Kid Beowulf and the Blood Bound Oath books are on their way.

by

My colleague Lex has posted photos of the printed copies of his book Kid Beowulf and the Blood Bound Oath. As some of you know I did the digital coloring on the cover of the book and I am thrilled to see how nice the books look in the photos. (I also did some watercoloring on interior pages too) The publisher, Bowler Hat Comics, has added a Spot Gloss on the matte cover for the characters and titles which should really make the books pop when sitting on the shelf.

Lex will have copies of the book available at the San Diego Comic-Con at the end of July.

See me in the SF Weekly this week

by

SF Weekly Ad 2-08

UPDATE: See my writeup in the SF Weekly HERE. I got a photo and everything. Below is a scan from the actual paper. There is one mistake: I do not give lessons in my home. It would be in my studio and I do not have it set up to teach in at this time.

SF Weekly Ad 2-08

My class MIGHT still have a few space, so call Andrew at the CAM right now if you want to sign up for the class. Click on the banner to find out more.

 Here is the cover to the SF Weekly so you can know which issue to pick up this week.
