Fetishman

did i tell you guys about Desire magazine? I’m sure i did. And by sure i mean i have no idea. You know it’s the porn mag that’s not a porn mag – sexy and a bit rude and also a bit smart and lippy. So smart, some might say, that they’ve had (had!) fetishman strips (strips!) in the last 3 issues, the latest 2 of which have been special 2 page spreads (spread! I’d swear sometimes I’m just an inhuman innuendo machine), the first of which is repeated for your viewing pleasure today and next Friday.

The second is currently in issue 73 of Desire which i have heard rumours may be the last of it’s ilk – so if you want to see the comic that killed a mainstream publication it’s prolly £5 from your local (well, perhaps not your local) newsagents. Or if it’s in Smiths you can sneak a sly look while everyone else is pretending to look at the hobby magazines on the shelf below.

laters!

Yep, the new fat chunk anthology by slg and the tireless jamie smart is upon us! and yes, once again i have been permitted to spew brain-flub across a couple of pages! anyway, in jamie’s own words:

“Fat Chunk Volume Two – Zombies is out now! It was meant to be delayed till next week, but people are buying it from stores already, so lets take that as a good sign!

Fat Chunk collects together artists from all over the world, from well-known comics titans to fresh new webcomic talent to urban toy designers, and everything in between, and it slaps them all together in a tidy little digest-size anthology! Volume Two – Zombies adds a little rotting flesh to the mix as a variety of artists do their take on the bumbling undead. With over SIXTY artists filling just under 140 pages, you’re sure to find some of the artists you love and discover new ones!

Artists involved in this issue include Aaron Alexovitch, Pete Underhill, Jon Burgerman, Marc Ellerby, Thomas Boatwright, Sarah McIntyre, Nelson Evergreen, and oh fuck FAR more than I can mention here.

Published by SLG Publishing, available to buy from your local comic shop (Diamond code APR090632), book shop, or from amazon etc! We’re only a humble book trying to promote people’s art, PLEASE spread the word and support Fat Chunk! (check out all the details at www.fatchunkcomic.com)

Thanks yous!

Jamie

ps. to promote the book, every day for the next week I’ll be exclusively posting up some of the work inside! Check Fumblog.com“

Comicpress you fools.

Just finished the auto-update process for wordpress and various plugins – a little glitchy but here’s the thing: it’s an auto-update. Ever since i lost a night’s sleep and went ahead with the change to wordpress and comicpress it’s been a like a tiny techy giddy dream! comics can be scheduled, upgrades are waved at me whenever they’re needed, a couple of hour’s noodling in the online directory typically yields a serviceable tool for anything from a calendar to SEO management. Leaving me free to draw more, or get distracted by shiny things. Either. Both. Whatever, it’s definitely a good thing.

A redone website owes its thanks to a number of people. Newt and Jim and Tim for helping work out what I needed and then telling me to use Comicpress. Tyler Martin for writing Comicpress. Jamie Smart and David Malki for using Comicpress and thus persuading me that i should just shut up and get on with it. Tyler Martin for the latest version of Comicpress which is slick and beautiful.

I think i’ve said enough.

oh no! i haven’t said enough! I lied! How incredibly bad of me (etc.). Anyway, yes, next Saturday, 4th July, is the Skin Two North Ball – which doubtless i’ll see some of you at because it really would be remiss of me to fail to attend a skin two ball in the city i call home (fingers-crossed Alex’s rubber attire will be with us) – but furthermore the indelible Ms. Orange has asked if I’d like to exhibit art at the after party! Anyway, yes, so for those of you attending the ball the extreme porn exhibition and the etchings exhibition and anything else i fancy should be adorning the walls of the Subculture! hey! how about i stuff the fetishman outfit! no.
