More Good News...

The books are finally arriving at their destinations.

It was a close call as Barron had to leave for a 3 week workshop in Ecuador (I hear from Petra that he's doing great over there - who would have expected something else ?)

There's also a new article on a superb blog - please check it out

There might be more coming up on this one.

And yes, reprinting Marat Sade is still on the project planning :)

Finally a picture of Barron Storey and Kent Williams at Ape - was fun having you around !!!

SickBed Blues - Graphic Novel Art - the next Generation

What's next ?

SickBed Blues - an autobiographical Graphic Novel (the real one) by one of Barron's students Koak.

Very expressive, black and white (all pen and ink) work which just blew my mind away.

I just received some modifications Koak did to her first pages of Sickbed Blues. While the first pages were already superb, the latest adjustments allow litterally to flow from one page to the next without any stop !!!

Just superb !!!

This will be my next pet project, hopefully ready with a high quality teaser by San Diego 2007.

Kind Regards & thx for the great support
