Impaler

[WoD]

Can I recommend you take a peek at JEB's Facebook page to see some more (disturbingly good) images...really nice!

[Gavin_Leahy_Block]

Disgusting, disturbing and gut wrenching
I like it. Good work there Timson.

I like the look of this a lt especially the skin texture and blood splatters everywhere.It was wierd because as soon as i looked at it i recognised despite never seeing it before anywhere.
 
 I cant look at the Facebook page as i am not a member and whats more i am not going to be told that i "Must " do anything in order to do so.

 Shame .

Aha!  I started a blog for this very eventuality!

I'm a bit of a rubbish blogger- but I'll try and keep it updated with this and that.

Thats better !

 I have an aversion to Facebook.

 That overhead view on the first page looks like New York.

 Will have to explore this further.

I will be looking out for Impaler at my local Forbidden Planet. It looks like the breakthrough artist discovery of the year.

Pfft! It looks ok-ish, I suppose. I'll pick up the first issue (as long as it's under 2 quid), but I'll ditch it as quick as I did The Losers if it's rubbish. ;)

So good to hear your work will be seen in sequential. Jolly good.

As I'm sure that Mr Timson is too modest to mention it (that or too busy to notice) Impaler #3 is out this week and is previewed over at Comic Book Resources.  

This caught my eye

Timson has mostly worked on British projects thus far, but his work on "Impaler" is startlingly evocative. His fully-painted (or mixed-media) art shifts from bloody violence to haunting melancholy to pastel cheerlessness. He can do murky action scenes and crisply-colored diner sequences with consistent beauty. It's a savage beauty, appropriate to a horror-action comic, but it's one that recalls Dave McKean mixed with Bill Sienkiewicz mixed with Frazer Irving. CBR has a brief preview of "Impaler" #3, but while you can see Timson's skill in those pages, you can't see his range. And his range is impressive. He's an artist to keep an eye on, to be sure.

Some high praise there indeed.  Looking forward to it.

The preview is here

Some high praise there indeed.

They clearly don't know about the cheating.

Cheers

Brief but positive review at Ain't It Cool News: //http://www.aintitcool.com/node/41175

Cool, the first two have been excellent. Seriously good artwork from Matt and a decent undead yarn.

I was popping in to point this out too (as we know how shy he can be). Timothy Callahan knows his onions (he wrote the book on Grant Morrison's early works) - Matt should get "savage beauty" tattooed on himself somewhere (one word on each buttock perhaps). I think if anyone wonders why he deserves an Eagle nomination (and a win?) you can point them at that. Also glowing reviews like that are the kind of things that get the Big Boys sniffing round too.
