It’s a limited edition book, never to be printed again. We have some copies left but they’re dwindling relatively rapidly. If you want in on it, best not to wait too long. We will have limited stock at C2E2 ( Yes I’ll be there as part of the 44FLOOD booth rather than artist alley this year, so come find me there! ) next month and possibly some for some other cons we plan on attending but the bulk are shipping soon. Best place to get TOME currently is our online store & soon in some other places like the good folks at Tr!ckster!

Will talk soon about the new comic I’m doing with JMS ( Huzzah ) and about ramping up 78SQUID… along with, of course… the fact that TOME is about to hit…then LUST and 44FLOOD is going crazy!

But first, Emerald City Comic-con is about to begin. All info should be below! Yes, been horribly late about taking any commissions. I should be able to fit a few in during the show! I’ll also have a very limited number of EXPLICITUS debuting at the con, the companion process book that goes with TOME… if you miss out there’s still a limited quantity over at 44flood.bigcartel.com though.

Commissions can be found over at 78SQUID! ( As with everything else ).

Off to Madrid & Malta shortly. When I’m back, I plan on actually staying in one place long enough to update sites and actually work properly. It’ll be amazing to stand still for more than a few days…

Some example commissions below!

LUST ART/PRINTS + VICE Series Announcement from Ben Templesmith on Vimeo.

The kickstarter has just 6 days to go. We’re using it, fundamentally, as a pre-order system to know how many to print plus give options of completely personalized sketch editions, kickstarter exclusive prints and various other fancy pants versions. Suffice to say this book will be pretty hard to get once the kickstarter is over.

Oh, and it’s going to have a foreword by The Master, WARREN ELLIS. Which has me completely humbled that he’s going to write about dirty things and what not in the book.

I feel things brewing in me, thoughts about the entire nature of crowd funding, publishing and the general nature of creating…so I’ll probably rant about things at some point. I’ve just been utterly buggered lately with travel and cons and about 10 different jobs on all at the same time. My body feels like it’s hurtling towards oblivion right now & no amount of coffee can fix it. So much to do, so little time. If I’ve not gotten back to you yet, apologies. I shall. Slowly climbing out of the swamp that has been the last few weeks.

YES, I’m there. Artist Alley, booth T1 almost the whole time. ( I have a few meetings & interviews where I’ll be away at times ) Yup, I’m taking commissions, have a few on the list already. Details below and via the “commissions” tab here on my site where you can email me what you want!

& indeed, I’ll have a NEW SQUIDQUEEN print debuting at NYCC I’ll unveil tomorrow. Because I’m fancy.

I’m slowly sorting out all the commissions ( I get lots of people randomly pre-empting me asking for em, ) so bear with me, you’ll all get on the lift if you want one!

By Montreal I should have a NEW limited hand painted zombie print. Squid Queen 1 is basically sold out alas. I may have just a few copies left. If so I shall bring.

To make up for that, here’s the last one AND this weeks! FINALLY, I’m on to the Cantina Scene, in all it’s perverted strange glory. I’ll do nearly all of them, if I can get info on them.

So, welcome the Imperial Death Star guard & his delightful interrorgation droid… and Dem Hazon, the first guy we see when we enter the Cantina, withe the drug addicted glowy eyes.

As per usual, if you dig them, they’re available over at 78SQUID!

And it’s back! TempleSith Tuesday: Each Tuesday I draw a character/s from the original Star Wars films, as they appear in each scene, starting with A New Hope.

The last one was Grand Moff Tarkin & his two buddies, which you can still see over at 78SQUID.. and yes, it was awhile ago, conventions & work got in the way. Should be back to schedule for awhile now at least.

This week, yes…. deep fried Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen. Each time characters change clothing or their physical form, they get drawn anew. This is definitely an improvement on what must be the most boring characters in the entire Star Wars universe…

If you dig it, it’s also up on 78SQUID now.
