Current Hotness The Top Shelf Seasonal Sampler 2008 is here. Pick one up as soon as you can to see a four page preview of the new bok by J.D. Arnold (that's right the, the man who put the "J" in J-Roy). B.B. Wolf and the 3 LP's won't be out until 2009, so in the meantime, pick up a seasonal and salivate over the few pages we get.

Oliphant's Pictosquare Extraordinare #3
by Oliphant through Haupt

Haupt here.
Oliphant has allowed his own website to slip into dissuse and nonexistence. We here at the Going Train do not want the internet to be free of his awesome imageries so we have now teamed up to make Going Train the official online home of Oliphant! How exciting, right?

In honor of this I want to present one of my favorite Oliphant pieces. It is the "Eater of Mans", and I think the explanation should be pretty obvious. Oliphant has said that the inspiration for this character came from the epic hero myth of Beowulf, specifically the Grendel, also an eater of mans. Hope you enjoy it!
