[secret project] is "Shards"

Postby Alex Steacy » 07 Aug 2011, 23:15

My long-teased [secret project] is "Shards: Tales from the Ruin Nation", a collaborative graphic novel featuring five artists. http://eximworks.org

It was written and concieved by myself, organized and produced by my dad Ken, and features the artwork of five very talented young artists. We will be showcasing the book at Toronto Fan expo and looking for publishers, but in the mean time we will try to find a way to offer pdf downloads of the book.

Hope you will all enjoy it!

Very nice. Give www.ka-blam.com a look. They are out and about at cons. I am using them for my DB books for printing. They also publish comics.

It looks pretty sprawling. I'm not necessarily one who enjoys graphic novels, but this one looks interesting and I've inherited a gene to help support new and young artists. I'll keep an eye out, Alex. It's pretty awesome that you finished such an undertaking. I bet even your dad enjoyed producing it. Hope it goes well!

You should well know my thoughts on this by now. Were I not suffering from food poisoning, I would be squeeing right now.

The 'Ruin Nation' would be the same universe, yes, and we can see on page 3 that there's at least one character we already know.
