Well, SOMEbody liked that drawing, anyway...


Both the arm and the tattoo belong to a Mr. Matthew C. Brown of Toronto, and courtesy of the very talented Lisa at Sinful Inflictions Custom Tattoos in Whitby, Ontario. Yep, she built the arm, too. They can do amazing things in those shops now.

In other news: Like Indiana Jones rolling under the stone door and snatching his hat along the way, Fables 64 has narrowly escaped certain death and rolled out onto the DC server just in the nick of time. I think the colorist has a pretty hideously late night ahead, but if all goes well, it looks like the issue will ship as solicited. Hooray! So for those of you keeping score at home:

Fables 64: Finished July 2007, published August 2007.

Confessions of a Blabbermouth: Finished March 2007, published September 2007.

Kimmie66: Finished October 2005, published November 2007.

Only if the costume was tattooed all over your body.

Yes, the only thing that satisfies me now is a full-body tattoo composed of interlocking images of my characters. Think of The Enigma, only with Sera heads instead of puzzle pieces.

Wow, they did a great job with the tattoo! Looks almost identical to your original. Fantastic!

when people (as in plural)have your stuff tattooed on them that's when you are officially famous. expect your "welcome to fame!" packet to arrive in 4 to 6 weeks.

Actually, I get photos like this every couple months or so (This one was just especially nice.) I guess that means my packet is LATE. See what you can do about that.

But honestly, I think most people who have gotten a few comics published probably get pictures like this once in a while. It's pretty flattering that someone likes my stuff enough to do that, but it definitely doesn't mean I'm famous or anything. Free, permanent advertising can't hurt, though!

the important part is that they must now suffer the consequences when you sell the rights to disney to have a full length animation and accompanying toy line produced, and your tattooed fans must then either wear long sleeved shirts or hang their heads in collective shame.

I only got one tatoo (Cube's Posse Logo on Me Upper Bicepial reigon), but I think now is the time to drop on into my local ink shoppe again.

Just so you know, I am selling advertising space on visible parts of my body (Trust me, one well placed heart-skull and a URL can triple sales). An ink on my knuckles will put you in the hole around $50, but the forehead's gonna cost yeh.

Contakt me for rates!
