Currently under development, this is the new website for artist Evan Derian. I am an illustrator, writer and graphic designer. My main focus is developing graphic novels and related artwork and merchandise. I publishe my comic art under the name Deadcity Comics. I do graphic design work through Monarchy Design and Illustration LLC, and I'm currently developing a line of merchandise and wearables called Useless Garbage. This website is being developed as an access to my various projects as well as my thoughts and ideas about a lot of other crap. It will be constantly changing and evolving as I am constantly dissatisfied and always changing.

I'm conforming. Not on one thing in particular but several things I've been working on lately. I'm drifting toward how I "should" be doing things instead of just blatantly doing whatever the fuck I want. More often, then not, "whatever the fuck I want" leads to better results. At least where artwork is concerned.

No parade... nothing. Feels like Christmas was scheduled to come and then, at the last minute, Santa cancelled. So close to a Stanley Cup. Detroit could've used some cheer. Back to work. Hopefully some in-store signings coming soon.

Last minute ticket to game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Man, did I enjoy Detroit blowing the doors off of Pittsburgh and the brats Malkin and Crosby. Lots of fun. Lots of chanting "Crosby SUCKS".... hoping for a parade soon... fingers crossed

Oh man, did I enjoy this 3 day weekend. Sometimes some solitude and your art is all you need to make the world seem right again. Back to the real world tomorrow. Back to everyone elses bullshit.
