I'm the only British contributor among 25 of the best comic artists working today in a graphic novel for a new box set of The Ramones by Rhino Records. It's called Weird Tails of The Ramones.
See the commercial here : http://www.ramones.com/
I've also just completed a sick viral game for Bizarre Magazine.

Ilex Press, the UK's leading publisher of illustrated books on digital art and design, is developing a new series of practical how-to titles on creative digital photography, illustration, cartooning, animation and web design. The books will be in the style of graphic novels, and will feature two principal characters called the Pixel Twins who act as guides and teachers.

We are looking for a cartoonist/comics illustrator to help us develop the style for the series, work up the look and personality of the characters, and create material for advance sales presentations.

If this sounds like you, please email Alan Buckingham, Commissioning Editor, with web links to representative samples of your work to alanbuckingham@blueyonder.co.uk

Are you a local small press or independent comics publisher?

Do you want to showcase your publications and make more sales this month?

Then join David's Comics in a celebration of the local Brighton based talent!

Over the coming August Bank Holiday weekend a series of events will be taking place around the country to promote the wealth of independent British comics currently being produced as part of the nationwide event Independents Day 2005.

David's Comics (Sydney Street, Brighton) will be actively promoting the work of local and national small press and independent comics publishers.

The staff at David's and representatives of the local & national UK Press will be on hand to chat to customers and talk about the growth in homebred talent in the comics industry. Titles from Underfire Comics, Paper Tiger & Dr. Parsons to name just a few will be given pride of place at the front of the store.

All small press publications currently stocked at David's will be on show.
If you've got a new or existing publication not currently stocked by David's then make sure that it's in store at David's before the last week in August.

All local small press & independent comics publishers are welcome to come along over the course of the weekend and chat about their work.
