EAGLE AWARD nominee from W27

Bulletin:

No, not me, but an artist I worked with. Two years ago, my buddy and I were putting together our second self-published issue of our b/w comics/prose anthology, WARRIOR27. Being writers, we put ads on Digital Webbing for artists and found some amazing ones to work with. One artist, Azim Akberali from Tanzania, helped create a 7-page story with me for the book, and now he is up for two Eagle awards - Favourite Newcomer Artist and Favourite Artist: Fully-Painted Artwork - for his work on another self-published anthology, 11th Hour, which was recently picked up for continued publication at Markosia.

The story that he and I created is here.

Take a minute and head on over to the Eagle Awards and vote for your favorites. It doesn't take long, and it's rather humorous to note that Matt Fraction is nominated for best "new" writer.

It's a pretty cool feeling to know I worked with an Eagel nominee, before he was discovered, and we've discussed working together again. Hopefully that will be sooner than later.

thanks,
chris
