It means a lot to me that he touched so many people’s lives in such a positive way.
IWYS was a passion and an inspiration to him. He was dedicated to making each issue the best one, excited about showcasing artists he respected and admired, as well as those he was just discovering. He had an enthusiasm for this project that never waned. I used to love when he was getting ready to put together a new issue, he would get so excited planning every little detail…. it was all important to him.

I appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding in the delay of shipping on IWYS 9. I will start sending them out next week when my sister is here to help me with them… I don’t anticipate that this will be an easy task for me, but it is important to me to get them out as soon as possible… I know Ryan would be eager to get everyone’s copy to them and to hear what people thought. So I will try my best to do the same.

They were driving through a storm when Ryan’s car left the road and struck a tree. Declan, secured in his car seat, made it through with minor cuts and bruises. Ryan died on impact.

Ryan was a wonderful husband and the most devoted father I have ever seen. I cannot not begin to imagine our lives without him….

I know that he has many friends out there and I wanted to let everyone know what happened. Right now there is so much to deal with that I am struggling to keep it all moving…. but when I can I will set to honoring his commitments involving I Want Your Skull and its related blog. Right now I am focused on our son and trying to understand the unfathomable.

“With the fury that is SDCC upon us soon, thoughts travel back to last year’s epic SDCC unveiling of Mike Sutfin‘s MAD BATTLE MAN figure, which at the time was still in progress and cast in polycarbonate. Then, it was only a short time ago at WonderCon, that I was sworn to secrecy. That is, since I was one of the lucky ones (there wer 5 people total!) to get a hands-on glance and drool over the first WHITE prototype! We’re talking a real PROTOTYPE here….the first vinyl pull from the newly minted MAD BATTLE MAN mold. Ah, the elixir that vinyl & steel aroma holds for the sinuses of this vinyl junkie.”







Mad Battle Man is produced by the awesome dudes at Reckless Toys with help from the other awesome dudes at Big Shot Toyworks who did the “sculpting” from Mike’s initial drawing completely on a 3D modeling program.


Look for it at SDCC this year!

Stix and Jones created this customized pit bull skull for the A Mute of Hounds show at Gallery Meltdown.







“Gallery Meltdown is very excited to present “A Mute of Hounds”, a show of dog inspired art work by 50 amazing artists, to benefit the dogs of Downtown Dog Rescue. 20% of all sales of artwork will be donated to Downtown Dog Rescue.


The Downtown Dog Rescue (DDR) is the only program in California, and possibly the United States, specifically founded to assist homeless dog owners spay/neuter, vaccinate, license their dogs, as well as offer a variety of services including crisis care for the life of the dog. Each year Downtown Dog Rescue assists in rescuing over 300 dogs, mostly American Pit bull Terriers and other Power Breeds that often die in the shelters mostly due to unresolved behavioral issues. Each dog we rescue is socialized with other dogs, evaluated for aggression, sterilized, vaccinated and micro-chipped before the dog is adopted out.”
