The world is stupid: throw rocks at it!

 

Such is life.

A revised page for the French edition

Artists are rarely happy with their work in hindsight, and I am no exception. There were a few pages in Nil: A Land Beyond Belief I was decidedly unhappy with. Much more so than the rest. Given that the whole book was experimental, this is hardly surprising.

With the french edition, however, I had the chance to fix some things and cull some dialogue to tighten things up.

I don't think the english edition will ever see an update, so... behold! The (relatively) new improved french version:

ta-ra!

Cover of the French edition

From Presque Lune. The printing job was absolutely fantastic. The printer hated me for all the fine silver lines, but my God did he do a fantastic job. 

Abandoned cover of the self-published version

 Before I heard back from SLG, I thought I'd have to self-publish Nil, and I did up a few different versions of what it might be. I hadn't settled on the title yet, and you can see here I was considering 'Nihil Obstat'. That was later abandoned.

 

Poster for the short film No Blood for Coffee

 

The film ran a sprawling 3 minutes, and was animated by the superb Andrew Foerster and scored by Devin Polaski. It did rather well on the short film festival circuit.
