where-im-headed-lene-marlinI am willing to bet that most Americans are not familiar with the music of Lene Marlin. I definitely had no clue who she was when Pandora added her to one of the stations it was building for me, based on my musical tastes and all. The first song of her’s I heard was Where I’m Headed, and it was very much a Pop song, but with great breathy vocals…a bit like Leigh Nash of Sixpence None the Richer or perhaps Allison Krauss. And of course I knew right away that I had found an artist that would be put into my regular rotation on my mp3 player. I love it when that happens; it’s just so hard to find good music nowadays.

Protector1Just a little reminder that the newest book in the Foreigner Series by CJ Cherryh, Protector, comes out today. Protector is the 2nd book of the 5th ‘Sequence’ (5th trilogy), making it the 14th book in the series.

The next book in the series, Peacemaker, appears to be completed, although in a ‘pre-submission edit’ state, according to CJ Cherryh’s blog, Wave Without a Shore.

All the books in the Foreigner Series are available on audio at Audible as well, in case your interested.

A while back CJ shared a link to the blog of Todd Lockwood, the cover artists for several books in the series. On his blog he allows us to take a look behind the scenes at how the covers for the books come into being. Continue reading »

outland_poster_usHad to write something about an excellent post by Scott Dutton over at catspawdynamics. Mr. Dutton is a former artist for Greater Mercury Comics (Eradicators #3  &  #4), and has also wrote a John Carter of Mars novel, ‘Return to Barsoom‘, which is available free on his site. 

In his latest post (and first tweet!) Scott shares with us material from the press kit for the 1981 sci-fi film classic Outland starring Sean Connery, and his thoughts as well. It is a very, very long post and totally engrossing…there is a lot of great info and background on the motion picture and it’s production. Continue reading »

swlogotransRoman Morales III worked as an artist for Greater Mercury Comics in the early ’90s after getting out of the Marine Corps. His work was published in Assassin Force #2 and in the Grips Special #1. He also did the portfolio artwork for the for the character Edge, who was covered in an earlier post. Grips had brought a lot of exposure to the talent of Mr. Tim Vigil (during the Silverwolf run), and being asked to work on such a title must have been a blast.

He went on to work on several other titles for other publishers over the years, including Lynch Mob, The 10th Muse, and even an issue of the X-men. He was a police officer for about a decade and a half, and is currently a starring member on Mun2’s spanish-language bounty hunter reality show Fugitivos De La Ley Los Angeles (Fugitives Of the Law).

Alan Moorefield’s Batman Project 2012

I just found all 6 pages (and cover) from this project by Alan Moorefield on his Facebook page, complete with lettering. It’s was posted a while back, but still deserves a post.

I picked up one of the originals (a panel page) from this project on eBay, but had no idea how many there were or what the context was at the time. I bought the page mainly because I found the level of detail a bit stunning and, well, after all it was Batman. Truth be told, I was quite lucky to snag the page when I did.

In his gallery post he mentions that this Batman project grew from the opening splash (which is not in my collection) being the most popular page of all his comic artwork, and it’s easy to see why. Continue reading »
