Various Stuff

This is a quick snippet, but I thought I should give you all a heads-up: THE ANCIENT BOOK OF SEX AND SCIENCE was plugged recently on the illustrious BOINGBOING and interest surged overnight. Amazon has placed an order so large that I can't fill it. We've vowed to NOT go back to press on these initial ANCIENT BOOK hardcovers (you'll recall that MYTH AND WAR sold out in a few months). It appears that SEX AND SCIENCE is now effectively "sold out" as well. I'm leaving the link to AMAZON in the sidebar as retailers often post with third party offerings, which may become the active way to get one very soon. Now, don't panic if you haven't gotten yours. I'll have limited quantities at San Diego, and there will indeed be a painted edition with signatures available on the blog in the coming week or two, so be vigilant and keep your eyes peeled. More soon, after I do actual inventory this morning.

It's true...you can follow me on Twitter. I folded to the power of the tweet. I'll do my best to keep you all informed of what's the latest... just follow, true believers, follow!

May 16th will see the official launch of THE ANCIENT BOOK OF SEX AND SCIENCE, hosted by our friends at GALLERY NUCLEUS . We'll have advanced copies of the book for sale at $20 a pop, as well as some prints and of course the originals, by myself, Lou Romano , Don Shank , and Nate Wragg . Please come by and grab a copy at what will probably be one of your ONLY CHANCES to get all 4 artists to sign (with Lou at Leika and Nate at Dreamworks, it's hard locking us all down these days!) Special thanks to Ronnie del Carmen for the photos of the unveiling just minutes ago...

Thanks to everyone who came by at Emerald City this weekend! The show was AMAZING, so much fun and so much comics love. I can't wait to hit that show again in the future. I'll post a more comprehensive wrap up with scans of commissions (if you send 'em in) soon! In other news, TIGER!TIGER!TIGER! has been graced with not one but TWO Eisner Award nominations, for BEST PAINTER/MULTIMEDIA ARTIST and BEST LETTERER! The Eisners are an amazing honor and I'm very thankful the book itself was recognized this year. Congrats to all the nominees, including Pixar buddies Enrico Casarosa (Venice Chronicles) and Steve Purcell (Sam and Max)! We'll have TIGER!TIGER!TIGER! on hand in San Diego, of course, along with NOTES OVER YONDER and THE ANCIENT BOOK OF SEX AND SCIENCE. Also available now is MAGIC PICKLE AND THE GARDEN OF EVIL , so grab a copy if you see it!
