EDIE SAWYER LIVES...

...on this billboard anyway.  Just finished this commission.  It was great fun!
I also just sent my "art guy", Simon Miller, a big box O' art.  It might take
him a while to sort through everything, but if anyone is interested in my
original art this is a good place to start:

iZOMBIE COVER STORY!

Check this out!  Aaron Ragan-Fore wrote a story on iZombie for the local
"Happenin' Hipster" Eugene Weekly. And the story came out today as the
cover feature no less.  Since almost all of the events in iZombie take place
in Eugene, it's fun to see locals take note and seek out the real locations.

MADMAN & THE ATOMICS IN 3D!

No, it's not new details on The Madman Movie.  It's three nifty "poor man's 3D" imagery that our pal, Christian LeBlanc made.  Select/click on the them individually. The first two images you simply need to be about two feet from the screen and gently cross your eyes until the two images become three.  Then focus on the center image.  It might help to block out the outer two images with your hands.  Groovy, right?  It worked for me almost instantly.  It took Laura a couple tries.  The third image is a classic 3D image where you'll need to dig out a pair of the classic red/blue frames.   Have fun!  But don't blame us if your eyes get stuck.

ALLRED ARTIST RETREAT FOR SALE ON OREGON COAST!

We moved to the big city a couple years ago and don't get out to our lake house on the Oregon Coast as much as we'd like to anymore.  So we're putting it up for sale, and at a "chance of a lifetime" price of $399,000.  We hope the next owners will get as big a kick out of it as we did.  Have a look:
Get your mail by boat in paradise on the Oregon Coast!  Boat and road access (though a 4-wheel drive vehicle wouldn't hurt).  This is the perfect place to escape and let your creativity soar.  Most of X-Statix and MADMAN Atomic Comics was drawn and colored here.  The GEAR also recorded most of their second album here with not a single noise complaint off-the-grid.  On Tenmile Lake connected to the famous Oregon Dunes and coast near the resort town of Lakeside, Oregon, about halfway between Washington and California.  Completely fenced/gated to the lake, four bedrooms (2 w/King-Size beds), four walk-in closets, two full baths, spa, decks galore (including built-in trampoline/play area & beach deck),  flat screen TVs, satellite, hi-speed internet, new appliances, new roof, stone floors downstairs, cherry floors upstairs, kayaks, custom furnishings included.

AQUAMAN RULES!

Did this recently just for fun...

JIM RUGG IN "THE MONSTER"!

Our last sneaky peek inside THE MADMAN 
20th ANNIVERSARY MONSTER is from
artiste JIM RUGG.  Check this baby out!  I
worked with Jim on the ONE MODEL 
NATION graphic novel written by DANDY
WARHOLS frontman, Courtney Taylor.
And do yourself a favor and pick up the super
cool AFRODISIAC book he did with Brian
Maruca.  And now, I'm thrilled that Jim is our
last guest artist on iZOMBIE in issue #24.
I've seen the pencils and they are KILLER!
To DIE for! MmmAH-Hah-HAH!

MADMAN MONSTER FLIES OFF SHELVES!

This week has been a blast!  The response of
THE MADMAN 20th ANNIVERSARY MONSTER 
finally hitting store shelves has been very gratifying
and even moving.  It's especially thrilling to get
reports that's it's moving off shelves despite it's
hugemongous size and matching price.  Now
whenever anyone asks me why I love comics
so much, all I will have to do is plop a copy of
"The Monster" in front of them and send them
searching the work of all involved.  Woo hoo!

THE "MADMAN MONSTER" IS IN STORES TODAY!!!

The wait is over!  This and so much more is in this massive
"Monster" of a book.  With every turn of the page you'll
slap your forehead and say, "How'd he get THAT?!
Allred is either much beloved or he has a deep persuasive
blackmail file on these artists and legends!"  Closer to the
"blackmail file", obviously.  For instance, this (partial peek)
jam generated by the wonderful pencils of Michel Fiffe,
inked by the dastardly Michael Allred, and colored
by the impossibly beautiful Laura Allred.  This illustrates an
essay on over 20 years of indy creations in comics by the
esteemed Adam McGovern.  Wait til' you see it in its glorious
11 x 17 format!  "HOW?!" "INCONCEIVABLE!"

CHRIS SAMNEE IN "THE MONSTER"!

Love this guy!  What talent!  What skills!  What the what?!
This and much more in the Madman 20th Anniversary Monster! 
 Be the first in line or suffer those crazy prices when this baby
evaporates off the shelves of your favorite comic shop.  Still
time to order if your shop was caught short-handed.  But act
fast!  Once folks see just how amazingly beautiful this book is...
WHOOOSH!

TODAY IS THE DAY!


The MADMAN 20th ANNIVERSARY MONSTER 
is supposed to be in stores today!  WOO HOO!
