Hrmm, seems I’ve entered and run second in yet another internet contest. Cool. Duane Swierczynski (who needs little explanation here, right?) was running a contest on his site for people to take photos of themselves as some of the characters he writes. Two of them were female so I chose the one guy, Charlie Hardie. [...]

I hack on about Justin Greenwood because he’s a great artist, he truly is. Nearly everything I see him do I like and I can only hope that his star will continue to rise. Recently, he’s been working on some commissions for paying fans and the results have been pretty awesome. His style works really [...]

The genius known as Francesco Francavilla has decided to honour the end of LOST by having LOST week, which is now spilling out a bit longer than the week he had planned. Francavilla is a master at giving a character a pulp/noir definition in his work and he plots the image around them so that [...]

It’s not often I find something on the streets that I enjoy. Usually it’s just crappy spray paint and poorly weeded edges but the other day I was walking the dog and I finally saw this under a bridge that I nearly daily travel under. I don’t know how long this image had been there, [...]

Sometimes you just don’t have time to say I love you, but you can still show it. There’s a great artist online a name of Mike Henderson and recently he put up a Daredevil V Shang-Chi commission and I really dig it. His Matt Murdock has a bit of a Phil Hester feel to it [...]

Sometimes you just don’t have time to say I love you, but you can still show it. The boys at Eclectic Micks have done me happy again as Declan Shalvey draws Daredevil. Click the image to see a larger version. This is a pretty well composed page, plenty of room for the title print and [...]

Sometimes you just don’t have time to say I love you, but you can still show it. Stephen King is releasing a new book just before Christmas, how fortuitous. It’s called Full Dark, No Stars. Kind of an emo title, but I’m sure King will make it all so much more awesome. There will be [...]

There are certain names you want to live forever. But that can’t happen. I can remember being a younger little man and Roald Dahl passing away. It was terrible news, it meant that every title on my shelf was all I was ever going to get from him. Sure, they published The Minpins posthumously, but [...]

I’m reading Clive Barker’s Abarat to my class. I never thought I’d get the chance to read Clive Barker to little kids so I am relishing this opportunity. And they’re digging it, from all accounts. To kick it off, I did an art lesson based on the opening lines of the book: The storm came [...]

It’s the end of the year and I got a lotta problems with you people, and now you’re gonna hear about them. Yes, I’m celebrating Festivus, as usual, and the feat of strength is to find a top entrant for each arbitrary aspect of the year I feel like grieving about. Well, what are we [...]
