Our good friend and head production guy at Random House, Erich Schoeneweiss, has pointed out that Suvudu.com is holding a Holiday Gift Sweepstakes and they are giving away a set of Flight books, as well as a treasure trove of other cool books. Check it out at this link…

Flight artists Corey Godbey, JP Ahonen, and Israel Sanchez have artwork in this year’s “Hey You Guys!” Charity Art Auction. The movie themed auction benefits “Donors Choose”, a charity that grants school supply requests for teachers around the country.

Along with the auction there will be a screening of the classic comedy “Ghostbusters” at the Rialto Theater in South Pasadena, come check it out this Saturday!

Gallery show this Friday featuring new work by Scott Campbell and Leontine Greenberg. He’ll also be attending, so stop by and say hello!

Hey folks, I will be a guest at the Bellingham Comicon (Washington State) on October 24th. To make the event extra special, I have printed fifteen copies (POD) of The Saga of Rex which compiles all the material that have been published in Flight so far. The book is 160 pages! First come, first served. And if you have copies of Flight you’d like me to sign, don’t hesitate to bring them along.

The Flight crew pic we took last July at SDCC is appearing this week in Spirou magazine.
Because they’re publishing my fourth book in it. Pretty fun !

I would like to welcome you to Monster Isle! This is a new weekly webcomic by yours truly featuring the monstrous Gargantura (or “Gary” to his friends), Torgo, and Gil and their day-to-day life on the tropical island they inhabit.

A black & white version of Monster Isle originally appears in the weekly Athens, Georgia publication Jake. A week later, each strip will appear online and in full, glorious color. So, bookmark the site or subscribe to the RSS Feed so that you won’t miss these guys every week!

Hey folks, Michel Gagne here. My team and I are happy to release a new HD trailer of our upcoming game Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet. I know some of you have been waiting forever – and we still don’t have a release date, but hey, doing a game of that scale independently is no picnic! You can read more on the project at www.InsanelyTwistedShadowPlanet.com.

Flight 5 has been nominated for a Harvey Award! Congrats to all the artists who contributed to the project. Our good friends Becky Cloonan, Vasilis Lolos, Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon have a book nominated in the same category with Pixu. It’s a great book! I wish we didn’t have to compete! To vote for Flight 5, please visit this link.

Here’s a photo of the new Flight 6 banner for Comic-Con. We’ll be located at a new spot this year: Booth #2329, right in the middle of the bigger comics publishers. Little old us, hangin’ with the big boys, and all we have is a single book series! This should be interesting. I’ll also have plenty of copies of Amulet on hand, as well as previews for Amulet 2. I hope to see you there!

Hey everyone!  Just wanted to let you know about my recent project, Terrible Yellow Eyes .

Terrible Yellow Eyes is a collection of works inspired by the beloved classic, Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak.

Over the past few weeks and months I’ve been displaying a growing collection of works created by invited contributing artists and myself.

We share a love and admiration for Sendak’s work and the pieces we present are done as a tribute to his life and legacy.

Read more about the project here.

A couple of Flight names you may recognize; Ben Hatke, and Israel Sanchez have both contributed to the collection!

(And I’ll see you in Flight 6 with my first story, Walters.)

Thanks for taking a look!

Just spreading the word that I’ve started a little online store featuring specialty Grickle prints and original art. Making their internet debut is “The Children of the Night and their Dad” print set. Enjoy!

I’d like to invite those who live in or around the Dallas area, to come and check out the Industry Giants symposium on June 5th and 6th. On June 6th at 3:30pm, I will give a presentation on the making of our work-in-progress video game, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet. I promise to show lots of gameplay footage.

I will also be signing books and comics on June 5th in the artist alley section. For more info, check out the official website.

Inspired by folks like Flight‘s own Kazu Kibuishi, I’ve put together a step-by-step guide to how I make a page of Cavemen in Space! This covers a lot of ground that has been brought up from time to time around the Flight Forums and elsewhere, so I thought somebody might find it interesting. Take a look!
