1) Be one of the first 9 people commenting on this journal entry, and I will add you to the Promotional List

2) For each of the 9 first people answering this journal I will put his/her avatar and the three deviations I like most from his/her gallery on the list.

3) If you answer, you'll have to do the same in your journal, putting me on the first place, completing this way the list with 10 people. The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone!

i'm looking forward to seeing some new work and exploring some new galleries so get posting! sadly i don't have a pro account so you'll have to follow a lot of links, but i promise it's worth it.

FOR REAL THIS TIME!!!

it's been a pretty long road with plenty of discouraging setbacks but the time has at last arrived. the first hardcover collection of Awakening, the comic book i illustrate is available to the world for pre-order. i've been busy busy busy for the past year working on this and everything else, and i've let my deviantart presence fade a bit more than i'd like but if anyone out there is still paying attenion, here goes:

we've put together one hell of a deal with DCBS (Discount Comic Book Service) to not only offer the book with an EXCLUSIVE PRINT signed by Alex Eckman-Lawn aka  but also at the unbelievable discount of 45% off cover price!

That makes the book only $10.97!! Including the sweet sweet print!!!

And the best part? They ship internationally. All of the folks who've been asking us when/where they can get the book outside of the U.S. - this is it!! Spread your Awakening love all over the world, me scalawags.

Head on over and pre-order your copy ASAP:

Awakening Volume One at DCBS for $10.97 - includes EXCLUSIVE PRINT! - www.dcbservice.com/product.asp…

The solicitation for Awakening Volume One reads as follows:

“The once peaceful city of Park Falls has been tainted by a series of gruesome murders and missing persons. Cynthia Ford, well known as the town crazy, comes forward to speak with retired police detective Derrick Peters one January afternoon. She claims to have information about the murders, but does she hold the key to unlocking the mystery or has she truly gone insane?

To Derrick’s disbelief she utters one word:

Zombies.

Unable to ignore Cynthia’s information, though not sharing her beliefs, Derrick and others in the city explore the mystery as weeks turn to months and the death toll rises. Could Cynthia have been right? Follow the first half of Park Falls’s year-long struggle for answers here…”

Want to check out more of the book first? Head over to the Awakening section in our gallery.

About Awakening: Chapters 1 – 3 of Awakening were originally serialized and released in 2007 to rave reviews and four British Eagle Award nominations: Favourite Newcomer Writer (Nick Tapalansky), Favourite Full Colour Comic Book – American, Favourite New Comic Book, and Favourite Letterer (Thomas Mauer). Fans and critics alike enjoyed the unique take on the zombie genre, focusing on the noir mystery of a city slowly rotting from within rather than the typical mass uprising/fight for survival. Referred to as existential horror by the publisher, critics have said that it’s “The coolest and most original zombie piece since The Walking Dead,” (Broken Frontier), “The next 30 Days of Night,” (The Pullbox), and that main character Derrick Peters is “where Phillip Marlowe meets George Romero,” (Horrorview).

any help you can give us would be amazing. tell your friends, tell your enemies. lets make it happen! as always, i'm willing to promise love and devotion. anything more costs extra.

anyone care to share how they feel about the new mastodon record?

it's true! ol' Abones still has some fight left in him! work and life have been keeping me away from this corner of the internet too much lately, and i'm going to try and fix that.

on the plus side, december should be a big month for me, and not just cause of  JC's birthday. i'm not even talking about MY birthday this time. i've got a lot of big projects that will finally be seeing release this month(and in the coming months) and i'm hoping to keep you all in the loop as they happen. hope you haven't all moved on without me!

also ive found a ton of new work right here on DA that got my blood a pumpin! i can't wait to explore everything and everyone's work. onward to discovery!

also, you should all buy the new Architect album cause i did all the art! also, it's a sick album by a great band. seirously!
