Pin-up Announcement: David Petersen

Filed under: Uncategorized | No Comments »

I am pleased to announce that Drafted Issue Three will feature a full-page, inked pinup from Mouse Guard creator, David Petersen!

I have been a friend of Dave’s and a fan of his work for a number of years now and it was a thrill to have the chance to see some of my own creations rendered in his style. The skill with which he executed the piece and his fidelity to the source are both something to which I aspire in my own work.

I’ve had the piece ready to go now for a little while now. It’s been tough to sit on the announcement because I’ve been so excited to share it with everyone, but with Issue Three going to the printer next week, I’m finally able to let the cat out of the bag (at least a little bit).

Since Drafted Issue Three hasn’t been released yet, I am going to hang on to some of the suspense and temporarily refrain from posting the whole piece now. Once I get the issues from the printer and they are available for distribution, I’ll post the whole piece in the gallery (I want to share it, not hold it hostage). Until then, I’ve got a teaser below to heighten the anticipation.

I can’t wait to see it in print!

Cover of Issue Three of Drafted

That’s right! With the end of the production process in sight, I am ready to make issue three available for pre-order.

The book is on track to be completed and printed within the month. If you need to prove your super-fan status, pre-order a copy now and I will e-mail you as soon as the book is done and put a copy in the post, from me to you.

Not quite ready to make that commitment? Still want to be first in line? Then sign up for my newsletter and stay up to date on all the latest new developments and goings-on here at ewlynch.com. What does that mean? It means you may receive a newsletter from yours-truly as often as quarterly with a heads up on any new books, prints, or swag that I’ve added to the site. I’m not interested in spamming you each time I make a blog post and you won’t be inundated with ads. No need to be shy.

Would you rather just have a peek at the clean, new, cover art to cherish in your heart of hearts? Far be it from me to tease. Here it is!

Come See Me at the Wizard World Chicago Comic Convention

Filed under: Uncategorized | 1 Comment »

This will be the first time that I make it to a major out-of-state convention, and I have to say, I’m pretty geeked about it. Check out my profile on the official Wizard World Chicago Convention site!

The show will be at the Donal E. Stevens Convention Center from August 19th, to the 22nd. I’ll be debuting my sexy new convention banner and (fingers crossed) I hope to be offering brand, spanking, new copies of the long anticipated third issue of Drafted: A Story from the Space Marine Corps!

There’s a lot that still has to happen before Issue Three is a reality, but it’s crunch time, and I’m in the zone, and feeling pretty good about my chances, so I’m gonna start shooting my mouth off in the hope that shame will motivate me at 2am.

Also on tap will be The First Two Issues, limited edition Prints, original page art, and of course, me (for those of you who just can’t get enough). So if you don’t have anything to do on a long weekend in the middle of August, and you happen to live in the greater Chicago area, I’d love to have you pay me a visit at my booth.

See you there.
