Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana...

Well, it's been almost all of February, and most of March - what's goin' on?

Eric P. got busy at the NYCC, taking names and after - mailing files. We'll see how long before he can paper his bedroom with rejection letters...! Or use them to line his budgie's cage.

Just had a couple of old comics I did resurface in shiny new formats: Donnie, a comic I did originally in black and white is now in glorious technicolour over at WebComics Nation. An even older comic, "Steve Brain, Gay Payday" is now out (En Portugese!) in the Brazilian anthology from Escritorio Noturno (The Night Office). That'll be getting an English translation before too long.

I mention this because a number of Brazilians, and a few non-Brazilian vinyl-jockeys think I'm somehow linked to The Twelves, the Brazilian remix duo. Unfortunately, that is not the case, and I've been The Twelves a hell of a lot longer than they have. I win.

BUT- I heartily recommend The Night Office to all fans of all things Brazilian, and comics. And Brazilian comics, especially.

I'm pretty much wrapped on the pitch for Lucky Town, with Anthony Venutolo. Just a couple of minor lettering edits to take care of. I also sent Eric some art for his pitch, Neverland. I think it's pretty sweet, and I'll post some of it when I get permission. (Or if he doesn't like it...)

I finally got Best Little HellHouse In DC off the launchpad to Heavy Metal. It had been sitting around for literally, a couple of years waiting on Travis Johnson to do some rewrites. He finally decided he couldn't get back into the story, so I (probably) brutalised his child, added some minor edits and shipped it off to HM. I'm not a great writer, but hopefully I punched it up a little...

Now to start work on Milky, co-written with MikeD... Gothic Horror and monkeys. Edgar Allen Poe meets Edgar Rice Burroughs. Hmm...

WORK! is still chugging away, like a sterno-fuelled hobo that refuses to die (!) and just this week, our heroes are:

Anna Pulchaski, for re-lettering the gorgeous Komori, written by Steve Wallace.

Susan 'Kat' Golton, for nailing Problems, by Nick Andreychuk.

Previous Stakhanovites of the glorious WORK! effort have been,

Chris Fenoglio for inking Owen Jones' Only A Miner Killed.

Mario Boon, for page 2 of Lowlands Of Holland.

Greg Carter is writing and co/writing a number of stories - I suspect he's angling for a co-editorship! :)

We got this from him at the end of February:
