Road Crew Comic

Just a quick note to point you in the direction of fellow Irish comic artist’s new Hardcover release. Declan Shalvey is a great artist who is gonna make big waves in comicdom over the next few years. His work on 28 Days Later is quite exceptional so give him your support!

Here’s the amazon pre-order links:

Also check out his own blog and he’s also a member of the sketch blog Elcletic Micks

Hi Guys,
Sorry for the lack of blog posts over the last week but I have been busy and not feeling the best. I’m all back to normal and my frequent trips to the bathroom seem to have subsided for now! I’ll spare you all the details!

Anyway, the printer I use recently reduced the price of it’s TRADE PAPER BACK SERVICE, so I thought I would pass on the savings to you! So instead of paying $9.99 you can now pick up a copy of ELECTRIC LADYLAND for $6.99

What a bargain!

CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS!

Just reminding you all that the first issue of ROAD CREW:FOR SALE is now available to purchase from the fine people over at INDYPLANET.com It’s 24 pages of Black and White art with some beautiful color panels (just like the strips online). This is the first time that ROAD CREW has appeared in print in color so it’s a pretty big deal for me.

Chances are that when I put together the Trade collection of this story it will be in all black and white, printing color at that scale is just way too expensive for me at the minute, so this probably will be your only chance to see the pages as they were intended.

So if you have a spare $3.99 head on over and pick up a copy! Click HERE

Road Crew: For Sale #1 gets a great review over on comicrelated.com I was so chuffed when I read it. Thanks Guys!

As part of The Oeming Board SECRET PROJECT ANTHOLOGY I get interviewed by Mary E. over on her blog. Check it out and have a look through the archives. Some great stuff there.

A few people have been asking what amp and guitar do I use for live work. Of late I haven’t been gigging much but even though Rigg is probably too big a word for it, here’s what I use:

LINE 6 SPIDER II HD

FEATURES:

• 12 amp models that deliver a complete range from Clean to Insane
• 7 Smart Control effects (up to 3 simultaneous) including Tape Echo, standard Delay, Sweep Echo (all w/Tap Tempo), Chorus/Flanger, Phaser, Tremolo and Reverb
• 4 User-programmable channels
• Built-in front panel Tuner

FBV SHORTBOARD:
• Dedicated channel switches
• Dedicated effect and FX loop On/Off switches
• Large naming display
• Wah/Volume pedal
• Expression pedal input for dedicated Volume control
• Chromatic tuner
• Tap tempo switch
• Self-powered through the locking cable (included)

‘89 Fender STRAT

I removed the paint myself, that was a pain but well worth it in the end. I also use an ARIA MAC 50 too which is probably my favourite guitar to play. The pick-ups just mightn’t be the greatest but that’s easily fixed.
