		<title>Conan&#8217;s Brethren</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just ordered my copy of Conan&#8217;s Brethren from Amazon, the companion volume to the previously released volume The Complete Chronicles of Conan, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
This new volume of course includes stories from some of Robert E. Howard&#8217;s lesser known (at least in comparison to Conan) characters, such as Solomon Kane, Kull, Bran Mak [...]]]></description>

		<title>R.I.P. Dave Simons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I found out today that Dave Simons, Conan art gallery contributor, artist extraordinaire, and all around nice guy, passed away last night due to complications from pnemonia&#8230; of course a relatively recent resurgence of his fight against cancer didn&#8217;t help matters either.  He was 54.
I never met Dave personally, but can attest to other [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tuesday Art Treats &#8211; Liam Sharp on Deviant Art</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Take some time to visit Liam Sharp&#8217;s Deviant Art gallery and you won&#8217;t be disappointed.  This guy has some of the coolest Conan, Red Sonya, and overall comic illustrations out there, including these two pieces, which are some of my favorites that he&#8217;s done.
Liam is currently illustrating the Gears of War series, based of course [...]]]></description>

		<title>Conan makes his way into the White House</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This has made the rounds a time or two in the Conan circuit. None the less, I think the Onion did a pretty good job on this article.  Obviously they&#8217;re referencing an article that came out a few weeks ago where President Obama professed to collecting Conan and Spider man comics.
If you&#8217;re a Conan fan, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tuesday Art Treats &#8211; Solomon Kane&#8217;s Savageness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you haven&#8217;t read any of Robert E. Howard&#8217;s Solomon Kane tales, then you&#8217;re missing out on what I consider to be some of his best stories.  Solomon Kane is also the figurehead of what I  consider Howard&#8217;s best poem, The One Black Stain, a splendid speciman of treachery, murder, and revenge.
In 2004, Del Ray [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Fresh Coat of Paint&#8230; Gallego/Buscema Style!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I approached Conan art gallery contributor Benito Gallego a few weeks ago about potentially doing a header for Border Kingdom, and he was happy to oblige the request.  I had had the former “work in progress” banner up there far too long, and the old size of the blog just wasn&#8217;t accommodating to some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Birthday Robert E. Howard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One hundred and three years ago today, Robert E. Howard was born.  Over the course of the next 30 years, Howard would punch out some of the most compelling, action-packed, and unquestionably inspirational stories ever written.  While most people are largely familiar with his fantasy works detailing the adventures of Conan (either directly, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tuesday Art Treats: Super Sexy Sonja</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I stumbled across this super sexy Red Sonja over at Kevin West&#8217;s gallery last week.  Sexy and deadly, as we often see her every time she&#8217;s drawn, but with the added touch of &#8220;WOW&#8221;.  This piece is probably in my top two Red Sonja pieces of all time. A little touch of blood [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tuesday Art Treats: The Creative Viking Illustrates Conan / Tributes Buscema and Howard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having hit up a number of comic book groups over the last few months for contributions to the Hyborian Age Art Gallery, I thought I&#8217;d take a different approach and start &#8220;googling&#8221; a few art/Conan/Hyborian related terms to see if I could find some other possible candidates for art contributions that I might miss if [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tuesday Art Treats: The Damndest Bastard There Ever Was&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My favorite portion from the movie adaptation of Novalyne Price&#8217;s exceptional Howard memoir One Who Walked Alone is when Vincent D&#8217;Onofrio is describing his character Conan to Novalyne. I found this particular scene from The Whole Wide World on YouTube.  Here it is in all its glory:

I loveto watch that part. That description is [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t want to name names, but you can expect to see a series of commissions coming up by an [...]]]></description>

		<title>First Ever Barbarian Award! And the winner is&#8230;</title>

Congratulations to Michael Phelps, for overcoming the odds and achieving what many thought was [...]]]></description>

		<title>My best comic picks of 2007/2008.. and a little bitty rant.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are a lot of crappy comics out there.  I consider myself somewhat easily amused, and overall, not that difficult to impress, but man, there are a LOT of crappy comics out there.  
Before getting into what comics I have enjoyed the most over the last 18 months, I should put a disclaimer [...]]]></description>

		<title>Born on the Battlefield: A Recreation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been away awhile, but I&#8217;ve had a good reason.  A few weeks ago my wife gave birth to our first child, a little boy.  We named him Thoth-Amon.  Ok ok&#8230; so not really.  While I did try to convince the wife that the middle name Robert would suite him, she saw through the ploy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Images of the Hyborian Age: Staz Johnson &#8211; Conan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Staz Johnson&#8217;s version of Conan  holds a particular fondness to me.  To start with, it&#8217;s the first piece of artwork I&#8217;ve ever solicited, and really it&#8217;s the piece that lit the fire under me to get Border Kingdom and the Images of Hyboria Gallery going.
Staz is one of a few artists that I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Images of the Hyborian Age: Winston Blakely &#8211; Hyrkanian Tracker</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are a couple of commissions that I&#8217;ve received so far that really take me back to the old Savage Sword of Conan days.  The first one that really took me back, probably because it&#8217;s likeness to Buscema, was Benito Gallego&#8217;s Streets of Shadizar   , the second one though, is Winston Blakely&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dave Simons is awesome. If I were a better man &#8211; at least with words &#8211; I would write him a song, or perhaps a poem, to express my feelings of gratitude for his exquisite portrayal of one of the roughest taverns this side of the Vilayt, the Maul. But while I&#8217;m told that I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I suppose it&#8217;s true of all art you see in a photograph or on the web &#8211; it&#8217;s simply more impressive in person.  That&#8217;s what my immediate thought was when I received Benito&#8217;s Streets of Shadizar  &#8230;   and don&#8217;t get me wrong either. It&#8217;s not that when I saw it after [...]]]></description>

		<title>Images of the Hyborian Age: Atula Siriwardane &#8211; Kushite Warrior</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Images of Hyborian Age project has started off with a thundering BANG and a commission that I simply couldn&#8217;t be happier with. Atula Siriwardane was one of the first artists commissioned for the project, and suffices to say, I think he met the task of doing justice to Howard&#8217;s Hyboria head on.
Since the time [...]]]></description>
