Man, check out these sketches Eric Talbot did at NYCC. Eric’s another super talent from my home state. Getting one of his sketches would be reason enough to have gone to NYCC.

BLARGH!: Sketches from the NYCC. Updated 4/24.

Thanks to my Dad for pointing me to this one. Absolutely amazing:

This morning my “Toby” got into my “Barkeater Lake”. What a brilliant crossover. Two of my favorite strips:

Podcasts are a staple of my work week. Great to listen to while penciling and inking strips. Found this one via Facebook:

And if you aren’t into podcasts, give it a try. Much better than TV.

Thanks to Rolando for setting this up! If you’re on facebook, check it out:

It’s coming! Very excited. I’ve been a bond fanatic for most of my life. Although I read the books first, which is a wee bit different than the Sean Connery, Roger Moore Bond. I’ve read Flemmings novels at least a couple of times, and all of the Gardner books.

After that, I picked up a couple here and there. I am however looking forward to this author’s take. Plus they have a nifty, shiny website:

The new James Bond novel, Devil May Care - Penguin Books

For those interested in my art outside of DeD (and I mean waaaaay outside of DeD), I’ve re-launched my Absence of Light website. That was the title of my first comic book series. Now it’s my shadowlands to post my dark art and also blab about non-comic strip related projects.

Mouse Guard has been on my “to read” list since it came out. Now that the first collection is on shelves, I’ll probably pick it up. The illustrations are just beautiful. Even with it’s old timey feel, it’s a breath of fresh air in the comic racks. So in case you hadn’t heard about this title, I thought I’d pass it along.

I’m actually writing this in Scribefire but it’s promoting Windows Live Writer. Both are top notch tools for blogging. Scribefire sits in your browser and makes it so simple to blog as you surf, even letting you drag and drop images into your post. It’s really my workhorse for blogging.

However I wanted a full featured desktop writer for more advanced post composition. I test drove a bunch and Windows Live is by far my favorite. Plus it’s free (and better than some of the pay for writers). I’m managing three blogs (technically four since the comics page is actually another WP install). So these tools make life a lot easier.

And on the managing blogs note, I’ve revamped my oldest site, absenceoflight. Check it out!
