Bram Stoker's Dracula

With an illo per chapter by me.

Should be out tomorrow, in all good comic stores, though it isn't actually a comic. Failing that, you can order it via Amazon where it should be out shortly and other online places. IDW doesn't appear to have it on their online store as yet though.

Something that never saw print...And GROOM LAKE #4

I've been adjusting to working from home this week & finishing up a rather massive work load, so spending time updating the news/blogs I have around the place has been a bit secondary ( I do however, not shutup on twitter through the long work nights ).

So just to prove I can still post art and keep you guys interested while I go insane finishing some other stuff...

Can you guess what it is?

Ok, was meant to be a Turok comic of sorts, to be given away as a promo item at SDCC, many years ago. For some reason it never got that far, but I nonetheless did the comic. It's been aaaages now, so why not show a couple random pages since the stuff I'm working on right now isn't ready to see daylight just yet.

Yes, there's a lot I've done that never gets out there. You'd be surprised!





A Groom Lake #4 cover.



Hope you like where Chris Ryall and I have taken the miniseries thus far. ( the crotch and other dirty human/alien things mostly )

Here's one of the covers for #4...think I still need to do a "B" one though.

Things I did in Utah

And didn't really expect to.








Some art for Greg, who showed me a great time & hosted me for the signing at his Black Cat Comics.


I was made to sign a Johnny Cash poster?



As well as comics I didn't do...but thought I'd spice them up a little.

Groom Lake #3

To celebrate Groom Lake #2 coming out today, here's what to look for with #3 next month. Don't think I blogged it before. ( The other ones, though, I did a step by step, check the earlier blog postings )

Are you in Utah? I will be.

What the flier says basically. Check it out. Make plans. Prepare the fresh baby meat. Yay, verily so, or whatever etc etc.

Please note *if you do* bring me fresh babies to eat, I cannot do so in public, due to legal reasons.

Wormwood volume 02 French Edition Finito

The completed cover. Title will obviously be changed to whatever "It Only Hurts When I Pee" in french or some variant name more specific for the french market of course, as Delcourt do their wonderful design/adaption stuff to it.

I love the way French Publishers package their comics, as well as their overall cultural respect for the medium which is a bit different from the US model. It's just a bit more cultural in feel over there, rather than purely commercial.

It's either that, or I'm just influenced by the French love of drinking at every possible opportunity. Who knows.

YES, there will be an english version hardcover of Wormwood Volume 02, probably be out by early next year. ( hey, they plan these things far ahead of time on the schedule ) but if you still want a copy of the first english hardcover, there's none left except if you're lucky enough to find one left on a shelf in a book store perhaps or ordering some of the last few IDW itself has left via their online store. ( and literally today is probably the last day I'll be able to sign any copies bought there. )

Conluvio lives on...

Remember this little book?



Well, a piece of it now lives on, thanks to Fryda, who has brightened my morning in the best way possible.

"This is my first Ben Templesmith piece. She came from his book about fantastical space mercs, Conluvio. She compliments (it's an Amy Brown) the piece that is now 4 years old that lives on my right calf."

Wormwood Volume 02 French Edition Progress...

How the image is looking before I put it through the computer & perform magik tricks to try and piece it together. Finished image by the end of the day I hope.

Also, a quick little update on Wormy.

1. There *might* be some copies of volumes 1 and 2 left. They're trying to see if they turn up at distributor soonish.

2. There should officially be a Wormwood Volume 02 HARDCOVER by next year sometime. ( yay ) The first one sold out rather quickly. No, probably no reprinting of that for now. Got to order these things so they come in or run the risk you miss out!

3. Planning on doing a new miniseries/volume 04 for next year. It's already written in my ugly little head.

Also, I'll be leaving the IDW offices by the end of next week. ( Not IDW itself, just the offices ) so, this means if you can't find Wormwood anywhere else and are still interested in buying a copy SIGNED & PERSONALIZED or anything you want for no extra charge, this is going to be the last time you can get them done that way from the IDW online store. All the Wormwood stuff they have is here.IDW itself DOES have about 20 Hardcover volume 01's left. May be your last chance if you really want one, from anywhere.
