The Book Collector by Daniel L. Maw


Our friend and Lucky Creature Attacks 1 artist Daniel L. Maw has released a printed version of his story the Book Collector. I got mine the other day and it’s a beautiful piece of work which meanders between dreamlike imagery, and Dr. Seuss on drugs. Those are good things in case you were wondering.

Description from Daniel
“For the first time in recorded human history, a complete and bound version of Daniel L. Maw’s epic comic strip “the book collector” is now available for your consumption.

See where the adventures take the mysterious girl and her ferocious fawn in their ambiguous and unnecessarily cute and drawn out story. Observe one painful non-sequitir and confusing page layout after another as Daniel’s shortcomings are revealed and he becomes distracted by commitments and life’s vicissitudes in the embarrassingly long 2 and 1/2 years it took him to make this comic. Notice the inconsistent pacing and drawing style that eventually developed to something nearly palatable about 2/3 the way into the book. Witness Daniel nearly cover most of his rent should he, remarkably and unthinkably, sell ALL the books he printed.

The edition is low and the price is cheap. Own all 62 laserjet printed pages (greyscale) on quality cream colored paper (legal size folded in half – each book measures 8.5″ x 7.5″) bound in a vinyl cover with a color silkscreen image on top. They come in blue and brown flavors. For all you collectors, there is also a color inkjet cover version to choose from as well. Own all 3! Send $8 (+$2 for shipping/handling if you live outside Knoxville) check or PayPal my way and be the first on your block to own this unheard of gem.”

Daniel’s email address to get one is mawdaniel@gmail.com.
I’d suggest you get one before they are all like valuable and stuff.

Mad Men

We just burnt through the 3 seasons of Mad Men on demand and even though the show is a slow burn, it does leave you wanting more. Anyway I find this dubbing funny, but sadly it’s partly accurate of the show as a whole.

changing seasons

I work my last shift at B & N tommorow, and I’ve got to say I’m ready for the change. Have a week off between jobs, but were gonna be super busy during that time.
Saturday we are heading to Piegon Forge, Tn for Adventurecon for shopping this time, not selling. Then home for a few days and maybe catch Prince of Persia, before heading Wed to Charleston, S.C. for a little overnight beach excursion. Home briefly on Thursday night, and then were off to Charlotte, NC for Heroescon Friday day and spending the rest of the weekend at Con Carolinas Pretty geeky week, but it will charge my fanometer which usually charges my output of creativity, so that will be good.

Con-news has a big week.

I don’t usually talk to much about Con-News here, even though I’m its founder and do a lot of leg work on it everyday. But it’s not usually as personal as the things in this neck of the woods. But I really want to share that we are going to have a big week starting tommorow thanks to a awesome partnership with Funimation as they promote their release of Dragon Ball Z Kai. It’s really something cool to be working with one of the last great American Anime companies and there support makes me so proud of the work con-news has provided since 2007. A website has certain milestones. I got a feeling this could be one of them.

Call for comic artists.

I’m looking for good comic artists who are willing to create at a steady pace, and want co-creatorships over projects. I’ve got stories piling up in my brain and scripts ready to rock out at you, but I’m looking for the right partnerships to bring the images to life. If you can draw, and want to participate, send me an email. All styles welcome.
