Issue 3 well under way.

After a couple of lazy days over christmas it has been time to get stuck back into work on issue 3. Pretty productive day whilst watching the 3rd day of the ashes on tv :)

Issue #2 - January!

Hopefully the news you've all been waiting for. Issue 2 will be available to order in January. Will Also be contacting stores to hopefully get the book onto the shelf as well. The suupport and response to Issue 1 has been fantastic! Here's to 2014 being just as great!

Merry Xmas!

Well it's that time of year again! Its been a great year with plenty of ups and downs and really feels like somewhat of a blur. I can't believe its almost over already! Thanks to everybody that has supported the book - you folks are awesome! I hope you all had great 2013's and I wish you all a very merry xmas, happy new year and a a fun and prosperous 2014!

Uplifting

Was one of those days, so thought I'd try something a bit 'uplifting' and unusual by normal From Above standards :)

Some concept art for a chase scene...

Issue 2 arrives

The first 200 printed copies of Issue 2 have arrived in preparation for January shipping. Stoked to get the books done so quickly after completing the first book. This reinforces my confidence in adhering to the Quarterly release schedule I've set for the book.

Review: NanCanonical Comics Podcast - Episode 191

REVIEW: Was stoked today to have Issue #1 reviewed by the guys at NonCanonical Comic Podcast. They do a great review of the book on episode 191. Personally I'd listen to the whole podcast as the guys are quite entertaining but for those impatient folks wjo want to fast track to the review it kicks in around the 25:50 mark. Big thanks to the guys for their review.

From Above Pin Up by Brad Virgo

Working for a toy company I have the opportunity to work alongside some amazingly talented people. I have had the pleasure of working with the crazy talented Brad Virgo for the last 8 years. The guy is an amazing talent and has generously illustrated up a pin up of Kira that will be featured in Issue 2. You rock B-rad!
