Hi, how are you? Our studio recently put a new site up. www.pencily.com is a great source of inspiration for illustrators, animators and designers, so I hope you find it as useful as we do!

All the best,

RE: MICHAEL GOLDEN CONFIRMED FOR BICS 2008!!!

Fantastic news - loved his work on Micronauts!

[ Posted by InternationalComicShowsUK on Dec 3rd, 2007 6:56 PM ]... Yes, that was my first encounter with Golden's work, and I was a huge fan even then. The great thing is, he's still developing his style and improving which isn't always the case with such well established creators in the industry.

Hello Lads,
AH!, merry ole' England!
Oh how I would love to come over to be a part of your event, but alas, I am but a poor and humble artist so for the moment, international travel is out of the question.
Hopefully someday I'll have my pennies saved up to the point where I can make the trip, plus make a pilgrimage to the artists Mecca...Florence, Italy!
-hope you have a fantastic and successful show, thanks for the add and invite guys...
