This new painting of Superman is now available at the new Art Store section of my website, which has been updated, including the illustration section.

Also, the amazing Brett Warnock over at his Top Shelf Blog has some cool Essex County related photos, as well as a sneak peak at the cover I did for their 2008 Sampler Catalogue coming this Spring.

Lemire's GHOST STORIES named Best Indy Book of the Year by G4tv!

Blair Butler of G4tv announced her picks for the Best Comics of the Year on the ATTACK OF THE SHOW program. To watch the cool video, JUST CLICK HERE. It's the last part of the video, as she announces all her best superhero picks first, and then ends by awarding both Jeff Lemire's GHOST STORIES (Top Shelf) and Adrian Tomine's SHORTCOMINGS (D&Q) as the two books that tied for "Best Indy Comic Of The Year". Thanks, Blair! Very cool.
