I got a Flickr and everything.

Hi, y’all. Here’s some mildly boring pictures of Eleanor and me in England!

Yeah, we got back a long time ago. I just haven’t had any art I could post up recently, so I’ve been keeping quiet. What did we do in England? Went to about ten million pubs, and drank about a million pints of bitter! It was great. You don’t even have to tip in bars in England, apparently – though everything is about twice as expensive as here so you don’t really save any money.  We did a few other things there too, but I’ll let you look at the pictures.

I didn’t crack my sketchbook the whole time there, though. I’ve got to start being more disciplined.

OH HEY YEAH, the FLUKE anthology deadline! That was actually up a few days ago, but if you’ve been working on something and still want to submit it, drop me a line ( drew “at” drewweing “dot com” ) and let me know. Unless you already did. Or I emailed you.

Busy busy

Once again I’ve neglected The Internet for over a month!

The rundown:

I’ve got a new Wulf and Merl comic in the current issue of Disney Adventures! It is a three page story, here is the first panel:

Eleanor is going to have some work in an art show at Giant Robot (the one in Los Angeles.) It’s called “Panelists,” and has got all kinds of hip comics artists. She’s going to have a bunch of original art for sale, almost all of which was either in the most recent Mome or is going to be in the next one! You should stop by and take a look, if you’re in the area! Buy something, hint hint.

Speaking of, have you seen the cover of the next Mome yet? Here it is:

It’s definitely shaping up to be the year of Eleanor Davis! Grr.

We’re both going to be out of the country for most of June! We’re going on a walking trip in southern England! London to Winchester to Salisbury to Christchurch and back to London. This’ll be the first time I’ve ever set foot outside of the country!

Anyway, since we obviously won’t be around to be filling orders in the Little House shop, I’m going to go ahead and “close the shutters” on it till we get back. Don’t worry, if you had an order in already, it’ll get filled!

See you soon!

News roundup!

on April 30, 2007

Hey! I’m not totally 100% sure that this is actually on the stands yet, but there’s a new Wulf and Merl comic in the May issue of Disney Adventures! So feel free to browse through in the grocery aisle. This one’s just a one-pager – here’s the first panel:

Remember when I mentioned the McCloud clan rolling through Athens some weeks back? Well, a Winterview has finally surfaced – you can check it out here! Sky and Winter are so unreserved and charming that Eleanor and I pretty much felt like big lumps in comparison. Anyway, you can watch the interview see how boring we are for yourself. Our cat Momo pretty much steals the show. There are some shots of some of the nice crafty stuff Eleanor’s made recently.

And one last bit of “news:” A couple of our comics (Blar, The Beast Mother, Bugbear) got reviewed in the current issue of the Comics Journal. The review was basically positive, but maybe a little condescending. Oh well!

We had a fun weekend. On Friday we caught a midnight showing of Tears of the Black Tiger at “Ciné,” the arthouse theater that recently opened in downtown Athens. “Tears” is a Thai movie – a sort of post-modern cowboy/romance comedy/tragedy. It has some beautiful visuals – the whole movie is filmed in classic 60s over-saturated Technicolor, with deliberate movie artifices sprinkled throughout – painted backdrops, glued-on mustaches, etc. Highly recommended! The theater was nice too, though aesthetically problematic and a bit pretentious – big turquoise velour nightclub couch-thing in the bar area, Radiohead on the speakers, so forth. I can’t really pick nits with a theater within walking distance that lets you take beer into the auditorium, though.

On Saturday we went up to Atlanta with Devlin (the Bizarro Wuxtry guy) to see The Creature from the Black Lagoon in 3-D, with a pre-movie Spook Show. Man, they really went all out! Big “Amazon Jungle” plywood standees, paper mache monsters, makeup, the whole nine yards. The house was completely packed and in a good mood; everyone gamely shrieking whenever the “Gill-Man” showed up onscreen.

Set to Sea 90

The story so far…

Howdy! I have been mega-irresponsible with my internet stuff recently (updates, emails, etc.) Time to get with it!

Uh… Fluke happened! That was major fun. The night of Fluke we had a big “Prohibition/Roaring 20s” party that mostly consisted of drinking a lot of homebrewed beer and wearing construction paper bowties and mustaches. We had a bunch of friends come down and stay with us for Fluke and the week after. I’d write about that, but they’ve all gotten to it before me.

Though Fluke 2007 may be over and done with, the 2007 Fluke Anthology is still on the table! I’ve gotten some really superb entries in already – this is shaping up to be a really excellent book, and you should jump on while you’ve got the chance. Deadline’s July 7th (7/7/07) – plenty of time to crank out a couple of pages!
