(Yes, the T in the Park stuff’s coming…)
Opened up LinkedIn today to get a nice little surprise in the form of a recommendation from well-known (in the US anyway) writer and publisher Larry Young. Larry and I first met through Warren Ellis and kept in touch - sometimes a lot, sometimes a little, rarely enough - and have chewed the fat over doing some projects together, and it nearly came off once (saying nothing else as it’s still a slowly evolving project for elsewhere).

Anyway, there was a recommendation there for me, that not only made me laugh, but I may just have to find a permanent home for on the front page of here:

“Craig’s command of language allows him to make words dance like teenagers ’round the campfire, enjoying cheap beer and each others’ company on the last day of summer before school starts.”

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to round up those teenagers…

Comicbook writers and artists must be the meme of the day or something as they seem to be popping up everywhere.
Anyway, the rather talented Warren Ellis has asked if bloggers can remind the world about his strip Freakangels that can be found at www.freakangels.com or RSS at http://seed.sproutbuilder.com/LACofd2ABL8Bmckn

Warren’s a good bloke. Anyone wanting to see decent journalism should pick up his Transmetropolitan series. Some great writing in there.
