A while back I posted the list of great artists we've lined up for the next Afterworks anthology and I'm happy to announce the addition of another great artist to our lineup: Scott Morse!
From Scott's blog:
"I'll be contributing new short stories, fully painted, to two 2006 anthologies: PROJECT: ROMANTIC and AFTERWORKS II. These shorts will be stand-alone, but also link up into a longer work. More on the stories soon! PROJECT: ROMANTIC is, of course, the third entry into the AdHouse Books line of award-winning PROJECT:anthologies. AFTERWORKS II is a compilation of animation artists out of Emeryville, called E-VILLE PRESS. These guys are GOOD. "
Keep an eye out for Scott's new book NOBLE BOY, coming soon!
For all the folks who keep coming back and seeing the same old posts, here's some good news.
Mark Andrews' epic Colossus will be released by Image Comics next year. Mark broke the news on his blog late last week.
Read about it here.
Also in Mark related news, he has also posted the first teaser image from his story for Afterworks Two. (Yup, AW2 will be a FULL COLOR book)
A new blog/forum by fellow animators here at Pixar, all currently teaching at the Academy of Art. Click the logo to check it out.
Here is some early stuff for the planned Afterworks Two anthology. The first is a rough cover idea (not the final cover) and below that is a character from a short story I'm planning for said anthology. The Sag-Dig is a mythical creature I had read about years ago in a book on symbols. The description was "a white dog with yellow eyes represents the unexplained". So the story will be based on that.
Afterworks Two will be a full-color book featuring E-Ville press artists as well as some new contributors. Its debut will be at the 2006 SDCC.
Some of our planned contributors are:
Jeff Pidgeon
Mark Andrews
Nate Stanton
Ted Mathot
Josh Cooley
Louis Gonzales
Sanjay Patel
Rob Gibbs
Kevin O'Brien
Derek Thompson

Here's a page from my contribution to the Afterworks anthology titled: Sudden Cholecystectomy!!! (aka sudden gallbladder surgery!!!). This story is the real-life chronicle of the sudden and swift removal of my defective gallbladder.
As a side note, I got the bill for the operation, which came to over $50,000! Thank god for health insurance.
