Simonsons at WW Chicago

[Miqque]

Berry- Hope it's cool to post this.

Along with a bunch of my buddies (Sean Chen, Bendy, Frank Miller and John Cassaday) both Walter and Louise Simonson will be special guests at Wizard World Chicago.

Thanks Miqque, I'm making that an announcement for now.

OOh, Alex Ross and Jeff Loeb too!! (of Anthrax album cover fame, and Smallville consulting fame respectively) (they also work in comics, I gather). Looks like a great place to spend a couple of days. Still, I was a little unnerved to see that if I put on some weight and had a nose reduction, I'd look disturbingly like Adam Hughes... if only I could draw like him! :(

I didn't spot the dates for Wizard World Dorset... they must be coming soon, yah?

[Miqque]

Watch the WW site, Dee. Yeah, Alex has lots of irons in many fires. As for drawing skills, take a peek at the latest (or is it next week's? I'm not sure) issue of TV Guide, with Fantastic Four art by Bryan Hitch. There's also some new 'names' coming out who are very hot - Tom Raney (more of a renaissance for him since days of StormWatch/Authority), Olivier Copiel, Gary Moss, and a bunch of folks who just plain draw real good!

I was, of course, joking about Mr Ross. I have several Astro City g/novels, and his work is always deeply gorgeous. It was just strange seeing him pop up on an Anthrax live DVD (trying not to look too awkward while talking to Charlie from the band). Sadly, there's a limit to how many artists' work I can look at before chewing off my hands in envy.

Dear Dee Crow Seer. Er new to world of tech, how do you get your avatars eyes to blink?

You say they don't blink?

Er...

I had a programme called Paint Shop Pro (for the PC) which came with a free add-on called Animation Shop... without a programme like that, I'm not sure how you'd make animated gifs. Sorry.

Now all I gotta do is figure out how to get to Chicago... :?

Yeah, I use ImageReady which comes with Photoshop. Any image-editing software worth its weight in penguin droppings will have a method for animating gifs, muckyshoe. If yours doesn't, it is long overdue for a ritual burning. :twisted:

The French edition of the first two books, in hardback, is apparently out, though I haven't seen it. Walter's very pleased with it indeed. He thinks it looks better than the US edition. Editions Soleil are, I believe, the publisher.
