Below you will find the first ever the Process poll! I’ve been thinking that I would hold a draw for email subscribers and I wanted to find out what people would like the most as a prize. The following poll has six options for prizes. ANYONE CAN VOTE! Choose the prize(s) you would most like to see offered and click ‘vote’. Please participate, people! This will help me out in two ways. It will tell me what you, the reader, values most and it helps me prepare a drawing that offers the most wanted prize! This poll will be up until I feel I have a healthy number of votes from which I can truly draw a consensus. So c’mon people now, smile on your brother (me), everybody get together, try to love one another, VOTE NOW!
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

UPDATE: The final hours! Only a few short hours remain before we’ll have our prize decided. It looks like the original art has a commanding lead but anything’s possible on this here internets. Stay tuned for the official announcement.

This week, the much anticipated anthology of fantasy comics, Fablewood, hits store shelves! The book is edited by William Ward and features work by luminaries, Ryan Ottley, JP Ahonen, Daniel Lafrance and many, many more. In it you’ll also find my out of print minicomic, Mandala! The reviews are already hitting the web and the word is that Fablewood is not to be missed. Ambush Bug at Ain’t it Cool News had this to say about the book:

FABLEWOOD is a feast for the eyes, the heart, and the mind. This fantasy anthology is done by a handful of talented artists and writers, all fully capable of telling the type of story that stretches the imagination. I found this book to be a real showcase of talent. I’ll go over the entire book briefly, but my observations don’t do this book justice

In his review of Mandala, Ambush Bug wrote this:

Due to the stylized font, I may misspell the writer/artist behind the wonderful reading experiment that is ‘Mandala’, but Joe Thfurhart’s story is one of the book’s highlights both in its mandala-shaped storytelling style and the cool mix of cavemen and giant robots.

Don’t sweat it! The name mistake is a common one. It’s the handle that I use on the Erotic Nights of the Norse Gods Bulletin Boards most weekends. Regardless, the compliments are greatly appreciated. Congratulations are in order for all involved and many thanks to editor, William Ward, for assembling such a talented roster of writers and artists.

Now what are you all waiting for!? Go out there and get yourself a copy! I promise you won’t be disappointed.

My recent Threadless Tee design seems to have made an impression! Greg over at Fantastic Blognanza (a blog devoted to indie tees) is a fan of the design and lent a helping hand to my cause by posting a notice. Only after I saw this post did I find out that the design was on both Greg’s and John’s Top Ten Designs of 2007! Wow!
If you haven’t already, please click the “I’d buy it” button and give it a high score. If I’m fortunate enough to get it printed, I’ll be sure to give a few away here to some of the many who have responded to the call. Here’s the original plea for help. Here’s the design on radiant fuschia:

In my quest for cash, I submitted a t-shirt design to Threadless.com in the hopes that it might get printed. Here’s your chance to help make that happen! Please give this design a high score! If I get enough high scores the shirt will be printed and sold from the site and I will win some prizes. Take a look at it and if you like it, sign up and give it a high score. With your help, I might be able to pay off some debts! Thanks in advance for your support, folks. If it gets printed, I’ll buy up a bunch and give ‘em away to visitors for nuthin’! That’s how desparate I am! Click the image or sidebar thingamajig to vote!

This Wednesday, Wasteland #14 will be on sale at your local comic book shop! This book is a stand-alone story illustrated by me. If you’ve ever been curious about the world created by Antony Johnston and Christopher Mitten, here’s a great opportunity to get a taste. Here’s the synopsis for this issue:

When a mysterious stranger arrived in Providence it changed the lives of Doc, Abi, and the rest of the town forever… But that wasn’t Michael’s first visit! Series writer Antony Johnston and Special Guest artist Joe Infurnari (BORROWED TIME) spin a tale from the ruin runner’s past that holds hints of his future!  

I had a blast doing this and I hope you pick yourself up a copy and enjoy a good read!
