Hey

Since my last post I've not really done anything, wish I could say I had. I've been really lazy with me comic illustrations for the last two weeks, though that is changing now. Ok right now I'm writing this and not drawing I get that.
I'm working on a story called 'Methazone' written by Andrew Harrison. I started this in September (I think), right now I can't tell you much, as I have only a few pages done. I will be doing pencils, inks and even some colour. I'm one of those guys that if I ask when it has to be done by then I'm told 'it's ok do it when you can' yeah you won't see it for a while. I stressed this to Andrew a little and we have an agreed deadline now, for me this is good as I have something to push me.

I have been toying with the idea if putting up a little light/shadow guide on the face, just to help people out there who have a hard time with lighting the face. So if anyone actually reads this let me know if thats something you'd like or if it's just a thumbs up idea.

laters.

Advertisment


Accent UK gets advert in Kick Ass 2 no. 4

Well, it's been quite the week for us at AccentUK.

Due to a favour done by Andy Bloor for Mark Millar, Mark has given us a page advert in Issue 4 of Kick Ass Vol 2.It's great exposure for us and we're really grateful to both Andy and Mark. We're lucky that Andy is such a talented designer type person ... as well as damn fine artist.In other news, Owen Johnson (writer up My Maker & I, which is a fabulous full colour one shot that is in production, with artwork by none other than Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'Dan Duncan and colours by Matt Soffe) has been interviewed in Issue 1681 of Comic Buyer's Guide. It's always a challenge to fit everything into these interviews and mention everything but Owen does a great job. You can see more over on Owen's blog.


PREDATORS has hit the shelves of UK Comic shops, I've seen it with my own eyes, so if it's not in yours and you want to pick up a copy then have a go at the store manager. Sales were a little down on the books that have come before it, due I think to it clashing with DC's relaunch of all of its titles, so chances are you might not find it very easily. We will have copies for sale at the Leed's Thought Bubble event but it would help us out a lot if you'd get your comic retailer to get some copies through Diamond Distribution.

From the Accent UK blog this month

PREDATORS have made it ...

Great news ... PREDATORS has finally made it into PREVIEWS.
Following a few months of problems at Diamond, with new staff etc, our latest anthology,PREDATORS is in issue 275 of PREVIEWS (August cover date) on page 224.


A great cover image from Kev Mullins with overall design by Andy Bloor accompanies the blurb by Colin, and it all looks very nice indeed.

We'll be going to print over the next week, and will be launching the book at the Birmingham Comics event at the end of August.
