Comments Off | Posted: September 8th, 2010 | Filed under: Shameless Self-Promotion
The first part of Cover Girl, the 2008 miniseries I wrote from a concept by Andrew Cosby, is now available to buy from Comixology. You can purchase it through the link above or in the BOOM! Studios and Comixology apps for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. There’s also a hefty preview of the first issue available as well. If you don’t have an iDevice or dislike reading comics on the computer, there’s always the collected print version, available from Amazon.
And then there was the time that Darkseid took some time out of his day to visit an amusement park and scare a little girl and her grandfather.

DESIGN FETISH: Cerith Wyn Evans and the Venice Architecture Biennale
Comments Off | Posted: September 4th, 2010 | Filed under: Design Fetish | Tags: cerith wyn evans, pet shop boys
I’m a sucker for nicely-done neon text and Cerith Wyn Evans’ display at the Venice Architecture Biennale is exactly the sort of thing I like, but I can’t help noticing that it bears a similarity to Mark Farrow’s sleeve design for and overall marketing concept for Fundamental, the 2006 album by Pet Shop Boys. (This is, of course, something only I would notice and/or care about. I’m aware of that.)
I’m sure I’m seeing too much into it, but there it is. It’s important to note that Evans has gone with properly capitalized letters and punctuation, something that, on other releases, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe insisted upon. Interestingly enough, Evans and Pet Shop Boys both worked with Derek Jarman, too.

From the 1989 book Pet Shop Boys, annually. here’s a look at vocalist Neil Tennant’s career at Marvel Comics’ UK offices in the 1970s. I’d normally post this sort of thing over at Disco Potential, but this features confluence and synergy with my medium of choice, so here we are.
