Sheesh. Where to start? At the beginning is always a good place. As of this past weekend, I find myself the editor of Skin Deep, not only the biggest selling tattoo magazine in the UK, but also the best. Make of that what you will but I'm really stoked about it. It's good to be back on the shelf (now there's a bad turn of phrase) after such a long time and I hope I can bring something new to the table that everybody will get into.
In the coming weeks, that will have its own blog, so I probably won't touch on it too much here unless there's a nice big juicy cross-over... like the news that the Tattooed Beat Messiah himself - Zodiac Mindwarp - has just signed a new deal with an album in the pipeline. That big enough for you? Anyway, I'll let you know where that blog will be and also the facebook, twitter and other assorted paraphernalia that goes along with it.
Meantime, Mr Bevan is making some great headway with Broken. This is coming along just fine. I can't wait to get this one out and about. I'll be posting some of the initial sketches tomorrow.
And talking of getting things out and about, yesterday I finally got around to publishing Gelert: The Faithful Hound. For those of you who don't immediately know what it's about, it's a retelling of an old Welsh myth/legend and so happens to be the first story I was ever told. It's still sad now. You can read that in the digital bookstore here. See what you think. Artwork of course by the inimitable Charlotte Rose.
Things accomplished in real life: Started looking at the editorial and design direction for Skin Deep and noting down some ideas. Man, they just keep on coming. Seriously looked at the Great Dane Rescue website and am pondering the logisitcs of taking on a monster dog. Note to self: get car serviced. Soon. Really soon. You're gonna be on the road somewhat...
Things accomplished in fiction: Nothing whatsoever today - I've kind of got my mind inside re-engineering a magazine. Wait! That's not true. I filled a few notebook pages with the beginnings of a new Kang story by murdering somebody from a great height quite nastily. That counts, right?
