Oms en Série at the printer part II


The Stefan Wul fanpage on Facebook is posting lots of pictures of the first two graphic novels in the line (mine, and Olivier Vatine's "Niourk") at the printer, as well as cool pictures and videos of Olivier painting and sculpting.






I'm really loving this stuff! But then I'm such a geek for this kind of thing.

Oms en Série at the printer!



Oms en Série is officially at the printer and work is underway to get the book out by October. I'm a big dork for printing of any kind, so seeing these pictures of huge, pre-cut pages made me geek out a little!


Just thought I'd share.

Can't wait to see this book in print!

Mike

New Sketchbook on the way!

Hey everyone!

Frequent visitors to the blog will remember my plan to release a sketchbook, either a printed book or a digital file or both.

After mulling it over for a while, I had decided on a free digital sketchbook.  But after discussing it with the wonderful Olivier Vatine he suggested I do a print one through his Comix Buro collective.  He sent me some of the sketchbooks and I was bowled over by the amazing artists involved (including him!), the production value, and top shelf design! I was completely sold on the idea, and decided to focus on that one before releasing the digital version. (You'll still get a digital sketchbook, just at a later date than I had planned)

Curious about the sketchbooks? Check out the Comix Buro blog for some pictures of the actual sketchbooks.

Now, they will be partly in French, and I'm not certain of how we'll work out  the shipping to the US, but I will find out and report back when I have news. Right now we're packaging up the book it's self and getting it ready for printing.

Here are some sketches for the cover. Olivier and I discussed using the Comix Buro logo/cover girl in the book, and I liked the idea of combining her with the classic Rosie the Riveter image.









More soon, promise!

Best,
Mike

Oms en Série final cover



My partners in crime at Ankama,  Olivier Vatine and Olivier Sztejnfater, did a damned amazing job on the cover design for Oms en Série - and the entire Stefan Wul collection! Seriously, look how cool that came out!

I'm seriously so excited to get this book in my hands!!
