speedy


Got some really good news yesterday about a project I'm working on.

Unfortunately I can only hint about my involvement. I'll throw up some slightly incriminating pics in a few days...


Until then, I have another meeting with Kodansha (3rd largest publisher in Japan) about some more work. Fingers crossed everybody.


Today's pic:

Speedy McFlash, the sporty death.

Comic Book Sound Effect Dictionary!

[Note: Check This $#!% Out was originally a seperate blog but is now a feature of patokon blog ] If you love comics, or merely find them curious, you're sure to be somewhat fascinated with one of the unique features of sequential art - sound effects.

Just remember...KRA-KOW!! is more than a place in Poland.
