Mister Eye

I picked up Manga Studio recently for cheap, during their San Diego Comic Con sale - and threw this together while I was mucking about with it. Line art in MS, colours in Photoshop. For no reason whatsoever.

Harveys, Robots and more...

Hello! I'm interrupting a holiday here to bring you news, so I'll be brief - but I thought it was worth mentioning that I glommed a couple of Harvey Awards over the weekend, one for "Special Award for Humor" for The Muppet Show Comic Book (that's the one in the picture, being held by Boom! Studios' head honcho Ross Richie), and one for 'Best Writer" (!) for Thor: The Mighty Avenger. (Delighted to see my Thor collaborator Chris Samnee get a gong for his contribution as well.) So there's that. It's all anticlimax from here on in, folks!

Also worth sharing: Sonny Liew's Malinky Robot is out later today. Apart from just being a terrific book, it's got a pinup by me in it, which was great fun to do.

And last but very far from least, I'd like to draw your attention to the fact that Dylan Williams, publisher of Sparkplug Comics, is having health issues and needs some cash to deal with them. Please consider going to Sparkplug Comics' website and picking up some books. Your support could make a hell of a difference.

Shoes, Ships and Sealing-Wax

Snarked! #0 is out in stores tomorrow! Launching concurrently with the new series, may I direct your attention to SnarkIsland.com, which for the duration of the series will be dedicated to all things Snarked! - the site is up and running at the moment, but you can expect more content to be rolled out as the series progresses.

Anything big regarding the series will continue to be announced here at the Hotel Fred; SnarkIsland.com is more of a portal to Snarked-specific content, like character descriptions and themed desktops and so forth, as well as a way for people to send mail to the comic. It's sort of like a complement to the letters page which will appear in the print version.

Anyway - all very exciting. Lock up your oysters - The Walrus is IN!
