CURRENT SOUNDTRACK: Geek Syndicate #139
Its bloody early. Or bloody late, depending on how you view 4.21am. Kneedeep in research, but wondering:
Who would be interested in attending, as publishers, creators, retailers, and interested readers, a conference talk panel thing in february time, in London, about the future of comics on digital platforms? I'm talking distribution, monetizing content, storytelling possibilities, marketing, on digital platforms like iPhone, kindle, blackberry, PSP, etc?
Let us know.

JUDGE DREDD HAS BEEN CAST!
CURRENT SOUNDTRACK: 501st Official podcast Episode 48
For the handful of people following this blog you'll know I'm busy doing storyboards and concept artwork for a Judge Dredd Fanfilm, Judge Minty. Well, director Steven Sterlacchini has announced who will be playing Old Stoney Face himself in his latest post here:
"Renowned Artist and Judge Dredd favourite, Greg Staples has kindly offered to play the part of the man himself in our film. Although Dredd will only be making a small cameo and will only be shown in shadow, blurred or extreme close up, we are lucky that Greg has the correct look for a young Joe. It's also a nice touch for fellow fans."
A cool pic of Greg in character is up on the post and well worth checking out, and in the meantime, here's a teaser panel from a scene from Minty:
Will post more closer to release date.

I HAVE BEEN, AND ALWAYS SHALL BE...
CURRENT SOUNDTRACK: Still nowt...
And continuing the TREK heavy theme, from last weekends Collectormania Milton Keynes show...
I've been mulling over my reaction to the Trek reboot film. I stil intend to see it again, at some point soon hopefully. But I think my reaction was summed up by someone else who said, they enjoyed it, but it didn't feel like a Trek film. And I think that was the point.

THESE ARE THE VOYAGES...

Been sitting on these really until the issue was at the printers. The CI: STAR TREK COMICS SPECIAL covers all the Trek incarnations from the 60's to the present day, interviewing creators past, present and future, including Dan Abnett, David Messina, Gordon Purcell, Diane Duane, and many more, even Walter Koenig. I really enjoyed the challenge of redesigning each section around the aesthetic of each show, whether Starfleet, Cardassian or Borg, though I regret not doing a Klingon one. That'd be fun.

CURRENT SOUNDTRACK: EU elections results.
Been busy with other stuff this past week, so below is a recap of the TREK strip, with temp lettering. Still some panels need polishing, and inserts are missing, to be added at colouring stage.
