HAPPY 40TH...

I loved this show, thank goodness

my generation got to watch it before

the abomination that is Elmo moved

onto the street.

BUREAU OF INFORMATION...

UPDATE:

Apparently you can pick up the French edition at Amazon.fr, thanks to Thomas for the link:

http://www.amazon.fr/Spacegirl-1-Travis-Charest/dp/2351005309/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1257858852&sr=1-1

Just to make it clear, the French version of Spacegirl is NOT available for sale here. I'll find out from Carabas where to buy them in France, but as far as I know you can't get them outside of Europe.

I'm SOLD OUT of the original English version of Spacegirl and have been for months. The only book available for sale here is the sketchbook. Sorry for any confusion.

Coming soon...UPDATED...

UPDATE...I got my copies this week,

they look fantastic, the book is a little

bit bigger than the original English

version but the layout is still one panel

per page.

Out this week...

Astonishing X-Men #31

Disney buys Marvel...

Having worked with both companies, I'm surprised by this. Great people at both places but very different work "cultures" Disney always seemed too conservative or should I say risk-averse, while Marvel strikes me as more willing to take chances

There it is...

Looks like they went with

a kind of retro vibe for the

cover. What do you think?

Cover layouts...

Here are some of the layouts I submitted

to Wizard. The finished version ended up

fairly close to the layout they chose.

Wizard Cover

I've seen solicitations for Wizard

magazine #216 but the artwork

wasn't the same as what I'd actually

done. Anyway, this is what I think

is going to be used...

Sketchbook Shipments...

The boxes are here, books will start to go out on Monday... I'm going to sleep....

Sketchbook Order Update...

To all those nice people who have sent their orders, we're just waiting for the post office to send the priority shipping boxes and then we'll start processing individual requests, thanks for being so patient.

SPACEGIRL #63...(finally)

Ironmoron says thank you...

For anyone who had to witness this atrocity after my Marvel signing I apologize, but I couldn't resist.

And a big THANK YOU to everyone who came by the table during the

show to say hello and especially for picking up one of my sketchbooks.

If I wasn't able to get you a little doodle or something I'm sorry and hopefully I can get you next time.

Sketchbook Info: Online Sales...

I'll have some info later this week about online sales, I've got lots of books left and there's no reason to get reamed on ebay.

DARK HORSE POSTER...

This poster will be available from Dark Horse at the San Diego Comicon.

I think it looks a little different than the original shown here though.

It will also be used as a wrap around cover.

VADER

A new cover for Dark Horse, not sure when the issue comes out.

COMICON/SKETCHBOOK NEWS

I'll be attending this years San Diego Comicon and I'll be set up at the Big Wow Art booth #4903.

I'll be hawking a new book of drawings and signing whatever people want signed. I won't be able to sketch I'm afraid but please don't let that stop you from coming by to say hello.

SUPER-CON 2009...

I'm hoping to attend SUPER-CON both days but I may only make it Sunday but there are lots of better reasons to go than to see my goofy face so try to make it San Jose this weekend.

Marvel's art submission policy changes...

That's exactly how I got my first gig...

Finally Done!

I'm sure some of you have been wondering what I've been working on, we'll it's finally finished. War and Peace: The Graphic Novel. It's well over 500 pages and has been a real labor of love for these past 10 years. It should be available by Supercon, I hope you like it.

Spacegirl supporting cast...
