Man, Blogger's discontinuing support for off-site blogs - like, for instance, the ones on all Eleanor and my websites. Looks like I'm going to have to learn about Wordpress.
I did an album cover for a band called the Unwelcome Guests (out of Buffalo NY,) and it's out now! The Unwelcome Guests do a sort of folk punk/hardcore rock thing, you should check it out if that sounds like your scene.
The album is called Don't Go Swimming, on Kiss of Death Records. The popularity of vinyl releases is a real boon for artists, I've always wanted to do one. There's a cd release, too. For the cd, the cover is folded into quarters, and unfolds to almost-lp size.
The book that Eleanor and I worked on together, The Secret Science Alliance, got a good review at The Comic Journal, "one of 2009's most significant releases," the man said. I think that might be the first "comics blogosphere" review of SSA. I guess we've arrived!
Also, the 2nd printing reached American shores a few weeks ago, so the book's back in stock at Amazon.
Hey! Eleanor and Kate Guillen's joint art show Diplopia now exists online as well as physically (at Giant Robot LA). All of the paintings and drawings are clickable and purchasable (and some are NSFW.) It'll be wrapping up Feb. 10th, so if you're interested, act fast!
