Why don't you love me anymore, Spike?

[ Posted by Shojinstudios on Sep 29th, 2007 10:52 PM ]...

Spike, I saw you at the Con back in august, but I had met you in San Diego back in 05! We walked down the gaslight district with Tony Akins chatting about the furry people community and other related topics,lol. Anyway I don't know if you remember me but hopefully I'll see you again in Chicago sometime, take care!

Thanks for the add!

I'm a really big fan of Templar Arizona. It's wonderful to find a comic with great art *and* a facisnating plot line!

I also really like the two comics you've got here at ComicSpace too.

Thank you for adding me. I found you through The Ormes Society and have literally been eating up Templar, Arizona. I absolutely friggin' LOVE it. An Asian with a Polish name...Now, that's DIVERSITY!

Congrats on the Glyphs Awards nominations, BTW! :)

Hi,

I just started reading Templar and I like what I see. I'm not sure that I share your choice of sandwiches though. I used to work in a frozen waffle factory you see...

Actually there's nothing especially gross in them. The smell just reminds me of that experience and I'd rather not be.

Your characters really come alive. I especially appreciate Zora and the way she interacted with Gene. Nice work.

Don't get Yo Punk Ass in trouble then, girl!

Thanks for the updates! I've been following for a while now. I even saw it on Publisher's Weekly, THE BEAT, by Heidi McDonald. Plenty of folks are in your corner!

Spike you should have no prob getting a publisher, Damn sweet art! I can totally appreciate your art and the effort it took. Great stuff mujer! Oh ty 4 d add!

[ Posted by Samdegraff on Jan 7th, 2007 6:43 AM ]...

Thanks for the add. So I went to one of the links you provided yto check out your stuff. And I start reading the comic of arizona. and I first thought, ok... decent line work. Not sure of the style though... And then I noticed I had read 15 or so pages? and had been totally engrossed in a story about people who should have been uninteresting, doing ordinary things... HOW THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?! I swear, I was completely swept up in it. Damnedest thing. you have a gift of making the ordinary something brilliant.
Normally If I like something I just say "I liked your work" or something. But I felt like I should go into more depth with this one, concidering.

Hey there, just dropping a comment your way. Talk to ya later!

Hi there! We’re starting up this year’s Small Press Idol…and wanted to invite you to the grand unveiling of this year’s Guidelines. I apologize for the all-in-one nature of this. At this time, individuals and teams have a little over a month to get things together and be ready to post their Round 1 entries. Round 1 will last till March 25th. It’s a solid window to get a project together and qualified for Round 2 past our judge panel. If you are interested in being a contestant, this is fair warning to get a project going!
If you are a news outlet or resource of any sort, we invite you to help spread the word about Small Press Idol, and get on the official Sponsors and Supporters list on the Idol Main Page. Traditionally, the page has gotten hundreds of thousands of hits a month for the 5 months the contest runs. All we ask in return for the link placement on our prominently placed list, is a link back in some way that is fairly prominent, and that you indeed cover the contest if you are a news site. You can contact us about that right from the guidelines page.
Just want to watch the show? That’s great! Now is time to sign up at the site so you can VOTE in the rounds to come, and post comments about your favorites! We’re expecting hundreds of contestants this year. It should be a lot of fun!

/Idol07/index.html

Hope this message reaches you in the spirit it was intended, you are welcome to ask questions, and otherwise make sure this is for real. This is the fourth year for the SPI. Last year’s contest pages are still online. So that’s what this is about, hope it interests you!

[ Posted by IronSpike on Dec 31st, 2006 2:39 PM ]... And a belated thank you for that. When can I expect the Gay Chavs thing to go public? Mockery of the stupid is my one source of entertainment in life. And does "chavs" rhyme with "lads" or "loaves?" Because I've heard it both ways.

[ Posted by illustrators_lounge on Dec 31st, 2006 3:13 PM ]... It should be up in the next two months, hopefully a lot sooner...Tarkan has just started pencilling the first page (of four). It's just a short funny script Alex put together in a day when he visited our studio. Chav is a wierd thing to explain to an American, unless you already know? It's a very British youth attitude and lifestyle, emphasis on attitude! We hope you'll like it anyway, it is seriously funny...we'll send out a message to everyone when our comics do come on-line, hopefully there'll be a mass-messaging function like myspace soon! Thanks for the interest, keep in touch!
