hmmmmm I did a comic called Style for some website that i can’t remember the name of back in maybe 1999-2000. It only lasted for a few weeks and was really bad. I was pretty young. It was about 3 high school girls. The main character was Lauren Wood and the other two girls were Lisa Miller and Kim Pine. The title “Style” was just meaningless — I was really into this Orbital song called Style, and I liked the word. The comic wasn’t about fashion, it wasn’t really about anything. I was trying to be just like Paul Pope and my art was very derivative of his work at the time. A few years later I resurrected the title and characters for 3 really goofy comedy strips on the Oni Press website. I think it was one per month, and those months were November 2002, December 2002 and January 2003. I did these strips just before starting work on Lost at Sea, but they are more of a precursor to Scott Pilgrim (which I had already been doing notes and sketches for since around March 2002). Obviously, Kim Pine would be a major Scott Pilgrim character; the high school backdrop became the basis for Scott’s high school memories; and Lisa Miller is involved in the Scott Pilgrim books too. (Lauren became just a cameo in SP.) In these strips the characters don’t really have much of a personality. Since I only did three, I didn’t develop it very much beyond silly jokes. The third strip was done when I was sick with a cold, so it kinda sucks, but whatever. There you have it!

thisnovemberist: Chris Evans, Jason Schwartzman, Kieran Culkin, Ellen Wong, Anna Kendrick, Michael Cera, director Edgar Wright, Aubrey Plaza, Alison Pill, Bryan Lee O’Malley & Brandon Routh at the Premiere of ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. the World’ I don’t think I’ve ever even seen this photo. This is the London premiere. And it’s mislabeled… they forgot Satya, and Mary (tall and hidden behind Edgar, she was wearing colossal heels), and Brie Larson (beside me), and Michael Bacall (at far right). And they listed Aubrey Plaza, but she isn’t in it. After this premiere we all went to Chris Evans’s apartment (he was shooting Captain America in London at the time) and stayed up until 5 am giggling like schoolgirls. Kinda the end of an era. I think the date was August 18, 2010.

aqlex ASKED:

Hey! Just wondering if we could get some kind of status update on Seconds? It's still all on track to come out this year, right =)?

Welllll…….

I hurt my shoulder last summer and couldn’t work for a few months and unfortunately the book had to be delayed because of it.

I’m back to work on it now, but it won’t be out until………

………….2014……………

……Sorry………………………

*dies*

I was about halfway through writing/penciling the book when I had to stop, and it was really daunting to get back to work on it. That’s why I’ve been doing side projects recently like the Young Avengers cover and Battle Royale poster… it’s been helpful to work on smaller projects as I warm up from my time off.

Anyway, I hate talking about this behind the scenes stuff and I’m not here to complain about my cushy life but I’m going to have to explain this delay eventually and this is why: because of my health. I had to take a frustratingly long break in order to repair my body, and during that time off I’ve been working hard on fitness and stuff so this doesn’t happen again.

When I found out the book would have to be delayed into 2014 it was maybe the saddest day of my life…

I will continue to do more status updates on Seconds throughout 2013 as I get anywhere near finishing it. (You may have noticed I haven’t talked about it much since last summer; this is why…)

Sorry to all my fans.

hannakdraws: Yeah. This is a bunch of Ramonas for some kind of Scott Pilgrim contest I guess. I wanted to colour them traditionally - but there was no time to, like, mess it up. So here are my lame ps-skills   ~*~*GRAND PRIZE WINNER*~*~ Here’s the GRAND PRIZE WINNER! At first I felt like it was almost unfair for these to win! Look at how great these all are… I have never heard of Hanna K from Sweden before but now I want to see everything she ever does. She did six Ramonas (plus a few more after!) and not only are they all cute and unique, they all look like something Ramona would have worn in the book (but didn’t). The colors are bright and poppy and fun and every outfit is delightful. Congrats Hanna K!!! Please send me an email so I can send your prize! (bryan@radiomaru.com) That wraps up the contest!!! I’M SO GRATEFUL TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED AND I’M REALLY SORRY IF I COULDN’T GIVE YOU A PRIZE OR HIGHLIGHT YOUR ENTRY HERE — I LOVE EVERYONE :0 :0 :0 :0 :0 :0 :0
