All will become clear.

Gavin Lees at the Comics Journal website has recently posted a great review of the Scottish underground comics scene, including the Wasted anthology where my Lusi Sulfura character appears. I would say it’s great, of course, because he says:
Alan Kerr’s “Lusi Sulfura” and Curt Sibling’s “Total Fear” are also stand-out works, mainly due to the sheer slickness of their art. Kerr’s titular demon is his sounding-board for railing against the watering down of alternative culture — from the limpness of emo to designer rock fashion — all rendered in a gorgeous pop art style with thick, inky lines and vector pattern shading. His cover to Wasted’s second issue even manages to rival Frank Quitely’s for sheer energy.
Cheers Gavin!

Well, OK, it’s middle shelf action.
Finally spotted a copy of Wasted in a newsagents, featuring my Lusi Sulfura cover. Being a nerd, I took a photo.
2 mags away from the Newsweek and the Economist. Hmmmm.

I’m taking a rest from the blog for a couple of weeks while I concentrate on a couple of full-time projects…
Try not to weep too much. I’ll be back soon.
I started this blog because I never update my website. Now I’ve made all the effort pointless by finally updating my website.
Come check out the Deadboy Designs gallery for some shiny new pics.
