking through my stack of comics, I realized only one hero really stood out for a great visual as a simple profile shot. Though he hasn't appeared for over twenty years, Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti's Ash was a character and comic with a ton of unrealized potential brought to an end by Quesada's path to the Marvel editor-in-chief position. Yet I still have a ton of love for the character so he won out as my top choice for new art.

And I couldn't be happier with the result! 


If you're interested in getting your own Fiffe art, sign up for his Patreon on January 1st! With a full year as a backer at the higher tiers, you can get superb work like this to enjoy!
