Bye for now : )

Utopiales Update

Well, now I have some info on my signings in Nantes - 5.30 on the 11th, 4.00 on the 12th, and 2.00 on the 13th. All at the festival's bookshop so you'll have to be at the festival for them. I'm also in a discussion on the 10th at 2.30 at Bar de Mme Spock - which is a logical place for me to be - and also at the Espace Shayol at 11.30am. They've got a fascinating thing on here related to The Prisoner, too - that's the original one, I'm glad to say - which I'll be certain to attend...
And the Vendetta exhibition is on show here, too. One quick snap of it here : )

Return To The Mechanical Elephant

Friends,
Anyone out there near Nantes in France this weekend, I'm at the Utopiales Science Fiction Festival. This is another time when I have little idea currently of my schedule during the days, but you can check the site to find out, if you'd like to come and say hi : ) It's www.utopiales.org. And another chance to see the Vendetta exhibition too there.
Nantes is where that fascinating mechanical elephant and similar extraordinary constructions can be seen in the one-time home of Jules Verne. If you don't get to Nantes this time to see such things, you should make it if you can some other time. Definitely worth the trip.
Bye for now...

Latest, Lucca

Friends,
I'm at Lucca in Italy over the weekend, for that well-known Italian festival of sequential art - and now of games also, of course, as many such festivals across the globe have adapted themselves to be - so if any of you are around in that area or are planning to visit it, please come and say hi : ) I am at two events I know of, the rest of my schedule is unclear. Known is a panel on Saturday at the Palazzo Ducale at 18.00 and the second is an interview etc on Sunday, Showcase Napoleone at 16.00. I'm sure I'll be sketching and signing at various times there, and I'll be somewhere else under that sun too in days following, but I can't honestly tell you where or when. Keep watching the skies! As they say...
Released in Lucca will be the collection of my short stories that I mentioned a while back, Materia Oscura. Cover here. Looks like the publisher did an excellent job with it and I'm looking forward to seeing it.
Bye for now : )

New York, New Work

Friends,
I've almost given up trying to update on a regular basis here for all those visiting the site to see new work and my plans for new work, but I can only promise I'll keep trying! I do have a new project in preparation which will take a good few months to reach fruition - if it can be brought to fruitition - and I can pledge you'll know about that as soon as it becomes viable, because its success will depend on it being known about as widely as possible. But I can't tell you much more about it now.
My next appearance out in the wide world will be at the New York Comic Convention from this coming Thursday to Sunday. If any of you will be coming to that event, I'll be very happy to see you : ) I'm signing and sketching for folks on Friday from 4-5pm at the DC booth #1254, and then again there on Saturday from 1-2pm - but for most of the time I'm at the Cadence Comic Art stand in the small press section at number 3153. I'll be found there with certainty between 12.30-1.30 on Sunday, sketching at that time for charity donations, and then from 4-5pm I'm privileged to be on a panel remembering the late, great Gene Colan in Room 1A24.
I'd guess if most of you visiting this site are lovers of the best of sequential art you probably know some of Gene's work. If you don't, one of his greatest talents lay in his skill with wash drawing. Here's some below - though not very adequately represented - for your viewing pleasure. This and other pages of his work can be seen on my Facebook page, which is also where you may have better luck catching up with what I'm up to in my negligent attitude to keeping everyone informed through every channel that I should...
Bye for now : )

San Diego Diary

Friends,
Some San Diego detail here for folks lucky enough to be at the ComicCon - I'm in Artists Alley a lot, barring lunchtimes from 12-2, which include DC signings at 12-1, Thurs, and 1-2, Sat. On Friday, this includes a panel from 1-2 - check your program on the location for that. Stop by and say hi when you can : )
Pics here are from current work - design roughs for a compilation of past short stories for an Italian publisher. Includes stuff from greats like Steve Bissette and Pete Milligan. Up for grabs by any smart US publishers who want to produce the English language version ... : )

San Diego Stop Off

Friends,
Any of you folks in reach of Fort Lauderdale who might want to come and say hi at Tates Comics on Saturday, I'll be there from 2-4 chatting, signing and sketching in my usual bright and cheerful manner. All the more brighter and cheerfuller because of the climate in that sunnily blessed part of the globe.
More info at www.tatescomics.com.
And next post, news of San Diego and a collection of short stories : )

Where Am I?

Friends,
If I was as confused as that heading might indicate I was, I'd have an excuse for once more being very tardy in updating here. Though it's true I've been on a string of trips that led to much distraction from my committments to other things, I should have been more fastidious in posting here regularly. But that's enough of my whining... If you want to know where I'm going to be next - another trip - it's in Glasgow, and very shortly ; this weekend, in fact! Tomorrow evening I'm at a q n a after a V For Vendetta movie screening, then at the Glasgow Comic Con on Saturday - http://www.glasgowcomiccon.com. It's great to see such a thing in that great city after such a long absence. As good as seeing Kapow recently in London - another city without a real Con for many years. This one's not as big as that, but it'll be just as welcome to those in the area who love sequential art. It's in a small venue and has been sold-out for quite a while now, so I'm not able to ask you all to come along and say hi there, as I usually do at every place I'm privileged enough to be invited to - but if you're one of those who do have a ticket to the show, make sure you stop at my table! I'm there from the start to the end at 6 - apart from a couple of panels and some lunch, that is...
And I'll have news of what I'm working on next posting. That'll be a change, won't it? Hearing what I'm working at next, and not where I'm gadding off to next... You know, if I thought you'd believe me, I'd tell you that all the travel was hard work, too... : )

Thriller In Manila

That's Kickback, I'm talking about, folks, not that legendary battle of boxing : ) I'll have a bunch of copies of KB with me in the Philippines from tomorrow for a week of signings and convention visits. I get the extremely strong impression that my journey to those islands has been very well-publicized - which is considerably more than I can say about Kickback - so there may be very little reason for me to advertise my presence there very strongly here, but, if there do happen to be some of you in that area who don't know I'm coming to call, and who would like to come and say hi at the various venues I'll be appearing in, I'll be very happy to see you - as ever : )
Some detail at www.metrocomiccon.com.
