Freakangels

Warren Ellis and Paul Duffield are still putting out one of the best free webcomics each friday. FREAKANGELS. Yes, I will hold a gun to your head, threaten to eat your children, waterboard your grandparents etc etc to get you to go read it. It is rather good, after all. I mucho recommend.


It's currently up to episode 15.

Welcome to Hoxford. Meet Morton.

MORTON. aka Justin Morton.

Child Rapist.
Chemically castrated. Never to be released.

Former Catholic priest, his activities brought to an end when the he forgot to swap out the Rohypnol laced communion wine that he’d use on his choirboy victims during a regular church service.

WELCOME TO HOXFORD! Print this out...

A high rez jpeg of a promo poster ( click for the largest sized version ) with the info you'll need to make sure your retailer can order in copies of WELCOME TO HOXFORD #1.

Print this sucker out if you want, give it to your comic store & tell them you want this book, or hell, stick it on your bathroom door or anywhere you like!

Don't trust that the book will magically appear on the shelves, because unless it's ordered in, it may not be!

Edit-

I'm trying not to give the whole shebang away in one go, but there's a bunch of stuff in the book, from naked ancient old men, cannibals and prison shower scenes to beastiality necrophilia.

And that's before there's any monstery stuff, but yeah, there'll be a bit of that.

A vid for the weekend: Fight scene on steroids

30 Days Of Night Fearnet Promo thing

The Bus Incident

Parked in the red zone, across both driveways for the apartment building...just what you need when you want to put your car in the garage after leaving the office at 9pm.



How about that, fuckers.



Sigh. We'd just like to put our car in the garage.



Putting the Landlord's *attention driver, you are a douchebag or something*, sign in the bus window.



The kiddies arrive to see 6 cops shitting on the bus driver and thinking about ticketing him. They didn't. Apparently bus drivers are govt workers in the US. ( They're generally private owner operators in Australia ) So you can't ticket them, just like if a fire truck or police parked somewhere you didn't like. Stiff shit eh?

Currently ( among many things ) on the work desk 65

A 30 Days of Night promotional thingy WIP

Which will appear at SDCC apparently on the cover of a free comic.

Will post the final image later.

Entire Welcome to Hoxford #1

Every single page of it. All inked and toned, laid out on the floor waiting for some paint to dry on them.

A vid for the weekend

30 Days of Night, 8 Years of Lies

Rather amusing no?

I hope this goes viral.

No, I didn't do it myself.

Pulp Tales...

Cover for a charity book for Josh Medors. Poor guy is battling cancer, and as he works for himself, no health insurance yet plenty of medical bills to pay on top of fighting for his life.

Please guys, vote for someone who will set up universal health care, like every other western nation has in some form, this November. Not that I mind donating and assisting people in need, but something needs to change.

Yep. It's a bat.

A vid for the weekend: Iron Sky + Sigg Jones

Been all over lately with no less than 5 people showing it to me the other day. Not least from Warrenellis.com.

And it looks cool. Yes, not all animation has to have singing dancing donkeys and be musicals aimed at people who only recently discovered that a toilet may be preferable to soiling themselves ( Though that demographic is constantly shifting upwards these days, I will give you that. )

Enjoy.



And what the hell, this one blows me away every time.

Wormwood Vol 03: Calamari Rising

My precious arrived today.







The Third Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse TPB. ( Vol 01 going back to print, vol 02 almost sold out ) Look for Vol 03 out in a few months. This be the advance copy. Because I am special. Apparently.

Signed Comics. Sold Out Comics.

Since I'm now based at IDW Publishing global headquarters, if you happen to order any book I've done off the IDW Publishing online store, from now on they should now come signed by me as well for no extra charge.

And damn, thanks to all who are picking my stuff up. Wormwood TPB just got another 2 printings. ( One is a special Sci-Fi book club edition, the other is simply because it sold out. ) Wormwood TPB volume 02 is sold out from IDW with only a few hundred left at Diamond. And it's not been out long.



Tommyrot, my art book is also sold out. ( The online store has maybe 4 left ) So it should also see a new printing shortly.

Doing a lot of stuff right now I'm excited as hell about, but alas, can't say or show what they are. Yet.

Will show some more Welcome to Hoxford stuff shortly. The rare luxury I have of having a little more time from the start of this one means I have a chance to do up decent cover work and promo stuff ( well at least to my mind! )

Brazillian Artist Icaro Doria

What he's done with the flags is brilliant. See more here.

"We started to research relevant, global, and current facts and, thus, came up with the idea to put new meanings to the colours of the flags. We used real data taken from the websites of Amnesty International and the UNO."

WELCOME TO HOXFORD Characters...

It is monday. And all that that entails.

Currently up on my wall...

A vid for the weekend. Deadwood Swearing

I warn you, this vid is nothing but swear words and naughty, nasty things.

So of course, I love it.
