Pimping Impaler # 1

[Richmond Clements]

Excellent!
I have it on order in my local comic shop, so shall pick it up forthwith.

[Matt Timson]

The Impaler collection vol.1 I ordered turned up today (thought it would be a good idea to familiarise myself with what was what), and after reading that I moved on to the new one. 'Kin awesome. Don't want to sound like some sycophantic lickspittle but that artwork is properly good Matt. Seeing how much work went into each page I'm not surprised it took some time to produce, but the effort was well worth it. Hope you make some decent money out of it in the long run, I'll definitely be buying any more that get produced. How come we don't see more of your work in the prog?

Thanks- I really appreciate it.  The main reason you don't see my work in the prog is probably because I've never submitted any to Tharg!  I've always liked the idea, but the reality seems like it's fraught with opportunity to make a nob of myself (even more so than usual).  I also think that part of me enjoys being a fan too much to spoil it by turning it into a job.

Plus, there's that constant fear of rejection...

Maybe Matt will come to you Matt??

[Matt Timson]

I'd bet my left nut that you just made Tharg laugh...

Got my comics today, and they'd put a copy of Impaler #2 by for me. The story-telling looks really wordy and dense, and the artwork is quite marvellous! For all I know on the subject it looks influenced by Bill Sienkievicz. And it's better than the art in #1, which was already pretty striking.

I bet your Bill Sienkeivicz influenced pages were the dream sequence- right?  I confess, I was thinking of his stuff when I did them.

I'll second (or third) the suggestion that you should aim for getting something in 2000 AD - good figure work/faces, tight technical/architectural details and an ability to let rip with the crazy/gory when required. I can see that fitting right in - Ten-Seconders springs to mind, for example.

Thanks- I didn't even know that was up.  I'm always the last to know these things!

Superb whoring!

How could we not vote for you after that!

Good luck!

[Matt Timson]

I'm not too proud to whore!

[Matt Timson]

Oh balls- it's for creators only.  I've probably burned all my bridges there already...

Got my copy of issue 2 today. Really enjoyed reading it. More class art there Matt, I particularly like the explosion panel from the raptor's bombing run. Lemmy's not happy someone nicked his medallion is he, oh dear, I think someone's going to cop it now. Great stuff.
