This EMPIRE

Pardon my tardiness on the comic update it was suppose to be posted late on Wednesday evening (note: please excused late), but something went astray.  Work continues on This EMPIRE.

Item: Digger by Ursula Vernon

“And that, as they say, is that.”

759 pages, Damn. I first met Ursula through the North Carolina Webcomics Coffee Clatch, congratulations on completing her ambitious task.   Feel free to stop by and enjoy the comic in it’s entirely.

Item: Web comics weekly

I know mention this before; there has been some great conservation among cartoonists Scott Kurtz (PVP), Dave Kellett (Sheldon), Brad Guigar (Evil Inc.), and Kris Straub (Starslip).

Webcomics Weekly #78: Creative vs. Commerce

Webcomics Weekly #79 – Reputation

Item: Web comics documentary, Dave Kellett (Sheldon), and Fred Schroeder

“Stripped: Conversations on Comics” (Coming Soon) with twice-Sundance-nominated cinematographer, Fred Schroeder.

Okay, I heard this project mention several times, and I had to share.  Many thanks to Dave and Fred for putting this together.  I can’t wait to see this film.

Item: Eisner nominations

The 2011 Will Eisner | Comic Industry Award Nominees

The Will Eisner Comic Industry Award, commonly shortened to the Eisner Award, is a prize given for creative achievement in American comic books. Established in 1987 and first conferred in 1988, it is named in honor of the pioneering writer and artist Will Eisner, who was a regular participant in the award ceremony until his death in 2005, and includes the comics industry’s Hall of Fame.

Congratulations to all those nominated.

 

Thank you for reading.
