Back to Journal  « 2007 Submission Log: Weeks 12-13 | Extended Family Salute - April 2007 Edition | Kurt Vonnegut Jr 1922-2007 » Extended Family Salute - April 2007 Edition April 2, 2007 I got an email from Andrew at Chapel Hill Comics. The new Image Comic Texas Strangers is available now, with cover and interior art by Mario Boon (illustrator of my story "Persistent City" in both The Florida Review and the upcoming Hope: New Orleans anthology). Congrats to Mario on his big U.S. debut! (Speaking of Hope, the powers that be at Ronin are now aiming for a "Summer 2007" release for the book, according to the new fun page. I'll be sure to drop a note when it solicits.) I have a microscopic part in director Jim McQuaid's near-future newscast/film After the Peak. It premieres this Thursday, April 5 (7PM), in the Carrboro Century Center. I won't be able to attend, but I had a fun morning back in the Fall working with Jim and actress Jackie Marriott in a scene shot at Weaver Street Market. In other acting news, one of my scenes from "Balloon Animals" (by director Justin Meckes) got some airtime on the Independent Film Channel's Media Lab Uploaded show. Congrats to Justin. Futurequake, the indie British comic which will produce my script "Groundbound" has just been nominated for an Eagle Award. Good luck! And in the completely-no-relation department, local popscicle vendor LocoPops recently opened their Chapel Hill store. Don't know whether it's a good or bad thing that I pass by it on my walk to the above-mentioned Chapel Hill Comics... |
