Twittered by Patton (Updated with viral goodness)

OK, it’s hot as hell today, but this really made up for it; Patton Oswalt TwitPic’d my image for this week’s REMAKE/REMODEL challenge on Warren Ellis’ WHITECHAPEL forums.
Proving once again that geeks will magnetically find other geeks in this universe. Awesome.

OK, this has gone viral, and NOW it’s causing people to freak out at the official Facebook WIRE page. Which is awesome!

Oh yes, because of this, I actually got my butt around and actually HAVE a Twitter account now: @SizerPaul

Welcome to the NEW paulsizer.com!

It’s 2011; decided it was time to re-vamp the main website, strip things down and make it more clean and visual.
Still tweaking a few things, but in all I think this will be a better way to see the work I’m doing, and to keep things up to date. I’m also going to try comments again, to make things more interactive with site visitors, until the spambots show up and destroy my fragile online world.

All the design here: me.
All the coding/HTML/magic WordPress fixes courtesy of my smart and lovely wife Jane, who busted her back to make everything work and behave as I wanted it to. Thanks!
Please enjoy the NEW paulsizer.com responsibly!

Thomas Dolby’s hilarious video for the song “The Toadlickers” from his AMERIKANA EP has been nominated for a Webby Award, and can be voted on by the general public. And it’s doing amazingly well in the polls! I designed this card to help promote the nomination and inspire people to vote for the video.

You can check out the voting and the video at the WEBBY AWARDS site. Voting closes on April 28th.

3 PANELS for Warren Ellis

Warren Ellis has been asking various artists to contribute 3 panels of work to his blog. The three panels can be any style, any subject matter, and any purpose. Well, guess who got asked to contribute…
I decided to do something that showed off what I seem to have proficiency in; graphic design and 3 point perspective. Here’s the results:

You can check Warren’s original posting here. Lots of really good feedback from all points. Solid enough idea for a new book? Something to consider…

REMAKE: Fantastic Four #1


Another REMAKE/REMODEL challenge from the Warren Ellis forums, this time a re-design of the cover to Fantastic Four #1 as if knowing very little about the actual comic. Decided to go for the retro 60′s vibe on this one.

“Oceanea” EP Released Today

Thomas Dolby’s “Oceanea” EP is released to the general public today, with my design for the entire package. This EP is getting both a digital download release (via iTunes and Amazon.com) and a physical release as well (via CD Baby).

Very exciting for me to see this in 3 dimensions!
