Well, I know this is not important, but it sure is nice. Congrats to Ivan and everyone in the book.

FROM YELL

A couple of years ago at the Comic Book Convention I had the good fortune of meeting Mr. From Hell, Eddie Campbell. Well, actually it is a pretty fun story, but I'll leave that to another day. Today I want to say that he is finally on line with his own personal blog. If you like his ALEC books or any of his personal work, will understand that he was the first blogger ever, with his very personal surrealistic stories. This same world is translated to the internet, for our own good fortune.

MTV on COMICS

This month on the MTV Magazine Brazil there's an article about Comic Book Artists that work abroad. I'm one of this guys, along with my friends Fabio Moon, Gabriel Ba, Clayton Jr. and other great Brazilian artists. The basic questions where: What the f@#$ do we do, How the f@#$ do we started and what the f@#$ we think about the comic book business in Brazil. There is a very interesting overview of what happens with artists and publishers down here. The good thing is that ,with internet and small printer companies, anyone can put their work out there, no matter what the market says.
