This sounds like something I'd like.
Post a reminder closer to the publication date.
So many things to remember...

wait, did you actually DRAW that vending machine behind her?

	From: brianwood	Date: October 13th, 2005 02:48 pm (UTC)		(Link)

most of it, yeah. compiled about 5 pics of machines together on the lightbox, redrew much of it, scanned it back in.

its the logos on the bottles and the series of white lines down the bottom that get me. such a great asthetic though, like bitmapped photos with none of the downsides to them

	From: brianwood	Date: October 13th, 2005 02:58 pm (UTC)		(Link)

yeah, the labels are bitmapped from the originals because I knew I couldn't fake that, although the larger signs up top i made from scratch or altered for legal reasons. Quality Process and jdang seo i made up, Coffee King was Coffee Boss, etc.

and you're right, redrawing printouts is a great and legal way to acheive that sort of effect.

Looks awesome.

Who's the publisher? Or are you venturing into the world of self-publishing?

	From: brianwood	Date: October 13th, 2005 02:46 pm (UTC)		(Link)

just realized that link doesn't work.

this is the IDW project I've spoken about before.

	From: brianwood	Date: October 13th, 2005 03:13 pm (UTC)		(Link)

	From: parkas_4_kids	Date: October 13th, 2005 03:20 pm (UTC)		(Link)

that's fine, my comic store'll mark it down to pre-order as soon as it's available. the owner's a big, big fan've your work, and he's always anxious for your books to come out.... ;-D

Looks great. I remember long long ago when you posted some try-out pages Kristian did from FIGHT FOR TOMORROW. I've been following his work ever since; it' great to see it all finally come full circle.

	From: brianwood	Date: October 13th, 2005 03:46 pm (UTC)		(Link)

he also did some very cool but very cool Couscous Express fan art back in the days of the WEF.

you should interview him.

SaaaWEET! I've been looking forward to this one even more than DMZ and Local!

	From: a_perfectcircle	Date: October 13th, 2005 06:51 pm (UTC)		(Link)

i just hope my shops open long enough to get this in :(

	From: toadsprket	Date: October 13th, 2005 08:15 pm (UTC)		(Link)

I met Kristian in San Diego and he told me he was doing this project.
And I must say, I was excited.
You guys sound like a great pair up.

that first cover is HOT.

	From: rdcoyner	Date: October 13th, 2005 08:42 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Over at Comics Continuum they have the solicitations posted for IDW for February, plus a different image from Kristian. Here's the link for the img: http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0510/13/supermarket1.htm

	From: brianwood	Date: October 13th, 2005 08:43 pm (UTC)		(Link)

that's not the most current cover.

Think it looks great, btw. Congrats, Brian. The next couple months (and hopefully extending outward) look to be pretty exciting for you. I can't wait to start seeing this stuff in print.

that looks hot!

Wow. Hooray for indie comic variants! I can't wait for all your new stuff. On that note, what's the deal with the Tourist?

Every time I look at this I keep thinking, "Haha, Burberry." :-P
