The latest edition of the Steve Ogden Braincast is up online – the first BrainCast of 2010. Moon Town book number one is for sale! In this episode, I talk about where you can get it, what I learned while creating the cover, and what it has to do with Van Halen and Mozart. I also talk about Duncan Jones’ Moon and James Cameron’s Avatar. Music by Tim Larkin.

Here are a few of the Artist Editions of the Moon Town book under construction. Yes, people can choose to get an original Moon Town inking, signed by me, with their book. What’s that you say? Feeling left out? No need – you can get your own copy of the book with or without the inking at the WishTales store!
The ones you’re seeing here are for (left to right) COS, Martin Goddard, Matt Forcum, and Scott Davis.
K. Back to it.
Let there be clanging of bells and hollering of loud phrases – the Moon Town books have arrived, and they look great! I’ve posted more info about the book book HERE, and I’ve posted a low-resolution PDF so you can see how the book flows in its printed format.
For those of you who don’t want to wait for the info and the sample, the book is currently available through the WishTales store, which is slowly populating. Enjoy!
Sorry, folks… I’m a tad buried this week. Moon Town will be missing in action for a few days. Be back soon.
We regret the inconvenience.

UPDATE: 3/25: Still buried. Moon Town will return as soon as I can get back to it.
It has become common among sci-fi fans to express disappointment that the shiny future we were promised once upon a childhood – flying cars, jetpacks, videophones, robot assistants – hasn’t completely come to pass.
Not sure about the flying cars or robot assistants, although I’m sure they’re not far off at this point. As for the videophones, they exist, though maybe not exactly in the form you’d expect. Video conferencing and Skype seem to be filling that role at the moment, but can actual video-transmitting phones be far behind?
But as far as the jetpack goes, we can officially stop whining: for a mere $86,000, you can soon purchase your very own Martin jet pack. Let the people say Amen.
Another day, another review of Moon Town. This one’s at Coyote Trax’s webcomic critique, and is not quite as stellar as the others the strip has received to this point. Not sure about the pedigree of the reviewer, or what he looks for in webcomics, but he takes issue with several features of Moon Town. Makes for interesting reading.
There’s a very positive review of Moon Town at Tall Tale Features. If you’re not familiar with TTF, it’s a collective of extremely talented big time cartoonists. Their positive take on my little comic is very humbling! Thanks, guys!
I am very excited to inform you that ex-Disney animator Eddie Pittman is joining our little team over at WishTales! Eddie’s graphic novel Red’s Planet, full of gorgeous art, fantastic storytelling and a color sense that just won’t quit, is the perfect addition to our stable of books.
