				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At SPX I got to talk to a couple of the people behind the scenes at <a href="http://www.comicsalliance.com/">Comics Alliance</a> about the Monsters Project they put together with the <a href="http://cbldf.org/">CBLDF</a>. They collected some really great monster art from a lot of great cartoonists over the past couple months and the result is The Monsters Poject.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What&#8217;s the only thing you love more than sleep?  It&#8217;s probably food.</p>
<p>Now guess what the theme of the Boston Comics Roundtable&#8217;s latest Inbound anthology was? It was food.</p>
<p>So logic dictates that you&#8217;ll love it just as much, if not more than sleeping.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.helmsmanpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Inbound5_cover_800.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-48" title="Inbound5" src="http://www.helmsmanpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Inbound5_cover_800-191x300.jpg" alt="" width="191" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>The food issue is just that, stories about food. Fiction and non-fiction. It&#8217;s in Boston area book stores and comic shops now, and it&#8217;s available online at the <a href="http://http://www.bostoncomicsroundtable.com/inbound-5/">BCR website</a>. Inbound #5 debuted at M.I.C.E and it&#8217;s getting some pretty good reviews and I&#8217;ve been lazy about spreading the word until now, mostly because I hadn&#8217;t had a chance to sit down and read through the entire thing&#8230;until now. My favorite story has to be LineO&#8217;s <span style="color: #ffffff;">The Sardine&#8217;s Tale</span> but I genuinely love this book as a whole.</p>
<p>I managed to work an actual recipe into my story, <span style="color: #ffffff;">The Nine Onion Rings of Hell</span>. It plays on the Dr. Strange/Wong paradigm, with the servant using magic to teach a demanding sorcerer a lesson by putting a hex on his lunch. Here&#8217;s some images from my story, and you can see some more samples from the book <a href="http://http://www.bostoncomicsroundtable.com/inbound-5/">here</a>.</p>
<p>Make sure you pick up a copy wherever you can and let me know if you end up cooking my spicy onion-ring recipe.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So MICE (the Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo) is one of my new favorite shows to table at. I&#8217;ll always love SPX for the cartoonist crowd and seeing people I otherwise never see, but MICE has stolen the show for attendees. I&#8217;ve never seen such constant crowds of people so thoroughly interested in all the random comics at the show. I only started going to SPX a couple years ago, but I image this is what it was like in it&#8217;s early days. Lots of enthusiastic fans, lots of talented creators, lots of awkward conversations, but an excellent time overall. Thanks to MICE I&#8217;m almost completely sold out of my mini <span style="color: #ffffff;">A Profound State of Unconsciousness</span>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.helmsmanpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/apsou_pics.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-36" title="apsou_pics" src="http://www.helmsmanpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/apsou_pics-225x300.jpg" alt="9 copies left of A Profound State of Unconsciousness" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been busy with some art projects and inventing but I&#8217;ve got a couple ideas for some minis I&#8217;d like to get done over the next year. Here&#8217;s some pics of the studio I&#8217;ll be making them in.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-29" title="studio_01" src="http://www.helmsmanpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/studio_01.jpg" alt="old drafting table from the 'coffin factory' and a baker's table" width="500" height="375" /></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The site has been redesigned thanks to some Albanian hackers effectively deleting the old site off my server. Thanks guys!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m working to get all the content back up on the site but in the meantime you can check out the <a href="http://www.bostoncomicsroundtable.com">Boston Comics Roundtable</a> and the <a href="http://www.outboundmagazine.blogspot.com">Outbound</a> blog. Outbound #2 is out soon and &#8216;Flek&#8217; continues with it&#8217;s second installment. I&#8217;m working on part three now and the style is changing a bit. I&#8217;ll post some sketches after I get the site back to 100%.</p>
<p>And the BCR just announced the theme for Inbound #5&#8230;FOOD&#8230;so I&#8217;m working on my story for that as well. I&#8217;m going to work an actual recipe into my story so you&#8217;ll be able to cook straight from the anthology. I&#8217;m starting the rumor that Inbound #5 is going to be printed on scratch and sniff paper. Pass it on.</p>
