Appearances on other sites, a new image and go buy our wallet now!


The image on the left was made for our good friends at Thunderchunky's Blog action Day: Creative climate change last month. (Actually, just the bottom right square was, the other three parts of the image were added afterwards.) We're just sharing it now because we realised we hadn't shown it on our blog yet!

Speaking of appearing on other sites, we're currently being featured in Creative Boom's latest Christmas themed gallery and my ramblings will soon be featured on Roberto Blake's website as I've just been interviewed by him.

Oh and did we mention you can go and buy our Boreal wallet NOW!

Have fun,
David

The latest Boreal wallet: Rexx Unleashed!


Christmas is drawing near (or at least that's what the adverts on TV keep telling me) so to get with the spirit of the season (i.e. commercialism); we've teamed up with the people at Boreal to bring you the brand new "Rexx unleashed" wallet. Cheaper than buying an Xbox and much cooler than a pair of socks! Plus way more practical than socks; have you ever tried to keep your credit cards in your socks? Not comfortable in the slightest...

Have fun,
David

Rom redesigned: A Tribute to Bill Mantlo

This is my redesign of Rom for the upcoming charity tribute book for comic book writer Bill Mantlo.

Here's a bit more info about Bill Mantlo from Wikipedia:
"On July 17, 1992, Mantlo was struck by a car while rollerblading. (The driver of the car fled the scene and has never been identified.) Not wearing a helmet at the time, Mantlo suffered severe head trauma and spent over two weeks in a coma. He has since been institutionalized, and is not expected to fully recover.[9] Mantlo now resides in the Queens Nassau Rehabilitation & Nursing Center,[10] where he must have 24-hour assistance. His care has long since used up his health insurance. In 2007, cartoonist David Yurkovich released the benefit book Mantlo: A Life in Comics, with all proceeds from the book donated to Mantlo's brother and caregiver, Michael Mantlo, to help toward the costs of maintaining Mantlo's care. In addition, Floating World Comics sponsored Spacenight: A Tribute to Bill Mantlo, an art show made (almost) entirely of various artists' interpretations of ROM, to help raise funds for Mantlo's care."

You can see more artists renditions of ROM at the SpaceNite 2 blog
Have fun,
