Muppet Peter Pan #3:
Here is the cover I did for Muppet Peter Pan #3. The direction I was given was "a Kermit and the Lost Boys cover". I had a blast drawing Animal (the first time I have done so for the Boom covers). I love doing these and hope Boom will continue to ask me to contribute.Peter Pan #1 will be in-stores mid-September with the rest of the series following monthly.
Fresh Ink:Today on G4's Attack of the Show segment Fresh Ink, Blair Butler named Mouse Guard Winter 1152 as one of the "five trades you should be reading"! Thanks to Blair and ATOS for the spotlight! G4 usually replays ATOS later the same night and again the following morning before the new episode airs at 7pm, so if you missed it you can try and catch a re airing.
*edit* You can watch the Fresh Ink segment online here
New York Times... AGAIN!
Mouse Guard Winter 1152 has stayed on the New York Times Best Sellers list for the 2nd week! Pretty amazing I think! You can take a look at the other 9 Hardcover Graphic Novels that made the list as well by following this link.
Old Time Radio:
As I have said before in blog posts (a, b, c, & d), I am a fan of Old Time Radio. I have Sirius Satellite Radio (channel 118 is the OTR channel) and between that and various OTR sites with free downloads, I'm able to program an entire work day with a playlist of the stuff.
I wanted to share a few sites I use and suggest that if you have a job where you can listen to radio without being distracted by phone calls/customers/etc...OTR is one of your best options.
Here are some great sites:
OTR.net: http://www.otr.net/

Dear David
I was wondering if you can get old time radio on CD?? My favourite is The Shadow and I was wondering if Chapters or other major book stores would carry old time radio CDs?
Thanks
Mr X
Mr. X,
I know that many radio shows are available on CD, and the Shadow certainly is. Sometimes they come in a grouping of the series, or a grouping of the genre, and sometimes they come in grouping of 'a bit of everything'
Dear David
I have a question that I need to ask. Are you going to start that "Legends of the Guard" project anytime soon?
Mr X
Dear David
It was a real pleasure meeting you again at Paradise Comics for ypur book signing!!!! Your artwork is incredible and the time you make for your fans is wei appreciated. I think what stands out about you than other artist is that you always care about your fans no matter what age/sex/status/race. I just have one question if i want to purchase one of your pages of " House of Mystery" how would i go about that? The reason i ask is because on your website you only offer Mouse Guard original artwork.
Thanks
Mr. X
(a.k.a Luis not louise!lol)
Re: Legends of the Guard: We are making headway into making the project become a reality (handpicked artist/storytellers doing a collection of Mouse Guard stories.)
Re: House of Mystery artwork: I'll be in touch by e-amil. And that goes for anyone. If you know of a non- Mouse Guard piece (Muppet cover, Stuffins cover, etc.) feel free to e-mail me through the Mouse Guard site)
Oooh Legends of the Guard, I hadn't heard of this - sounds like an awesome idea!
Also love seeing the fan art!
