What an unbelievably weird month.

Being in an online competition where your target market is operating in a different time zone is just odd. It's santa-esque dropping off little digital packages of brilliant Sliney art set to my words to "friends" in the middle of their night.
But, yeah, we lost - but so did nine other strips, and before that so did a whole bunch of people so I don't feel too bad about it. - In fact it was pretty cool just to have made it to the final and to come in within the top five was nice too.
We both got some great feedback and made some brilliant connections. For the most part the criticism we received was mostly constructive, mostly.
There was of course a certain amount of negativity vibed our way but that's always to be expected - which is a shame but that's all.
If you'd told me five weeks ago that I'd be doing 15 minutes on the Gerry Ryan Show discussing Zombies, SuperPowers and the future of Marvel comics I'd probably have agreed with you - but secretly I'd know it wouldn't be a runner, but what-do-you-know I did, scroll down here http://www.rte.ie/old2fm/podcast/podcast_gerryryan.xml and you'll find me and my face for radio.
Anyway what a great experience - if you're sequentially inclined I'd urge you to take a shot at Zuda.

Huge thanks to Will Sliney - quite obviously couldn't have done it without you.
