Vid reminded me that I’ve been slacking horribly when it comes to posting scans from the traveling sketchbook I mentioned way back in this entry. Well, I had a few minutes this evening to scan a handful of pages from the Empire section of the book, so here ya go:

Hopefully, I won’t forget to add more for months at a time. Feel free to prod me if I do.

I did an interview with Logitech – the mouse-n-keyboard folks.

Apparently, Marketing cut out the part where I shamelessly begged for freebies, which was probably the right call.

I think the sidebar quote about the Logitech® G9 Laser Mouse counts as my first-ever “celebrity endorsement.”

Wacky.

Last month, I pointed out that our friends at BOOM! were giving away free digital versions of their new book North Wind. While a number of retailers apparently threw a fit, it looks like the effort paid off, because sales of issue #4 of North Wind are UP 30% over the norm for new series:

“We did see a bump [in sales for ‘North Wind’ #4],” Chip Mosher told CBR News. “But let me put this in perspective for you. We usually see a dip of 10% or more between issues #3 and #4 for any of our series. That said, we saw nearly a 20% increase in orders between issue #3 and #4 of ‘North Wind.’ An increase like this has never happened in the history of our company. Never. Bottom line – we are talking about a total 30% increase over the norm.”

So kudos to them (and to everyone who – like me – went out and bought a copies of North Wind after sampling it online).

As promised, here’s the write up of the interview Lance and I did with Garrett from TTH at the recent EA Press event.

Jeff and I made an appearance on the “Pwned Radio” show on 97.1 FM in Detroit over the weekend. You can check it out here. It was a lot of fun, even if the slight delay confused us and caused Jeff and I to talk over each other every now and then.

Apparently, you guys nearly overwhelmed them with questions running up to the interview. Hehe.
