Random Swag and Card Post
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on January 13, 2009 - 23:39
I don't know about you but whenever I'm at a comics event I wind up with all kinds of cards and other swag with URLs on them. I also have a mess of an office at home which I'm struggling to clean up right now. So one of my every-so-often kitchen-sink-and-everything posts - if you've read any of these let me know what you think! Thanks.
- Lore appears to be an actively updating webcomic - no idea when I picked up the card for it.
- I think I bought a couple of copies of Sea Freak at last year's SPX.
- I have a Herman the Manatee postcard - I wonder who I could send that to!
- Odysseus The Rebel - a webcomic by Steven Grant and Scott Bieser.
- I have definitely checked out the BPM preview by Paul Sizer - great art, pretty interesting story.
- Summ Publications has a few webcomcs, mostly print though. News blog here.
- Couldn't find a website of it but here's a review of the comic The Common Bond.
- Broken from Hollow Point Studio. Website looks likes it's broken but here's a MySpace profile for it.
- I met Jeff Crowther at my first SPX back in '03 or '04 I think. He used to do Sketchbook and he has a few other titles up at his website.
- Artist Byron Winton appears to be in the process of ditching the Urban By Design moniker.
- Thefinebergsite.com URL is kaput but there's still a profile for it on Friendster. I had no idea that Friendster still existed!
- You can still find Poorly Drawn Animals at its webcomicsnation site. Oh wait you can't - all gone :(
- You can see sample pages of two Bromide comics at its website.
Sita Sings the Copyright Blues

Nina Paley's animated Sita Sings the Blues looks amazing (all I've had a chance to see is the trailer though) but who knows when any of us will get to see due to copyright issues with the song compositions (not the performances - they are in the public domain). Check out more details on Nina's blog here and watch the interview below to get the whole story.  Actually click here for Ninia's post on her current effort to get the film out to the public -- she still needs to raise about $50,000 dollars to pay off rights holders.
