Wizard did a spread on Scott Pilgrim as their "Indie of the Year". Woooooo! I used to read Wizard when I was about 14. I had a year or two worth of them back in the mid-90s. In fact, I know Wizard was the first place I ever saw stuff like Chris Ware, and some of my earliest information about manga came from there too. So, that's nice. I mean, mainly it was Joe Madureira and hilarious captions and photos of action figures, etc. I'm curious to see what kind of sophomoric nonsense they spewed about Scott P., so does anyone have a copy of the issue (#183) that they could scan for me?

CONTENT! Here is a little Salamander Dream comic I did last year (in my sketchbook). Click to bigg up.


Scott 4 update: I feel okay about the drawings currently. Drawing these things is like a huge existential dilemma. I cannot explain the rollercoaster of emotions that one goes through while drawing an extremely long graphic novel. This book will be very long, at least a dozen pages longer than book 2, and possibly another dozen longer than that. I'm trying to trim it a bit as I draw, but the script was definitely quite long. I don't want to turn into Harry Potter over here; I'm going to try to keep each book around the 200-page mark. I'm making a conservative estimate that the book will come out next summer. (I wonder if the last Harry Potter will come out next summer?!?!?)

here is a beautiful picture of the girls' sex bob-omb shirt.

The girls' shirt is "sangria", which is redder than fuscia, but still with a pink tone. The boy shirt is more of a purple/violet colour. More colours and designs coming eventually (as well as availability for this design).
