Happy Birthday!!!!

Well everyone, that time has come. After one amazing year, we are now in the midst of making a major push to ready ourselves for our presence at Comic-Con 2008. And as you might expect, along with all the excitement, we also have a lot to prepare. So we need a little time away from the site, but you don’t think we’d leave you empty handed, do you?

Never! In fact, we are having our first contest give-away to celebrate our ONE YEAR anniversary. That’s right, CreatureBox has been through birth, growth, and now seems to be sitting up all on its own. But none of this could be possible without all the great feedback, comments and introductions we’ve been lucky enough to have from all of you! So we present you with a single question.

“What existing character in all the world would you all like to see most reinvisioned by CreatureBox?”

So leave a comment. We want to know, and whoever we think has hit it square on the nail, well, that’s where we pay it forward, or back, you know what we mean.

When we come back one month from today, we will be announcing the winner of the contest who will be receiving not one, but two prints from the ‘Box. From Dave’s collection, a dynamic interpretation of “Mr. Incredible”, and from Greg’s collection, the wacky apes of “Silverback Death Squad”.

So Happy Birthday CreatureBox! And here’s to our next year of craziness.

PATH!!!

About 4 years ago, I embarked on what I now know was an arduous task. PATH is an 80 page graphic novel I wrote and illustrated and is published by ComX. Its kinda goofy, but I hope you’ll all go and get a copy. If you’re store doesn’t have it, the order code is JAN083499 at Diamond Comics.

You want more! Dave did a pinup in the back as well as some other amazing artists.

I really hope you all enjoy it. It was a bull, but I’m really excited to see what everyone thinks. Also, here’s an article on ComX at Newsarama with more details!

PATH in Diamond…

Well, after a long and arduous journey, PATH is finally in previews at Diamond Comics. It’s an 80 page graphic novel about a rabbit and an elephant. I know, but that’s how I role. So, for the love of rabbits, get down to your local shops and beg them to put one or eight on the shelf for me. It’s also on pages 195 and 254 in the hardcopy of the January’s comic book previews. Dave has a pinup in it too!

The Holidays!

Believe it or not, the Holidays are upon us. Chilly weather has struck (even in California), houses have been adorned in blinking lights, and an endless array of Kay Jewelers ads have hit the air. It’s always a crazy time of year as the country bustles from here to there manically preparing for trips home to see family and friends – all while patiently waiting for Santa.

We’ve thought a lot about what to give our families. After tossing “vacation home in New Hampshire” and a “trip around the world with Jay – Z” we figured the best gift we could muster was simply spending more time with them. We’ve had an absolute blast over the last 7 months building this little box and we have some fun plans for the future. But in order to do this right, we’ve decided to take a small break from the site for the month of December. It’s our small way of saying thanks to our loving wives and children who have watched us toil away at the Cintiq for quite awhile.

But make no mistake, come January 1st we’ll be back in full force with new posts and features. Make sure you don’t have too much of a hangover because we’ll want to see you bright and early. As a preview of what’s to come, we’ve placed a couple videos below giving a peek at our process – it is the season of giving!

We sincerely would like to thank all of you who have come to view our ramblings. As always, we truly look forward to the future. Keep it safe everyone. We’ll see you soon.
