WHAT'S ON MY BRAIN 6-27-04 Alright--what happened to JUNE?! I'm loving this summer thing--even though I live in LA, where it is summer allot longer than the rest of the country, but where the hell went June? I feel like two days ago I wrote saying, "Woo Hoo! It's the first day of summer!" and now June is gone! Not to be a bummer, but shit man, but "Jane--slow this crazy ride down!" I want it to last…we haven't even had time to throw a decent party here, so now I gotta show you photos from one of last years bashes! Regardless, I hope it will get you in the mood, to make the most of July! And for those of you who haven't seen Michael Moore's new movie, the 4th of July weekend is perfect. I saw it with some friends last Saturday--I'm not gonna tell you what I think, you watch it for yourself and make up your own mind. Is George Bush the idiot we want back in next year, or is John Kerry a bigger idiot we should worry about? It's going to be a tough year to drag our selves to the voting booth in November… Anyhoo, back to the party pic's. The first one is of me and my date for the day, our dog "Baby." I may be a drunk idiot from time to time, but she's the only one that thinks it's funny!
What else could be said about Simon Bisley that hasn't already been said on the Heavy Metal site? Lots I bet, but here's a good shot of my "Mate" catching some of the California sunshine--before he goes completely nuts!
Aww--how cute! Here's a great shot of Julie's little sister "Lizzy Strain!" She's acting up a storm out here these days, waiting for that big break! We think she'll get it, and if you have interest in seeing more of her, she's got her own section in Julie's new book "Nightmare on Pin up Street!" (Available the end of July!)
Ahhh--Simon decides to take a smoke break, while Baby looks on wishing she could steal his wallet and the key's to my car to get the hell out of there and have some fun! Actually, I think she's just wondering if what he's putting in his mouth is something she could eat.
Group sex? Sorry--just Julie, Simon, and our friend Meline hamming it up for the camera. Something very rare around this house--but we do what we can! I must admit though, Simon looks a bit to "happy" for a goofy photo--is Mel's hand somewhere it should be? Curious minds want to know…
The last photo of the week is a great one, where Lorenzo pretends he wants a photo with me, but uses the chance to put an extra squeeze on one of Julie's favorite models "Susan" in the process! I can't blame him, she has much nicer looking breasts than I do…
Beyond looking back at 2003 party, and planning for a new one to post for ya, we've also been gearing up for this years San Diego Comic Con! Bisley, Royo, Horley, Giovanni, Sperlonga, and yours truly will be trying to not act hung over for the 22nd to the 25th of July, so come by and see us at one of the greatest comic shows on the planet in three weeks! Speaking of which, I should dust off the booth, and make sure it will still stand this time out. There's lots of the regular weekly updates to the site, all worth seeing, but I do want to mention this will the last week I update my "TMNT" section--it was fun, although it never completely fit with the Heavy Metal universe--except the fact that buying Heavy Metal magazine in the 70's led me to self publishers, and to self publishing the green guys in the first place--but regardless, I'm going to replace it with a Heavy Metal Events section, that will show, well, Heavy Metal events from years past to the present. Should be fun. I'll have some more summer special offers for you next week, but this time out I want to turn your attention to the original art section where I added 10 pages of Rick Veitch written and pencilled, Kevin Eastman inked pages from the original Miage Publishing series "North by Down East!" This two issue series featured John Totleben covers, and has never been reprinted or collected. These are exclusive to the site, and at $60 a pop, perfect to add to your original art collection! CLICK HERE! That's it for me this week, more next, if I can find my computer! Best, Kevin
