I can't say I'm surprised at all about this stealing art stuff...At the NYC "Big Apple" cons, there were always people stealing other peoples work and selling it as there own, claiming to be working for Warner Brothers or something...I remember watching one guy selling a JLA print he "did" for "Warner Bros" stores for years.If he actually had done such a piece, they would never have allowed him to sell copies at a con. The guys who run the shows didn't know how to check creds I guess.
Sad thing is, I've seen "legit" creators in the biz swipe other pros in the actual comics they create "professionally" for Marvel, DC and others. Some of these swiping artists have gone on to very lucrative and powerful positions in the real biz, their swiping getting "swiped" under the rug. I've even had my work swiped in a pro comic. This poor pathetic excuse for an artist is going to make a few hundred at a con, but some guy who ripped on Frank Miller in a Marvel comic has gone on to huge success having his own publishing companies and regularly working to this day in the mainstream with the major publishers...It's the big guys who rip off that we need to worry about ...not this pathetic guy who can't even write a complete sentence. Honestly, this guy is a waste of time

Monsters!
It's been a while since i've posted anything up here...it's been a busy year this year and things fell behind. I've been Busy working on the Only Living Boy( the webcomic and print comic both www.OLBCOMIC.com) and working up to a new KickStarter project called "Monsterwood."
That said, I really want to thank anyone and everyone who nominated The Only Living Boy from mysefl and David Gallaher for the "Best Publication for Younger Readers" Award for the Harvey's.
For those of you who don't know, the Harvey's( named after Harvey Kurtzmann the famous cartoonist) are a peer chosen award. Only people in the industry can nominate and vote. ( So if

Cover Art vs retouched photo covers!
I saw an awesome documentary on the rise and fall of video tape and the vcr as a medium and a phenomenon, called "rEWIND THIS"( sorry keyboard has an "r" problem since the flood). On top of all the video tape stuff, there was a whole segment on video tape covers and how they could sell a crappy movie at the video store with an awesome painted cover( usually involving big guns, muscles, zombies, skulls, and breasts) It made me realize the power that the illustration has to sell an item and how a lot of the "photo covers" of books and albums right now seems uninspiring and probably doesn't help sell the wor
