Comic-con Banner
Taking a break from some ‘R.E.M.’ artwork to bring you… more ‘R.E.M.’ artwork. That’s not totally true – it includes a few projects. It is the sketch of the banner we are putting together for NY Comic-con.
This will be 80″ tall and 24″ or 31″ wide. And it is going to be pretty awesome.
The idea was a group effort. Dmitry ‘Lemon5ky’ Dubrovin had done a pretty awesome piece of promo artwork for Orange Lif3 (which is looking good and I can’t wait to share with all of you – just translating all the chapters). I pitched Zsombor on doing something similar. He had two ideas in return – but I pushed him to do this version and he even told me today that he made the right choice. I cannot wait to see this thing inked/colored.

Art and Body Art
As a lot of the backers for ‘R.E.M.’ have pointed out (thanks by the way)… I now have to put my body up for the book. We have crossed the $10,000 mark and I have to tattoo the tree of life by Zsombor on the entirety of my lower leg (the back). I have accepted my fate (my lower leg doesn’t yet know it), and am just a bit nervous.
Also, and more important, every backer at every level will receive a digital download of a print quality ‘R.E.M.’ poster.
We are now just passed the halfway point of the campaign yesterday and somehow things are still going… I truly appreciate the support of everyone involved – both as backers and for spreading the word. I just realized for the first time it shows me how many times it has been shared on Facebook. It’s at 703. That’s a good feeling.
Before this all started, I told myself – don’t stress out and take it to heart if you can’t raise even a fraction of your goal. Harper Lee had some advice for me at the time that applies to whatever you’re doing…
