John and Dave are currently working together on two projects.
Monster Hunt, a series of Children's books for Penguin (USA) the first of which should be available this Autumn.
The Kaci Bell Mysteries, a newspaper style adventure strip which he and John plan to publish as both a daily web-comic and printed collection once the story is finished. At the time of writing over 100 episodes have already been drawn.
A collection of the Lazarus Lemming strips (that they created for the weekly DFC comic) is due to be "published" on the digital comics platform Comixology and their kid's book, Trick or Treat is still available from Amazon.
Check out these fantastic roughs they did for us. The final version is looking great but you'll have to wait for the comic to see it all.
