Lots more NORTH 40 stuff

Are you sick of my yakking yet? Comics Bulletin just posted an interview with me and Aaron!

They also showed the cover for #6 so I guess I'll repost it here:



I've never done a comic that's gotten so much press! I'm a bit surprised and really pleased that NORTH 40 seems to be getting a lot of attention, especially for a book with no big names attached and no familiar characters. But anyway, from now on it will be less talking and more art!

So here's a preview of issue 4!



Ah, the gory stuff is so much fun to draw. Andrew Foley can be blamed for giving me a taste for it. I have yet to draw another scene as sick and disgusting (and funny) as the thing that happens in the back of the limo in Done to Death #1. And I've drawn torn up bodies since then, but none as thoroughly dismembered as the ones in D2D #5. Memories.

Sequential Tart interview

Suzette Chan interviewed me for Sequential Tart!

For many years it was a vague, half-formed dream of mine to appear on that website. I mean, I don't really set specific personal goals for myself because I never have any idea what I'm doing, I just stumble through life and desperately claw at things that happen to come my way (hello boys).

But around the time I started doing comics, I definitely looked at sequentialtart.com and thought, "How cool would it be to appear on that website?"

Alter Ego Comic Cast

David, Jason and Austin interviewed me for this week's podcast, which you can listen to at Fan Off! They're funny guys and their questions weren't too hard. I can't listen to my own recorded voice without my eyes watering in discomfort, but hopefully no one else will have that problem.

God, my voice is so weird!

Newsarama: Aaron Williams feature!

He talks in depth about NORTH 40 with greater eloquence and less nervous laughter than I. It makes ME want to read the book. Great interview here!

I talked to Jamie Trecker from Newsarama about NORTH 40, finding employment, artistic influences, and other stuff! HERE IT IS

And here's the cover for NORTH 40 #2! My personal favourite character, the cool-headed old Sheriff:
