Eisner Nominations:

Last Thursday the nominations for the 2011 Eisner Awards were announced and I am pleased and honored that Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard has been nominated for Best Anthology. I was also shocked to discover that I had been nominated for best cover artist for the series. Legends is a remarkable book and couldn't have been possible without the amazing work of the contributors who took the time to play in my sand-box. I offer a huge thank you & congratulations to them: Jeremy Bastian, Ted Naifeh,Alex Sheikman, Sean Rubin, Alex Kain, Terry Moore, Gene Ha, Lowell Francis, Nate Pride, Guy Davis, Katie Cook, Jason Shawn Alexander, Craig Rousseau, Karl Kerschl, Joao Lemos, and Mark Smylie.

Recent work: It has been a while since I've been able to share. Clockwise from upper right: New Avengers as mice, Recreation of the cover of X-men #141 with Cyclops & Phoenix as mice, Saxon & Gwendolyn holding hands, & an anthropomorphic fox in armor.

Fan Art: This sculpture of Saxon was done by Richard Hiltbrunner. Thanks Richard for sending me a photo of your tribute to Sax! If you have fanart you would like to share, email a photo or scan to ericebon (at) hotmail (dot) com.
