It would have to happen. I've caught some bug off someone finally, in the depths of winter during the Aussie cons. Most of the people at the con had it while we were there but it saved me for last it seems.

So considering that, I'm just going to throw upa few of the photos from the Perth con, which, to all intents and purposes was a great success. From what I hear it'll be an annual fixture if the crowds continue to be this good. Thanks to all who came out!

Once I'm feeling better I'll get back to some actual art on this blog.


Chaykin and Jusko signing.


Yes. Jusko Cheese.


Jewl and Kandyse and some idiot.


Dalek Fondling.


Chaykin, Jusko, McKewen, Chaloner, Templesmith, Burgoyne and Yardin.


Chaykin says it's phallic. I say it's err...


Kandyse cuts the BSG cake.She missed the wrap party for the entire show, so she got a cake in Perth instead.


Saying the goodbyes after 2 weeks of convention madness.

Regular service resuming sometime soon. Still travelling and busy with cons etc.

Girls, this guy is the greatest pick up artist EVER. You will be swept away.

Enjoy. Dimitri.

If you ever wanted to read the first thing I ever wrote, Singularity 7, ( it's sold out basically now ) then you can now for free on Wowio. Same deal with the now impossible to find Blood Stained Sword, written by Dan Wickline that I drew.

Infact there should be a bunch of IDW titles over there now, with more being released in the weeks to come.

EDIT: yes, their website seems to be down until next month, due to them dealing with the new properties they'll be carrying. So just a little wait.

So I've been out and about flying down to Sydney and across to Perth for the series of cons that are called Supanova Popculture Expos. Sydney was a blast. Thanks to all who came out and said hi, and the organizers for making it a fun time. Smoothest run thing I've ever seen. They really take care of the guests. This was what it looked like before the masses were allowed entry.



Much drinking and eating was also done.



Joe Jusko is very awesome. Don't let anyone tell you different. Plus, he's an excellent painter.



I'll have the Jellyfish and Pigs trotter...



Fried Pigeon. And it was good.



Jason Chatfield ( who draws the longest running comic strip in Australia, Ginger Meggs ) Tim McEwan and some tosser on the far right.



Wolloomalooloorooboo. I had one of the best meals of my life here at the wharf.



Bonus points to Sydney for having a real CBD, purposeful landscape and design of it's city to make it look pretty. I wish Perth did the same. maybe it'll get it's act together in a decade or so. Things *are* changing in my home city.



Joe Jusko. With Alcohol. He comes prepared.



Hotel room podcasting with the convention peeps. With plenty of alcohol. I will link the end result later.



And now off to the Perth convention over the weekend.

Will you just look what I found over here.

thanks to lollobrigida!

If you like this one, there's plenty more in the link.



Some very pretty spins on Fell, the visual style, and a pretty cool idea for who could play him in film I reckon. Full credit to dontburnhot. Sorry, don't know your real name.

Now I'm off for 20 hours on a plane!

You know, I keep forgetting there's another book coming out with my name somewhere on it. Deadspace, from Image comics. This here is a cover for...#5 I do believe.

I'm about to head out to Australia, for some cons ( check my main website on the right hand side for details on them in the appearances section.) Should be a blast in Sydney and Perth. My bloggings may be a bit irregular bt I will not disappear while on the road too much. ( I hope. Internet in Australia is in the stone age compared to most western countries alas. Thanks Telstra. )

An actual retail store! That's like, friendly to the public and such!


A staged shot for the signing during an unrushed moment, since, well, when the signing was on, it was actually bloody busy.


Go look up what a Dirty Bronson is...




Any good signing starts and finishes with a good bottle of alcohol. ( Or any bottle of alcohol, should a good one not be found )


...and cups...lots of cups.


Mmm goooood...


Yeah, uh, still kinda good.


Several shots later.


The Treasure Island Comics Crew.

Alex ( owner ) Mike and Erik. New words/phrases learned during this signing include: Dirty Bronson, Scrotum Pole and Bromance.


Afterwards, Korean Sushi. Which apparently includes the "Chuck Norris".

The first French edition of Wormwood. Yes, a slight name change and a new cover to volume 01. Will be over there in September for its launch. ( Because Delcourt, the publisher is super awesome and nice to me.

Also: don't forget, if you're in the Fremont area in Califawwwnia, I'll be signing at Treasure Island Comics today, from 2pm til 7pm.

Treasure Island Comics 40819 Fremont Blvd. Fremont, CA 94538 510.770.1168

If you ever wanted the earliest issues of Wormwood but can't find them ( They've been sold out and out of print for ages and I get asked by people desperate for some issues all the time ) then I did just spy a complete collection up to issue #7 here, so if it floats your boat, happy bidding!
