So this week the bookmarks for THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE KING arrived. I was originally only going to do three, but Stephanie and Meredith’s illustrations were so great I had to do six. They are AWESOME.

Matte finish so they don’t get a million fingerprints, huge thanks to @erinjadelange for turning me onto Next Day Flyers for these!

Oh, and here’s the obligatory do you have THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE KING yet? If not, buy HERE (for Kindle) and HERE (for Nook and iPad Compatible). Also, I’m going to be...

I think all of us that dabble in comics know how awesome the idea of “fan art” and “reinterpreting characters” is, so with that in mind I commissioned the fantastic Meredith McClaren to do portraits of Bonnie and Lola for me. These are of course going to look different than Stephanie’s interpretations – and Ross’s – but that’s part of what I love about them. You saw a Bonnie by Meredith a couple days ago, but here is her Lola, which I LOVE. And I think it’s an awesome contrast to Stephanie’s...

This one I commissioned from the sublime Meredith McClaren and it’s from an early scene with Bonnie. Funnily enough, this was a scene I never liked the ending to, and which I rewrote at the last moment when I was posting pages during the Kickstarter. It was a rewrite that really made the scene work – and then I got this amazing image of it from Meredith! EVERYONE WINS!

Enjoy.

If you don’t already have the book – buy! buy! buy!

If you’ve already read the book – review! review! review!

I’ve been meaning to post about this very cool event MIX 2012 sponsored by Columbus College of Art & Design for a long while now, but have been so swamped that now I look at my calendar and it is upon us!

So it’s terribly late notice for those of you not in the area, but if you are in the area, you really should consider attending this amazing new event organized by the Columbus College of Art & Design and featuring two days of symposiums, a 24-hour comics marathon, and an exhibition. The sche...

Less horrifying mouths, some VERY cool shit, some stupid shit…yup it’s comics as usual folks!

AGE OF APOCALYPSE. There’s some nice illustration here, but the super realistic style really draws attention to how fucking ridiculous Jean’s costume is. I mean…REALLY?
