Here are some of the illustrations drawn by members of Periscope, that were published in the Emerald City Comic Con’s Monsters and Dames charity artbook! Behold Colleen Coover and Steve Lieber!  Monster and Dames art by Colleen Coover  Monsters and Dames art by Steve Lieber Steve Lieber will be appearing on Erika Moen’s ustream video broadcast tonight at 7:30 pm PST. Edit: The archive is up! Periscope sends its congratulations to the 2008 Oregon Book Award winner, Sara Ryan! Sara won for her second novel The Rules for Hearts. As a comics writer, Sara has worked with a number of Periscope members, Ron Chan on Flytrap, Cat Ellis on Einbahnstrasse Waltz, Jonathan Case on the comics adaptation of Tori Amos’s song “Take to the Sky” for the recent Comic Book Tattoo collection, and on a variety of stories with her husband Steve Lieber. You can visit her blog and congratulate her.! Steve Lieber will be a guest at a Seattle Comics Convention on Sunday, October 26. Among the other guests will be the all-around genius and great friend of Periscope, Paul Chadwick. Also, Jonathan Hennessey, Aaron McConnell’s collaborator on The United States Constitution: A Graphic Adaptation, is touring to promote the book. Aaron’s going to be staying home promoting the new baby. 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. Steve Lieber is 41 today. Go visit his new website and tell him he’s old. I know everyone’s waiting for a Simpsons-style Omar. Sorry about that! In the meantime, here’s a commissioned sketch I drew for a fan at the Emerald City Comicon. It was interesting to approach a picture of a tv character as if they were someone in a crime comic.
Jimmy McNulty and Bunk Moreland take one more ride on the Jameson/Glenlivet Express. Rick Remender will be there, ruling the room like some god-king, and he’ll be signing at both Dark Horse and Image. I’ll be there in artists’ alley, booth AA10, sketching God knows what, and I’m signing at Dark Horse Saturday at 11:30 for the big Escapist gang signing. Also at my table at various times: my wife and occasional collaborator Sara Ryan and our friend Jeff Preucher. Paul Guinan and Terri Nelson will be at the show too, umm… somewhere. I’m a big help. I can’t speak for any of the others but if you stop by my table and mention you saw this, I’ll be happy to scribble out a free quickie sketch for you. You’ll be all like, “hey thanks!” and I’ll be all like “no problem” and you’ll be all like “no really,” and I’ll be all like “naw it’s cool.” So, yeah. Just be glad I didn’t draw Domenick Lombardozzi naked with a chef’s hat.
