Rantz on ISR on about CBT
 Been catching up on my comics pods.
Listening to lots of stuff while i fling ink madly at this.
Finally got to my friends at Indy Spinner Rack! Done some editing for their show in the past and got to press the flesh in NY a few weeks back. Really enjoyed sitting with them at the Con, and all the rest. didn't have enough time to hang out, i Will be back.
Wish I'd bloody gone with them to Hero Con as almost planed! darrrr! That would have been so much better than staying at home and breaking up with my girlfriend. I am such a dummy sometimes, it amazes me.
In episode #134 Charlito and Mr. Phil talked with our editor and facilitator for the massive Comic Book Tattoo. Mr Rantz Hoseley.
I had to blush, I had not heard the 'reasoning' for our story being chosen to preview on MySpace before. And I'm not above sharing it with you here.
Clip of Rantz embarrassing me along with many others in the book is here bellow, and you can catch the whole conversation on the ISR site here.
Hear he's back at the just regular insanity of getting Displaced Persons wrapped up! Hope he's getting a bit more sleep now after the wild success at the SDCC!
Last week we were also told the book was the #2 bestseller on Buy.com, #15 on Amazon's graphic novel bestseller list & #35 on Bookscan's!
Glee.

The Big Launch - Comic Book Tattoo.
Been inking, and writing, and doing a lot of walking still.
Up side to the insanity of visiting Toronto is all the exercise, reminds me to keep it going at home. With the always present list of things to do when your freelance, it easy to forget to get off your ass sometimes.
And of course the net always calls to be fed. To bad it doesn't take walks and crap itself. Been contemplating getting a dog friend lately.
 Didn't get to the big SDCC this year. Had thought I would but changed my mind. Timing was just not suitable - need to get a lot done this month.
But Damn, it would have been cool to have been there for the official big launch of Comic Book Tattoo, Tori Amos's monster anthology book!
The photo here of a panel is by the K-Squared: They have a nice full report posted about the panel at the con, with Amos, Rantz, and 6 of the contributors. And the Tori Amos signing later. And there is a clip of the panel posted here on Flicker by comiquero.com, dug up by Russell Lissau.
There's also some cool shots up on Rantz flicker stream. And K. Star St.Germain posted the first page from what looks like a stunning story here. And i love this shot Sarah Jaffe took of herself with the book. There's a set here of one of the signings. And bellow is Rantz with some folks who posted this on their feed, proud owners of a limited edition. I believe word is everything that went with them to SDCC is gone, all sold out! There's a lot of buz on this thing.
 Quite excited to see this thing, been kind of holding out in an act of perverse denial of reward i suppose. :)
I hope my story printed well. Kind of afraid to see how it looks along side some of the other stuff in the previews!
ED: New Stuff. 1st Review of the book.
Posed here on Bust. Dug up by Derek.

for COMIC BOOK TATTOO!
Thanks to Tori and Rantz, we are very honored to present Mark and I's upside down interpretation of Upside Down [vid].
It's been posted on MySpace Comic Books site today as a preview for the book. You can read it all there! :)
Mark and I are working on an interview with each other to be posted soon to go with this.
 This was a great short story to work on, I'm very happy with how the collaboration with Mark tuned out, very excited about this one.
Comic Book Tattoo is going to be an amazing showcase book, i haven't read the other stories yet, but i've seen lots of the pages here and there - the book looks amazing!
This is the first of three anthologies I'm going to be in between now and December, what a way to kick things off.Labels: anthology, Art, COMIC BOOK TATTOO, Comics, launch, News, press
