Artist found!

It's been a while since I mentioned the good news in the previous post, and I spent a week in Michigan and Chicago since then. But all is confirmed now, the contract is signed - Toffsbury has an artist!

Renzo Podesta has done some great work in comics already, and has a style that I can see matching Toffsbury really well. Click through the first issue of Hard Drive... it's beautiful stuff. Come back for some sample art before too long.

Meanwhile, Bryan is generously working on a bit of mockup art for use in the upcoming launch of the fundraising site. Soon you'll be able to make a contribution to putting Toffsbury, Destructo, and the rest of 'em onto paper, and get some nice benefits in return. More on this when the site is launched.

It's a bit stressful but very exciting to be embarking on this right at the beginning of my final year of Master's work while heading up an important initiative at work, but it's busy people who get things done, right? I can't wait.
