Justin Greenwood has been a great friend for a long time, and when he agreed to do a pin-up for the upcoming STC trade, I could hardly contain my excitement. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Justin’s the regular artist on ONI Press’ Resurrection. Drop by his website and check out his STC pin-up, and while you’re there, peruse the rest of his stuff. He’s goddamn brilliant!

It’s been a few days since I’ve posted, but I wanted to let you all know that things are going well. I’ve finally settled into my new place and have been hard at work on Back in the Day. I finally finished greytoning the book, and I’m hard at work on the lettering. Revisiting the project as the letterer has been a lot of fun– some of the dialogue has me laughing out loud, and the story has a lot of heart. I really wish I wasn’t such a talky bastard in it, though. Trying to fit all that dialogue on the page is a challenge!

I’m also coloring a new project for a new, top secret comics company. I can’t really write more about it, though I’d love to. I’ll just hint that someone you know… maybe someone involved with STC (wink wink) is their new creative director. The creative team is top notch, and I have no doubt that this flagship title will knock you on your ass. Look for an official announcement soon…

I’ve never been big on sketchcards, but when my Gnome publisher and partner in crime, Jason Martin, called to ask me to pitch in for his Pulp Girls set with 5finity, I couldn’t resist. I’m not quite what the street date is, but the cards are popping up on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/5finity-Jam-Mixtape-Pulp-Girls-Sketch-Card-Dave-Dwonch-/110562712557?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19be0d1bed

So I’m assuming they have hit the shelves.

Anywho have fun tracking these down. If I was allowed I’d post some of my favorites, but contracts dictate that I keep the images under wraps. When I get my percentage of cards back I’ll post them here… and on ebay.

Talk at you soon,

Dave
