Shannon Gallant's website is http://www.slgallant.com/ Just for your information. We'll get back to Shannon and ask how he broke into first British, and then American comics for the new year.

Matt Wuerker's appearance at Newseum last weekend

Matt Wuerker spoke at the Newseum last weekend, and the talk was recorded and should be online eventually. In the meantime, Bruce Guthrie has put his photographs online.

This image is me on the left, and IDW's GI Joe artist Shannon Gallant on the right. I had just met Shannon, but I think we'll be doing an interview here with him after the holidays.

SL (Shannon) Gallant, comic book artist, now in DC

SL (Shannon) Gallant has written in to introduce himself, and look for fellow artists. I've got to say that I've never bought GI Joe in my life (although I liked the small comics they used to package in their toy sets in the 1960s), but now I'll be picking it up

I'm a comic artist-illustrator living in DC and currently working for IDW on G.I. Joe. I've also worked for DC, Dark Horse, Marvel, and Titan UK in the past on titles ranging from Marvel Adventures:The Avengers and Torchwood to more cartoon oriented work such as Shrek and Monsters vs Aliens.

The last few months I've been making the effort to create connections with other artists in the area, through DC Conspiracy and other groups. I was hoping you might know similar professionals in the region I should try to get in touch with who are less likely to participate in such outings?

So if you're a comic book professional in the area, feel free to post below. Send me news of your current and upcoming projects and I'll promote them as well. I know my co-author Randy's compiled a list of local people at one point - does he still have that?
