I got to do an illustration of my favourite comic book store, The Beguiling! I love those guys.

How did comic-book store The Beguiling survive a boom-and-bust market?
Peter Birkemoe doesn’t just sell comic books for a living, he is also a cartoon character in his own right.Bespectacled and slyly sardonic, Birkemoe made a cameo appearance in the 2005 graphic novel Wimbledon Green, a gentle farce about the mania of funny book collectors crafted by Guelph, Ont.-based cartoonist Seth. Birkemoe fit in well with Wimbledon Green because he’s a long-time denizen of comic book subculture, someone well-versed in the arcane lore of trading yellowing back issues lovingly sealed in Mylar bags.

In honour of the upcoming CBS sitcom, “Smells Like Teen Spirit”
“Comic book creators Matt Fraction (CASANOVA, AVENGERS VS. X-MEN, THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN) and Chip Zdarsky (PRISON FUNNIES, MONSTER COPS) invite you to come with them as they release SEX CRIMINALS through Image Comics in 2013. This brand-spanking new sex comedy follows two young lovers as they go on a lust-fueled crime spree with a twist — when they have sex, time itself seems to stop. Set in a world where the laws of time and space are as dubious and mutable as the laws of man and society, SEX CRIMINALS promises to scandalize, titillate, and provoke when it bursts onto the comics scene next year.”
THIS IS WHAT I AM MAKING FOR YOU. Follow our SEXUAL TUMBLR and of course or CRIMINAL TWITTER. We will not let you down. Unless you thought this was Green Lantern. Then I’m truly sorry.

I got to draw deadmau5
Getting behind deadmau5’s mask
The impishly smiling mouse head that Joel Zimmerman wears when he performs has become a symbol for the triumph of electronic dance music. As deadmau5, the 31-year-old Niagara Falls, Ont.-born producer headlines festivals and plays gigs in stadiums; his new album, »album title goes here« (which is the actual title of the album), is set to debut in the Top 10 of the Billboard charts this week. So how does it feel to stand onstage atop a custom-built gleaming cube, flanked by huge video screens, playing your songs to tens of thousands of dancing fans? [Illustration by Steve Murray]
