Great work, it's always hard to narrow it down for voting but that's half the fun of voting I guess.

And because I feel like I haven't sung his praises enough: Steve's colouring has been pretty great too!

Agreed. I think Steve is probably the best colourist in the UK without a decent regular gig. Hopefully, his work on DoM may go some way to rectifying that!

(And thanks for the kind words about the lettering, PJ and everyone else!)

Cheers

Jim

Thank you both  If everyone buys Monsterology maybe that will turn in to a regular gig, It's got legs (some of the monsters have thousands of them)

Yes, though with the exception of Eisenstein, the other 2 are solely remembered by their highly questionable political engagements.

No they aren't Leni Riefenstahl, DW Grifiths are rebred for their contribution to cinema, the political associations are part of that but their politics are only remembered because of their contributions to film making.   

Leni Riefenstahl, DW Grifiths and Sergei Eisenstein are all pretty well remembered.

As is argued in the screen cap, Brendan has chosen to put forward his views on a leftist bias in social media and portrayal or race as a motivating factor in crime rather than talk about the stand your ground law.

His argument is slightly odd, because being liberal and being on the political left (socialist) are in no way linked and mainstream news media has the far right (Fox) and the right (CNN) in America. Social media is not a left wing conspiracy it's your 'friends' sharing things that interest them, if you have socialist liberal friends you get a lot of socialist liberal posts if you have rightwing Christian friends you get rightwing Christian posts, if you have both you get fighting.

I don't think he comes across as racist but he does come across as some one who has more liberal friends on his social media feed then he is comfortable with.

Brendan McCarthy's more considered response was far better constructed then his social media rant but you would expect that. His grouping together of large swaths of people as the hipster brown shirt left is disconcerting but we all do it (see my above comments about the Christian right... what about the atheist liberal right?)

As a public figure McCarthy should probably think though his arguments a little better before posting them on social media and maybe count to ten before posting.

This hasn't soured his art for me and I am both liberal and on the political left.

anyone else think that a Zarjaz Steampunk special seems like a good idea?

[Monsterology:]

Monsterology: I'd managed to see most of this elsewhere on the web and have ordered it, my only niggle is that the colours are overall quite dark and could use a tad more contrast. This, however maybe the printing or the whole digital colours not transfering to well to paper thing.

I've not seen the printed pages yet but it was the last time I worked in RGB pretending to be CYMK for exactly that reason! Unpredictable results
