This is Wolverine 100 week at Periscope Studio! The Hero Initiative has received cover illustrations by Steve Lieber, Colleen Coover, Jeff Parker, and Dustin Weaver.

And although we ran out of blank covers the studio hasn’t run out of intiative with members providing cards and illustrations.
Today is a Wolverine card by Dylan Meconis.

Watercolor art by Dylan Meconis from Lady Parts, an exhibit at the Sequential Art Gallery

As part of their two woman art show, LADY PARTS, Dylan Meconis & Erika Moen will be having a book signing party at the Sequential Art Gallery this weekend. Dylans’ art. Erika’s art.

Dylan will be signing & selling copies of her vampire comic, “Bite Me!”, and Erika will be selling & signing copies of “DAR: A Super Girly Secret Comic Diary – Vol. 1″ book, which collects the webcomic of the same name. Both will have additional merchandise & give-aways for book buyers. (Dylan will be giving away buttons & Erika mentioned something we can’t repeat on this site. Anyone who’s met her will not be surprised by this news.)

The event will be this Saturday (April 25th), from 5pm to 8pm, with refreshments served. If you missed seeing either of them at this year’s Stumptown Comics Fest, then this will be your best opportunity to come by and say Hi.

We hope that you’ll join us for this event. See you Saturday!

HELLO NEW WEBSITE.
New scans of all the pages. New site. New eeeeeverything. And:
Only 10 (ten!) days until Bite Me! is for sale online! Only 2 (two!) days until Bite Me! is for sale at the Stumptown Comics Fest!
In celebration of the book’s print debut, I am declaring A BOOK GIVEAWAY CONTEST.
TERMS OF THE CONTEST:
1) re-stage a panel from Bite Me! and send in a digital photo of it.
Any panel you like. You don’t have to try and recreate it exactly – in fact, creativity will earn points. If you can get a celebrity to stand in for Claire, or instead of on horseback you’re on an elephant, or if you’re wearing a bunny suit? Aces.
The key is to get the facial expressions and general composition right! The rest is gravy.
DETAILS:
E-mail your photo to: bitemecontest@gmail.com
Please make sure your photo is less than 1Mb.
Please also be sure to send me or link me to the page containing the original panel you’re recreating!
All the original pages are now hosted on my own server - use them for reference!

PRIZES:

Grand prize is the deluxe Bite Me! package – a copy of the book, a commemorative spoon, a set of 5 Bite Me 1″-buttons, a “Real Vampires Don’t Sparkle” sticker, and an original sketch.

One runner-up gets the book with an original sketch.

Top 10 will be displayed in an online gallery on the website with my commentary.

DEADLINE:

April 24th – winners announced April 26th, when the store opens!

Dylan Meconis’s work will be part of this exhibit:
Out of Sequence: Underrepresented Voices in American Comics. It’s a traveling exhibit that starts at Krannert Art Museum, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and it “continues and expands on investigations such as Masters of American Comics, presented in 2005 by UCLA’s Hammer Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, by showcasing areas of sequential art that might otherwise be overlooked or underappreciated.”

Dylan also has a new Family Man podcast up.

NPR’s Neda Ulaby spoke to a bunch of us at Periscope Studio about how we listen to music. Alas, they credit me as the writer of Whiteout instead of the illustrator. Sorry Greg! Anyhow, I woke up to this story and slapped at the clock radio on instinct, then realized I’d cut myself off in mid-sentence.

Also, Dylan Meconis has published the latest round of her notes for Family Man. Is there a webcomic out there, anywhere, that draws on a wider range of influences? No.
