So I forget how this happened exactly, but one day on myspace, Drew, the artist/co-creator of Sullengrey, contacts me and compliments me on my artwork. I'd been a fan of his art work as well the day I first saw Sullengrey in the comic book store. I had only read 1 issue at the time I started talking with him, and eventually he wanted me to do a pin-up for him. So as an exchange he gave me the first 4 issues of Sullengrey for a pin-up. I read the 4 issues before I dove into a pin-up (makes sense right?) and fell in love with Sullengrey. What a neat series this is. It's very much a Gothic comic with true horror elements and a spooky back story that slows reveals itself to the reader over time. It's got lots of lovely little refferences here and there from "The Smiths,""Bauhaus," to "The Dresden Dolls." (I'm not much of a fan of The Dresden Dolls.. but I got the refference.) It's fun, it's dark and gritty, and Drew's illustrations are hot as hell.

I recommend picking up Sullengrey. You'll love it if you liked Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, Gloom Cookie, Nightmares and Fairytales, Ben Templesmith's art work (i don't know how Ben's books read... yet), and other comics of that type.

I'll let you guys know if this picture surfaces into one of Drew's books in the future.
