Jo Chen, Dave Bushell, Lawrence Leung, Zombies, Star Wars, Radio And An Animated Series…?

Yes, it’s a long title for a post but I have a bit to say… leave me alone.

JO CHEN

First up, our awesome cover artist for Star Wars: Invasion, Jo Chen, has been nominated for an Eisner!  We know she’s brilliant, glad to see that others know it too.  Give her awards, people.  Give.  Her.  Awards.

DAVE BUSHELL

Despite the fact that Dave Bushell still looks twelve (the beard fools no one Dave!), he and I have known each other and occasionally worked together for years.  His show at this year’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival is one of his best ever.  But don’t take my word for it, just look at the the amount of TV people and agents in his audience.  They smell success.  I’m not sure what that smells like… chicken?  Go here – book.

LAWRENCE LEUNG

One man who has smelt like chicken for a long while is Lawrence Leung.  He doesn’t need me to promote him, but I will anyway.  Lawrence is a damn nice guy with a great TV show.  Tonight he jumped out of a plane on television and THEN It got impressive.  Watch Lawrence Leung’s Choose Your Own Adventure (nice website) Wednesday nights on ABC or go see his comedy festival show, or both.

ZOMBIES!

I have completed my first Zombies related comic book script for a publisher.  This amuses me.  That is all.

STAR WARS

I’ve finished writing the first five issues of Star Wars: Invasion and I’m ramping up for the next arc.  In between these though, I’ve been lucky enough to land another little Star Wars project for Dark Horse and I’m really looking forward to writing it.  I will say more as soon as I can.  Star Wars: Invasion is all over Dark Horse at the moment, go check it out.

RADIO

I was interviewed by the radio program ‘Faster than light’ today about a number of things, including The Example, Flinch and Star Wars.  There will be a podcast.  I will post it.  Colin and I are also doing an interview with The Australian on Friday.

ANIMATED SERIES

Lastly, we had a meeting today with an animation company about a series that a feature film director and I have been wanting to do for ages.  I wrote the pilot in January 2008.  It’s all looking good.  Things will move quickly.  Stay tuned.

   I’m impressed, you say you’re just breaking into the industry, but you seem to have a huge and heavy grasp on the world you’re living in. I’ll be picking up Invasion thats for sure! For a while I’ve been wanting to find an excuse to start collecting the Starwars comics, I’ve been eyeing up Legacy and the Clone Wars comics (not the kids ones) but if this is all that I think it’s going to be, it’s going to be a MASSIVE hit!

   Good luck on the Animated series too, is that a Starwars one, or something else?

   Cheers mate.

   No, the animated series isn’t Star Wars. I’d like that gig though

   I’ll have more up here about it as soon as I’m allowed.
