Things are taking off.

First off I just like to thank everyone who turned up and showed intrest in our comic at the Independents Day convention in Dublin. There was a real buzz and intrest in the comic rangeing from Emily Kennys impressive logo design to Anthony O' Neills savage art work. We also made 50 copies of a free web comic and came home empty hand which was indeed encourgeing to see. All in all it was a fantastic day out and myself and Mike really enjoyed the atmosphere of the whole thing.



The only thing that did top that was when Mike recived 300 copies of the freshly printed Nestor thursday morning. It was quit a feeling having it in my hands and was amazing seeing the complete finished product right there. Saturday we headed into town and got the book into 3 of our local shops. In the Ennis Bookshop on Abbey Street and I. The market you can pick it up in the Sceal Eile BookShop and O Connor's. It was great to get local support and proves that its shops like these that still belive in supporting Irish companies and ideas.

The book is currently retailing at €3.50 and for more info checkout the Abandoned comics website or face book page.

Okay really excited cause Nestor is going to be unleshed real soon....so  guys youv been warned the comic worlds about to get messy!

Weapons and gear build the fear.

Theres been a bit of intrest in the Salvage roughs Ive done...so much so Im going to put some more up for you lovely people to see how messed up this gothic space horror going to be.

Included here are some weapons,ships and of course the Salvaged!

The soundless hell of space!

I always wanted to a sci-fi story in the vain of Alien and loved the idea of human advancement being our doom. Storys like Frankenstein Mary Shelley and LoveCrafts Re-Animator played a big part in the idea that we move forward in advancements with the best intentions but this leads only to evil.

below is some early concept work.

From Baby steps to leaps and bounds.

The Work on Nestors picking up pace with a long time friend of mine Emily Kenny working her magic on lettering the comic and chilling covers. Dame Kenny is no stranger to working with art as you see here. ( http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=2204655962482&set=a.2204655402468.2102929.1429885372&type=3&theater )
Also Anthony has done a savage job on a promo poster for the comic. Both Anthony and Emilys hard work can be seen on ICN.
While Nestor isnt even out of the bag yet Ive starting writing up a new Sci-fi/horror story called Salvage.
A mix between HP Lovecrafts Reanimator and Alien ,the story like its setting is still light years away and trust me when I tell you guys there going to be no holding back on the carnage.

Repost of the Galway con post.

A bunch of us headed to the comics West convention in Galway. While there wasn't a massive turn out those who did show up were so nice and welcoming.  The boys from Uproar Comics were sound out and chatted to us for ages.  They were telling us all about their comic Zombie HI and how they went about getting it out there and the tricks of the trade which was gold for guys like us just starting out. Their man Kevin Logue's a pure gent. Anthony brought his sketches for Nestor and the feed back was great.....although that's no surprise the guys been busting his hump for me and Mike since we started the Nestor project.

Also on Sunday evening we talked shop with a really good friend of mine Kelly. She said she would help us with the Abandoned Comics website.
 ((Link info on facebook here http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Abandoned-Comics/301068763256088?sk=wall))  Its cool everythings coming together slowly but surely.

We gotten help and input from great  people I'm sure we've a winner on our hands.
