ECCC BOOK SIGNING

I'm going to be a guest at the Design Studio Press Booth at the Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle this Saturday, March 2nd. I'll be doing a book signing from 4:00 - 5:30pm, but I'll also be kicking around for most of the afternoon, so if you are attending ECCC this weekend, come by and say hello at Booth# 10042!

CBC RADIO INTERVIEW

I had a short interview segment on a recent episode of the CBC Radio program On The Island with Gregor Craigie. I talk to CBC correspondent Sterling Eyford about my new book and we touch on the topic of AI generated images as well.

You can listen to the segment here.

Big thanks to Sterling, Gregor and the CBC for the opportunity!

EK SERIES ART BOOK SOLD OUT

My first art book is out of print! My publisher, Design Studio Press, has sold all their copies. There are a still a few new and used copies kicking around on a couple Amazon sites and there may be some available at different book retailers, but that is it. Japanese publisher Born Digital bought the rights to this book, so they may still have some of the Japanese language softcover edition in stock, and may publish more in the future, but the English hardcover edition is out of stock.

Thanks to everyone that bought a copy of the book, and a special thanks to all that purchased signed copies from me personally as well.

I’ll have to get started on the next one……

THE EK SERIES ARTBOOK - JAPANESE VERSION

The Japanese language edition of my book, Born In Concrete: The EK Series, has been published by Born Digital Inc. in conjunction with Design Studio Press.

The content of this edition is the same as the original English language version that was published by Design Studio Press back at the end of 2013, but the book has been reformatted down to a new size of 9"x 10.5" (as opposed to the 11"x 13"of the original), bound with a soft cover, and fully translated into Japanese . While the images maybe don't have the same impact at this new smaller size, the book looks great, with the Japanese text giving the book an exotic feel and the coated paper stock (both inside and on the cover) giving the images a softer more satin finish. It even has that little title/price card folded into the book like all Japanese books seem to have. So cool!

I'm a big fan of Japanese art books (mainly animation production books), and it was great to see my book interpreted in this fashion. The book is available from Born Digital here, of Amazon.jp here.

The original, English language version is available here.

As for the original version of the book, due to it being featured (along with my Dystopic model kit) on the online show "Tested", it has spent the last 5 days as the #1 top seller on Amazon in the digital art category. Thanks to those that picked up a copy of the book….it is much appreciated!

Thanks to Scott Robertson and Tinti Dey at Design Studio Press and the guys at Born Digital Inc.
