So I’ve had quite a few links that I keep meaning to talk about, but they always seem to keep slipping my mind, so here’s my belated attempt to rectify the situation:

You Ain’t No Dancer #1. The first comic to be published by Ed Brisson’s New Reliable Press, I contributed a five-page Exit Music story to this anthology, and it’s has quite the lineup of artists that I’m honoured to be a part of, everyone from Bryan Lee O’Malley and Hope Larson, to fellow Flight artists Neil Babra, Bannister and Jen Wang, to heavyweights Jeffrey Brown and cover artist Dave Cooper.

Click here to view the preview pages (all 33 of them!), and then perhaps go here to preorder your very own copy.

Elsewhere, the Flight website has received a facelift, and now has one of those ‘hot’ things that all the kids are raving about these days — a group blog.

Worldwide Sketchcrawl #4 is taking place this Saturday (the 27th), in memory of Pixar members Dan Lee and Joe Ranft. I’m probably going to be involved with the Toronto Comic Book Expo in some way that day, but that’s not going to stop me from bringing my sketchbook along with me and getting a few things down on paper.

If you are going to the Toronto Comic Book Expo this weekend (from the 26-28), be sure to stop by artist’s alley and say hello to Azad and Johane Matte at table A141. They’ll have copies of Flight 2 with them, as well as a few copies of Jellaby on hand. I’m going to try to stop by and hang out at their table in the afternoon, so maybe you’ll see me there.

Congrats to JtB and S. Finch on their 6 month anniversary of Tiny Showcase. They sure did celebrate it in style, with a gorgeous Carson Ellis print.

Finally, thanks to everyone that ordered a copy of Jellaby these past few weeks. You guys and gals are awesome.
