Congrats to Jason and Guera, SCALPED is top of the CBR pops. Well, #3 anyway.

Here is the first pass at the NY4 proposal, from January of 2006, such as it is. Obviously a lot changed, a lot just plain sucked, or was tweaked to better fit Minx. I always love this stage of the proposal process, when its more of a conversation, a stream-of-consciousness than a formal proposal:

I wanna know what YOU would like to see from Standard Attrition in 2009. Azzarello shaving his mustache? Brian Wood getting facial piercings? Willow appearing on “Dancing with the Stars?” Will Dennis becoming New York’s hottest new DJ? More posts from Jock about his love of Patrick Swayze? More of David Lapham’s cooking tips? More of Cliff drawing talking Nazi gorillas? More mainstream work? Less mainstream work? Less clothes? More profanity? You tell us.

A piece for ‘45′ - a project coming out from COM-X next year…

Early on in the mix - just sent in to DC, an idea for SCALPED#28 —–

I’ll post progress as we go along…

Becky Cloonan found this last night, what looks like a student film adaptation of our Demo story.  It’s pretty interesting, and seems to use my dialogue word for word.  I have had a lot of students contact me over the years asking if its okay for them to use Demo stories for class assignments, and I always say yes, so if anyone knows of any others out there, let me know.

Unless this is some sort of ellaborate practical joke on the part of one of my many mortal enemies, it seems Wizard Magazine has picked me as their writer of the year for 2008, which is incredibly flattering and a bit suprising.  Over the course of 2008, I had my characters blow themselves up, smoke black tar heroin, fuck each other, fuck a dead dog, eat human flesh, slap nuns, punch nurses, terrorize teenage girls with giant birds, fight a bear, shoot children, decapitate Skrulls, yank eyeballs out, drink excessively, brood, curse, piss on fresh graves and beat someone unconscious with a Bible.  Just goes to show I guess, folks like feel-good stories.  Look for 2009 to be way bigger and better.  But probably with less beastiality (sory, Jock).

Huge thanks to Will Dennis and Pornsak Pichetshote for sorting out a great party for friday night. Sorry to Brian Wood for bugging him about taking photo’s, but it was worth it, as seen earlier…

Went over to Will’s home on sunday, but had to leave early so I could take my family up the Empire State - turned out we went up at a pretty good time—-

Both times I’d been to NYC before, I’d spent the whole time either at cons, or at MILANO’s bar…, so it was good to finally see some tourist stuff.

Then on the walk back to the hotel, saw some of my work up in Times Square again. First time was a couple of years ago, with some RUSH CITY art for DC and PONTIAC, this time it was that Aguilera girl… that’s two out of three visits to the city that’s happened, which is kind of strange. What are the chances?

A big thanks again to everyone who came out - til next time! ——– “that guy keeps bugging me about blogging….”

Russia’s top investigator is claiming that their wartime foes, the Georgians, deployed a cadre of female snipers from Ukraine and Latvia. The shooters sound an awful lot like the mythical “white tights” — the exotic, stone-cold, blue eyed, Olympic bialthete killers of Chechen war lore who were said to pick off hapless Russian conscripts.
