Moving at a speed of 100 inventions per year
Madman or genius? Well... madman. But being confined to an asylum (with one of his symptoms described as "manic invention") didn't keep Karl Hans Janke from developing elaborate theories of atomic energy, flight, space travel and the history of humanity, creating over 4,000 complex drawings and even models over 40 years of incarceration for paranoid schizophrenia.

Any more free music and I'll have to grow more ears.
Music is good. Free is good. So free music must be double good. With over 1000 albums listed from netlabels and other sources, Free Albums Galore (mentioned a while ago) is a well-curated collection of links to some of the best free full-length releases on the 'net. Of course, there are a lot more netlabel resources out there.

Low-cost marketing ideas for an off-beat graphic novel
What will give me the best bang for my buck to advertise a graphic novel that's horror-genre-based, but totally violates genre conventions?
Dead Eyes Open, a series I wrote for SLG and that...
Zombie comic out in TPB - Free PDF of chapters 1 & 2 Dead Eyes Open, a series I wrote for SLG and that a Hollywood screenwriter would pitch as "the West Wing meets Dawn of the Dead", came out in trade paperback this week. That's an Amazon link, as it's not in the SLG store yet, but I also encourage you to patronize your friendly local comics shop.
I've put both Chapter One (4.7 MB) and Chapter Two (4.6 MB) -- the first third of the book -- online as free PDFs.
In retrospect, this was a 12-issue story that I (over)ambitiously tried to cram into 6 issues, because 6 issues was all I had. The Publisher's Weekly description of the pacing as "frenzied" is accurate, if a bit harsh.
Blow for blow, though, I still think it's the most ambitious zombie book, in terms of really taking the genre in new directions and trying new things, that's ever been released. Please do check it out.
