Altar of Meat 2008!
Posted by Jason at June 21, 2008 at 12:04 AM
It's time for the third annual DC Conspiracy BBQ. Some old favorites return, some go away, and some new recipes enter the mix. But first my supplies...
And for me to drink, of course...
And my sister, who was "helping" me:
The Feta Burgers make their return this year:
Joined by my new bacon-cheeseburgers (turkey bacon, mozzarella, and eggs):
Ready to go on the grill...
My Italian Chicken makes its THIRD trip to the DC BBQ:
And this time it's joined by my new Chipotle Chicken (tomatoes, chipotle peppers, brown sugar, wine, lemon juice, and garlic):
As you may notice, my BBQ ribs are not making an appearance this year. There are just too many people coming and I don't have the time to make enough for everyone. But I hope the new burger and chicken recipes will make up for the loss of the ribs.
See you all tomorrow!
Writers: Finding Artists
Posted by Jason at May 29, 2008 at 9:15 AM
In case anyone is interested I started a thread over at DC Conspiracy on how writers can find artists and how to work with them once they've found them. Like I said in the thread, I'm not claiming to be an expert on this but I have my methods and I think they've been working so far. Head on over and check it out if you're interested.
It's Eisner Voting Time
Posted by Jason at May 19, 2008 at 10:12 AM
Comics professionals should head over to http://www.eisnervote.com and vote for this year's Eisner recipients. I'm not going to beat around the bush – my book Postcards: True Stories That Never Happened has been nominated for Best Anthology and any votes that can be thrown my way would be appreciated. I really don't want folks to blindly vote for the book, however – I want you to know what it's about, see if it's your thing, and, if so, give it a vote. Therefore I'm reposting all of the reviews and features with artwork or full-stories from the book. Give it a look if you have the time, pick up the book at your local comic shop, bookstore, or library if you feel so inclined, and then make up your mind.
1 – The first page of every story in Postcards
2 – Publisher's Weekly preview of Stuart Moore and Michael Gaydos' Tic-Tac-Bang-Bang
3 – Comic Book Resources' preview of Tom Beland's Time
And in case you wanted to see some of our bigger reviews, head on over to USA Today, Daily Candy, Ain't it Cool News, Bookslut , Washington Post, and the 2007 Kirkus Reviews' Graphic Spotlight.
And then go vote in the Eisner's. Even if you don't vote for Postcards there are a still a lot of nominees that deserve your love.
