LAYER ZERO #3 : CHOICES

I ALSO have a short story in ‘Layer Zero #3 : Choices’ from ‘Insomnia Publications’ that is rapidly incoming and will be debuted in time for Bristol Comic Convention on the 9th May.

You can get a copy from Amazon UK HERE

Speaking of Bristol I will be there Saturday and will probably be spending most of my time around the Insomnia booth in the Small Press Expo area so if you are coming then look out for me.

HOMETOWN HEROES

So this is the final day of voting for Small Press Idol and our project despite being in 3rd place for a long time has now slipped to 6th and that’s where it looks like it’ll finish. This is still enough to get us through to Round 3 (20 of the 27 projects will go through) however I have a lot of work to do for Round 3 to get more votes as this upcoming round only the top 3 advance. Eeeek!

GENERAL MOVING AN SHAKING AT INSOMNIA… POSSIBLE NEW PROJECT I HAVE TO PITCH

My good bud Richard ‘James’ Johnson will be joining the Insomnia team as Art Director, if you know him you know just how good a job he will do as he lives to tell people what to do.

There is also the announcement of a new imprint of Insomnia, the blurb about which I will post below :

“New Vigil Imprint from Insomnia
As many of you will know last year we signed the historical graphic novel Burke and Hare by Martin and Will Pickering.
The response we have already had on this book has been great, with people and magazines, not to mention libraries, museums and educational establishments, already emailing me to ask when it will be out. I’ve seen the first finished pages, though, which is a great perk of the job, and I’m not surprised people can’t wait – they are outstanding!
Anyway this got us to thinking and chatting with Martin about the idea of an imprint for more of this kind of book – fact-based stories of a biographical nature with supporting notes and research. As the conversation progressed it was obvious he would be perfect as editor, so we invited him to the party.”

This has come at a strange time for me just as a number of ideas and such have aligned and, as if I need more work to do, I think I will be making a pitch to Martin for the Vigil line at Bristol next week.

Wish me luck.

Cheers,
Chris
