On the DEWLine 2.0: Dwight Williams

One: Saw "Sometimes a Great Notion" on Galactica tonight. It worked. Not quite what I expected in places...but that's how it should be.

Two: Page One of Local Hero # 3 is tentatively tagged as done.

More to follow...

Just to remind everyone: I've yet to receive that third sketch request. Please respond at the original posting if you're interested.

I was there, along with about 20 other small press players from around Ottawa. I expect the weather messed up the attendance plans of more than a few people who would have otherwise shown up. It was raining rather steadily throughout the morning and afternoon, after all.

Still, it was a good time.

Some scribbles about Dr. Nautilus. Please note this is not his finalized deep-sea ops suit...or at least not his only one.

Back to an old office job for another 4-5 months for me, playing keyboard jockey. More than that on that topic, I am not discussing here.

Meantime, I'm over 80% done on the pencils for Local Hero # 2 as I type this. So I'm in the home stretch there, and seeing some of the inked pages as they come over the e-mail. I honestly think we're going to top ourselves with the second issue, friends and neighbours.

A quick b-day shout to alexdecampi, and I hope you've had a good one today, Alex!

I almost missed getting this and the shots that follow this one today. The timing was a happy accident.

Two more stores are now part of the Local Hero network as of this week, carrying copies of the police drama/super-hero series created by Ian Gould and myself:

First we have Mags and Fags, a news-stand/tobacco shop in Centretown. They're stocking LH in the mature-readers' comics and prose SF section of the store, right between Mad Classics and Analog! Kudos to co-owners Charlene and Christa Blaszczyk and David Morgan-Kirby for their support!

Second up is Entertainment Ink's flagship store at Place d'Orléans Mall in central Orléans, right across the hall from the ScotiaBank entrance. Many thanks also to Murray Sudletsky and his staff for their support!

E-mail addresses for each as follows, if you want to contact them to confirm availability of stock:

Mags and Fags: magsandfags@magma.ca

Entertainment Ink: entertainmentink@bellnet.ca

Both, of course, are also in the Ottawa phone book as well as being listed on Canada411.ca.

A piece of the puzzle: our Mayor and Sheriff in negotiations.

"Over what", you ask?

Only one way to find out.

Hi there!

In the run-up to the launch of the first issue of the superhero/police drama series Local Hero, there's going to be some stuff going on my Comicspace profile and that of the book itself that you won't see on my Artblog or Livejournal.

That starts today with the posting of the cover art for the first issue and the pencils for the first three pages of # 2 to my Comicspace profile. Writer Ian Gould and I hope you enjoy this material, and we look forward to posting news of additional news and goodies in the weeks ahead!
