WonderCon memories

Posted by jasonmcnamara on February 25, 2008

Much thanks to all the WonderCon attendees that made it so much fun to appear. I handed out postcards and talked up a Martian Confederacy storm. Our preview pages were worn out by the Sunday afternoon. JK Parkin from Newsarama stopped and we had a fun discussion about…well just about everything. He was also nice enough to plug Martian Confederacy on the Newsarama blog. Check it out.

Lou crash lands on the Martian surface

Posted by paige on February 20, 2008

I mentioned in my previous post about The Martian Confederacy that there was a third member of the “confederacy.” Well, she’s Lou… the hot, sassy, tri-sexual android who will be gracing the cover.

The Martian Confederacy

Posted by paige on February 20, 2008

Toxic air. Bloodthirsty politicians. Drinking bears. Welcome to Mars in the year 3535. Stripped of its natural resources and forgotten as a vacation destination, Martians struggle to afford breathable air. Boone, Spinner and Lou were three outlaws looking out for themselves. But when a cure for Mars’s toxic air falls into the wrong hands, thieves are forced to become heroes. And as an entire planet gasps for air three rednecks will fight for the survival of their planet.

Boone and Spinner (art of Lou to follow… you’re gonna love her.)

Yeah, babeee… My pal Jason McNamara and I are co-creating a book due to release in Diamond’s July Previews. Jason has written a hilarious script, which I’m illustrating.

Stay tuned for more art and story details… rednecks on the red planet… here they come.
