Last year I lettered the 2007 Halloween Special of Morbid Myths. With 36 pages of spooky and creepy tales you are sure to be entertained from cover to cover. Now you are probably thinking I’m wanting you to rush out to your favorite comic book shop to pick this up but I’m not. Oh, no. I want you to download it for FREE! Seriously, I’m not kidding. To make this even better you can do it legally and not feel guilty about stealing it .

“How is this possible,” you ask? Wowio is Web site that is helping to bridge the gap between readers, sponsors and publishers. You can download all of the available books on their Web site for free. This is possible through the use of subtle, strategically placed advertisements.

Morbid Myths is only one of many available digital comics you can get on Wowio. They have a huge inventory of comics and graphic novels to choose from. Including the famous Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Head on over to Wowio, download the Morbid Myths 2007 Halloween Special and comment on what you think about the book and my lettering. You can also sample other projects and pages of my lettering on the right in the yellow Portfolio stickie.

Hi Fructose Issue 7I dropped in Barnes and Noble the other day to look over the latest design ‘zines and books. While looking I found this magazine titled Hi Fructose and was totally blown away by the art and illustrations inside the book. I was sure it was one of those European magazines that was going to cost $15.00, but to my surprise it’s cover cost is $6.95, a steal if you ask me.

The magazine features a lot of interviews of talented artists and illustrators. Just a few that I’ve read about so far are:

• Amy Casey
• Freek Drent
• Chris Mars
• Paul Pope
• Edwin Ushiro

The magizine is also littered with tons of advertisements for upcoming gallery shows and exhibitions. You’d think that a lot of advertisements would be a downside but in this magazine they are not because they feature awesome art.

If you happen to be in Barnes and Noble find this magazine and flip through it. Better yet, buy it.
