			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.inkwellawards.com">Inkwell Awards</a> welcome artists Mike McKone (Avengers Academy, Teen Titans), Sal Velluto (The Phantom, Black Panther), and Trevor Von Eeden (The Original Johnson, Black Lightning) as new ambassadors for the Inkwell Awards, a non-profit organization.</p>
<p>Their job is to basically help support and promote the <a href="http://www.inkwellawards.com">Inkwell Awards</a>&#8216; mission which is to promote and educate about the craft of comic book inking and to annually recognize and award the ink artists and their work.</p>
<p>They join previous ambassadors editor Mike Marts and artists Adam Hughes, Ethan Van Sciver, and Mark Brooks.</p>
<p>IA founder Bob Almond said &#8220;Having these respected creative forces on the front lines is a huge deal for us as their names augment us in the areas of credibility, exposure, and fundraising. While all are notable pencillers, they recognize and appreciate the importance of quality comic book inking and they themselves have inked much of their own work.&#8221;</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.inkwellawards.com">Inkwell Awards</a>, now in their third year, the organization is overseen by a number of industry professionals such as founder and director Bob Almond, Daniel Best, Jimmy Tournas, Bob Shaw, and Nathan Massengill who make up the IA core committee.</p>
<p>They also sponsor the Dave Simons Inkwell Memorial Scholarship Fund for the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art and host the Joe Sinnott Hall of Fame Award.</p>
<p>2010 Voting will take place at the website on August 15-September 15 and their first live awards ceremony will be sponsored by Wizard Entertainment and take place at <a href="http://www.wizardworld.com/home-newengland.html">Wizardworld: New England (Boston)</a> at the Hynes Convention Center on the weekend of October 15-17.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gerry Alanguilan talks about the state of comics preservation in the Philippines over at The Comics Journal.</p>
<p>“Up until 2004, a tradition of preserving, archiving and collecting classic Philippine comics never existed. The few Filipinos of the current generation who were aware of the old classic comics from the 1940s to the 1970s can only look upon in envy at the hundreds upon hundreds of trade paperbacks, hardbacks, Absolute editions, and Omnibus collections coming out of America that effectively gave the world an easily accessible archive to decades of American comic books.”</p>
<p>Alanguilan laments the fact that the “Philippines never had that kind of tradition, in spite of the fact that this country has one of the oldest comic book industries in the world.”</p>

<p>“Gerry Alanguilan, rock-star comic book illustrator and viral web video sensation (thanks to his astounding “Hey Babe” performance), sent me a copy of his comic book Where Bold Stars Go To Die. Thanks, man! And it’s sooo awesome because, for one, it’s FREE; and two, it throws me back to the 1980s and the decade’s sex fantasies (and happy memories of painstakingly smuggling rolled-and-folded-up adult Pinoy komiks hidden in my underwear into the bathroom, and staying there for hours on the pretext of “loaf-sized turd just won’t come out, mommy!”), accomplished in decent, nice artsy comic book form.”</p>
<p>Mike Chanco even had a nod’s off to Arlan who is the co-creator of Where Bold Stars go to Die.</p>
<p>“A sad note, though: Arlan Esmena, illustrator of the comic book, has already passed on. Give that a few seconds of thought.”</p>
<p>Go check out the whole article <a href="http://fleshasiadaily.com/2010/08/02/where-bold-stars-go-to-die/comment-page-1/">here</a>.</p>

<p>“A longtime Alaska comic book buff is selling one of the gems in his vast collection, a rare copy of Batman No. 1 published 70 years ago. Mike Wheat of Fairbanks has put the 1940 comic book on the auction block through Dallas-based Heritage Auction Galleries, where it&#8217;s expected to fetch more than $40,000.</p>
<p>Online bids will compete with a live auction set for Thursday.”</p>
<p>For those of you who are planning on getting on the action better have some serious money for the auction because online bids have already reached US$35,000.00 for the book and will probably go higher.</p>
<p>It is believed to be one of fewer than 300 still in existence with a grade of 5.5 from a scale of 1 to 10.</p>
<p>Click <a href="http://www.artdaily.com/index.asp?int_sec=2&amp;int_new=39672">here</a> for more details.</p>

<p>Matt Broome describes it as a &#8220;virtual studio&#8221; run by independent creators but also is a social networking portfolio site.</p>
<p>“It&#8217;s really where ideas go at conception and fans can interact with it when it&#8217;s born. Before it&#8217;s a movie, before it&#8217;s a comic, before it&#8217;s anything, it&#8217;s on CreatorSafe. What&#8217;s different about CreatorSafe is it lets you put stuff up in a safe environment and lock it away where only a certain audience can see it until you&#8217;re ready to deploy that to the rest of the world or sell it to a publisher. It&#8217;s built from my network for people I know.”</p>
<p>Broome&#8217;s &#8220;Defcon 2055&#8243; is currently housed on CreatorSafe.com</p>
