Fragrance of You

[NyX]

Forgive the intrusion but Swedish artist Robert Sammelin just contacted me to let me know that he's decided to go the traditional 'indie' route with the comic adaptation of my story, The Fragrance of You which tickles me no end, I have to admit. I figured I'd drop by and let a few folks know about it, and hopefully get some dialogue going.

It is a gorgeous looking 64 page full colour comic, and it is big - art book sized at 8.5" x 11" - so you can really appreciate the beauty of his artwork.

I don't take any credit for this - it's all Robert, 2 years of drawing to turn a story that took me a few hours into this beautiful piece of cinema on the paper, the secret is to read the pictures, not just the words. Robert's just landed a job at Marvel and is developing something for Dark Horse at the moment as well.

You can get a sneak peak can here, for the next few days, but this stuff is low res and doesn't do the finished thing justice:

Robert is up for the British Fantasy Award for best artist this year - what can I say, find out why!

Thanks for listening, I hope this will be the first of many good things for him...
