New collection for sale!

Hey guys, Ellerbisms volume 3 is out now and it collects this strip to this one. You can buy it from the store or from my portfolio website (where you can also pick up my brand new Chloe Noonan mini comic) I’m also running a deal where you can buy all three Ellerbisms collections and save yourself £2.

For those of you who weren’t at The Thing on Saturday here’s a few shots of the interiors of the book (including the super special pull out section!)

Thanks again to everyone who came by on Saturday. There’ll be a full blog report sometime when I don’t feel like drop kicking the internet.

In other LRB news, I drew the 150th strip the other day. It’ll go live in a few weeks, but I’m pretty chuffed about it.

Hope everyone’s well?

Ellerbisms Vol 3

Hey everyone,

I just realised I never posted on here the cover to the new Ellerbisms mini comic. OUTRAGEOUS. The third collection of everyone’s favourite Marc Ellerby diary comic will be out for The Thing at the end of the month, so if you’re around London make sure you come along (or just wait till the Monday after when I put it on line.)

With this cover I had to, obviously, keep in tone with the previous ones but also show a new mature side to reflect the strips inside. I think it works better when you turn over to see the back…

As always it’ll be printed on recycled card (and the colours are much jucier than on screen – the card sorta soaks things up a little) and this particular volume will come with a special pull out section where you can make your own mini comic. Exciting! More on that later.

Here are the 3 covers together…

There’ll be some photos next week and just a heads up; it’ll probably be a little more expensive than the others as there’s more in it. Oh and I also blogged about my other new book not about my face, Chloe Noonan: Monster Hunter, on my Livejournal.  There’s a little preview, so check it, yo.

For more consistant updates, you can follow me on Twitter.

Chances are you like reading comics by me and probably ones about me. Well good news, fans! It was Hourly Comic Day yesterday and for the second year running I subjected myself to the horrible task of drawing my day. I’ve just put it up on my livejournal blog, so by all means check it out. To learn more about HCD click here but also click here to read hundreds of comics by the likes of Kate Beaton, Adam Cadwell, John Campbell and Lizz Lunney (to name a few).

The Young Adult Library Services Association

Love The Way You Love, the Oni Press series I worked on alongside Jamie S Rich, has been awarded as one of 2009′s Great Graphic Novels for Teens by the The Young Adult Library Services Association! WOW, RIGHT?!

Here’s the jist of it from their site…

The list of 53 titles, drawn from 154 official nominations, is presented annually at the ALA Midwinter Meeting. The books, recommended for those ages 12-18, meet the criteria of both good quality literature and appealing reading for teens.

Many, many thanks to all the Librarians who voted and to Robin Brenner, the committee chair. Also major thanks to Oni for providing copies of the books for the committee and giving it their all.

We’re in some great company, like Takehiko Inoue’s amazing series Real, and the Tamaki cousin’s Skim.

Personally? I’m excited and gobsmacked as LTWYL seemed to quietly slip under the radar when it came out but more and more people are checking it out now.

High fives to Mr Rich! High fives to Oni!
