Hey kids, what time is it?

Here's the hero for the Sebastian Hawks Pozible campaign - 6 days to go and they've almost hit their target!

Sebastian Hawks - Creature Hunter (Graphic Novel)

SEBASTIAN HAWKS Creature Hunter is an action /adventure series based around a turn-of-the-century professional adventurer and creature hunter, from the creative team of Tristan Jones, Greg Mclean and Chris Dibari, produced by Gestalt Comics. Head on over to Pozible and give them some love!

Whoa - I still have a blog here? I guess I should post something!

Guess what? The Deep: The Vanishing Island has been printed and shipped and is now available from Gestalt and Madman!

Cheers, Internets! I hope you all had a happy and safe Christmas.

With barely enough time to get his Aurealis award to the pool room, Tom Taylor has won another one - the 2012 Stan Lee Excelsior Award! Congratulations to Tom and Chris Scalf for their work on Star Wars: Blood Ties.

Keep coming up with awards, world - Tom is running out of stuff to win.

Supes

Hey, Internets! Here's a quick sketch of Superman done at work, purtied up in Photoshop.

So...Stephen Fry made an announcement on Twitter this week:

Full Of WIN

And now, on to book 2: The Vanishing Island - in which Kaiko will stand for NONE OF THIS NONSENSE, DAMMIT.

Another Skype scribble...

Notes from Friday's Skype conference. (It was a good one!)

I had a 2am conference call last week - took some notes on the back of an envelope.


Man, I suck at note taking.

What about croutons, David?

Watching Space Ghost while I redraw a panel from The Deep for the eleventy-fifth time. Also, I may be going insane.

Shark Dreaming

Happy New Year, Internets! Here's some light bedtime reading - written by Robert Chandler for his son when he was five and had a thing for sharks, illustrated by me. It's designed to be read aloud while the child's trying to get off to sleep, grabbing his toes / limbs under the covers at appropriate moments.

Enjoy!

Somewhere, It's Still Christmas

Merry Christmas, y'all, and a blessed New Year!
