Lazarus Burne, Best of show, & Bits and Pieces from the Week

• Another unexpected very kind appearance on The Jack Kirby Museum website; thanks to Andrez Bergen and his upcoming novel 'Who is Killing the Great Capes of Heropa?' I'm very pleased he liked the image. http://kirbymuseum.org/blogs/kirby-vision/2013/01/09/great-capes/

• Tonight at 9:30pm Queensland (or 10:30pm daylight savings time), the Late Nite show have kindly including my interview from November in their 'Best of' episode. Watch online by going to http://www.qctv.com.au/ and click on the WATCH LIVE banner. "Get to da Choppaarh!"

• Still have a handful of 'Soldier Legacy' packs left on the Big cartel store- I have to thank those that are getting on-board with this little offer of mine, and I hope the new readers enjoy the series. All orders, including print orders, have been sent out. Keep an eye on the mail box. http://www.paulmason.bigcartel.com/

• Colouring *finally* complete on the back up story in the upcoming untitled 'Dr.Nikola/Soldier Legacy' one-shot. The story seems to now have a title, thanks to writer and co-plotter Chris Sequeira 'Lazarus Burne's Maleficent Seven'. Awesome :D Think: "The 'Dirty Harry' of Exorcists" and you'll get the idea.

That's it from me. Swamped with work to do, no richer or well off for it, just a misplaced hope that you readers will like this nonsense when I emerge, and not the usual social media silence I'm slowly getting use to. Just goes to show the lovely audience for the Soldier books are a very "face to face" or traditional brick and mortar comic shop type. I dig that :)

Also hoping the long-battling uni thesis actually takes some sort of shape- Frankenstein's monster of sorts, but a shape nevertheless.  Frantically putting together the slides for next week's SLQ comics workshops, and of course stressing about things that are out of my hands, including the suspected injured foot which is preventing my training for the World titles. 

Well, that and the computer/drawing board tag team of course. It would be weird to jog after work at 3am, right? :P Wouldn't even consider the notion. 

Anyways, back to the lonely coal mine.

p.s: Oh, hey! Congratulations to Tristan Jones, Greg Mclean, Gestalt, DiezelPunk and the whole team for 'Sebastian Hawks' getting to their crowd funding goal. All the best :D I believe you still have a day to place orders http://www.pozible.com/index.php/archive/index/11289/description/0/0

T-Rex Jones's OzComic Challenge: Sebastian Hawks

Soldiers!

Tweeked version. Only slight, but a bit happier with it than what features on Facebook. Lesson? GO TO BED.

If you haven't seen on the Soldier Legacy facebook page, I recently plugged a link to the Pozible Crowdfunding project of Greg Mclean (Director of 'Wolf Creek')/Tristian Jones (good friend and writer/illustrator on IDW's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ghostbusters etc., and upcoming Silent Hill), Christian De Bari (IDW artist)'s upcoming Australian comic book 'Sebastian Hawks': Creature Hunter, to be published by DiezelPunk/Gestalt Publishing. http://www.pozible.com/index.php/archive/index/11289/description/0/0

Check this video out if you haven't seen it:

Having a soft spot for period action/adventure myself (and Victorian Era at that- remember the Chris Sequeira/Paul Mason back up feature in this year's 'Dark Detective: Sherlock Holmes' #7 and 8 by Black House Comics, featuring the 1880's Victorian Era 'Soldier Legacy' vs the mysterious Dr Nikola, and the "Hulk-like" Cold-stream Officer? Yes? No? Anyways, expect the conclusion in Dark Detective #9 early next year.)...hang on...gotten off track ;P

Anyways, Darren Close of OzComics has given Tristan aka. 'T-Rex': https://www.facebook.com/tyrannosaurusjones the keys to the Facebook page, to run a challenge that might snag the lucky winner a place in the upcoming book. So, digging the character, but having limited time up my sleeve, I scribbled out a page. Although, I wasn't 100% thrilled with the outcome, and only began to realise where I could tweak it, once the page was already up....ahh, well. Live and learn. Anyways, follow all the links to check out all the details to how you can get a copy of the upcoming book, 'like' the images from the illustrators doing their take on the character/s, and/or think about scribbling something yourself.
