New things for March

The Mindscape of Alan Moore, Shadowsnake Films (2007).

The Adventures of Little Lou, Savoy Books (2007).

Two very different works approaching fruition this month. The Alan Moore DVD I’ve been working on since November but the release date is finally approaching so I’ve added the artwork to the relevant pages on this site.

The Adventures of Little Lou is a work of transgressive fiction by Lucy Swan forthcoming from Savoy Books. I’m currently finishing the interior design and the book should be published later this year. This is the front cover layout; more to follow.

ImageTexT is an excellent web publication produced by the English Department at the University of Florida whose objective “is to advance the academic study of comic books, comic strips, and animated cartoons”. The subject of the latest edition is “William Blake and Visual Culture” and to this end includes my written and visual account of the Tate Gallery’s William Blake event from February 2001. That evening of song and performance featured Alan Moore and Tim Perkins’ piece about Blake’s life (with my video accompaniment), a work that was later released as the Angel Passage CD. ImageText 3-2 also includes an essay by Roger Whitson, Panelling Parallax: The Fearful Symmetry of William Blake and Alan Moore.
