POSEIDON: EARTH SHAKER on the NYTimes Bestseller List!!

A huge, heartfelt "THANK YOU!!!!" to everyone who helped put it there. Meanwhile, eternal middle child Poseidon celebrates a victory that little bro Zeus's book never quite managed.

Poseidon Interview at Wired.com

Well, it's not the actual god of the sea that they interview, but rather me, talking about my latest book. I had a really great in-depth conversation about Olympians in general and Poseidon in particular with Melissa 'Geekmom' Wiley over at the incredible Wired.com. If you're interested in giving it a read, as well as seeing a photo of my Masters of the Universe collection, click here.

This is just a screenshot-- see me talk and draw at the link below 

I sat down recently with the good folks from MTV Geek for a video interview where I talked about how to draw Poseidon, the Olympians series, and my very own special feud with the God of the Sea. You can see it all here.

RELEASE THE KRAKEN!! Poseidon: Earth-Shaker comes out today!

I know, I know, the Kraken isn't really from Greek mythology (in fact, if you've ver seen me in person,  I devote a chunk of my presentation to how bogus the Kraken is) but it does make for a good headline.

OLYMPIANS BOOK 5-- POSEIDON: EARTH SHAKER COMES OUT TODAY!!! GO! GO!! GET A COPY!!!

Please get a copy, that is. I'm very excited :)

Appearance! Tomorrow! Brooklyn Public Library! The big one!

As part of their "Teen Week" celebration, I'll be appearing tomorrow,  Thursday, October 20th at the Brooklyn Central Library located at Grand Army Plaza between Flatbush Avenue and Eastern Parkway. My program will start at 10:00 am in the Dweck Center auditorium, which I honestly don't much about , but I will remark is a cool-sounding name. I'll be giving a slideshow, talking about Olympians, and sharing some sneak peeks of Hades: Lord of the Dead and Poseidon: The Yet to Be Subtitled. Hope to see you there!

Where all the magic happens

I'm trying something a little new here: specifically, a little video action. We're working on a major renovation of the greater Olympiansrule website, with the video component scheduled to play a big part in the revised site. Consider this little treat, a short virtual tour of my drawing desk, to be a kind of teaser for some video goodness to come. I act a little silly, and show off some artwork for the upcoming Olympians Book 5, Poseidon: The Yet to be Subtitled, amongst other things.

Special thanks to my pal Natalie Kim for putting this together, She's one half of the Supertwins, a new comedic web series premiering this October.

Guest drawing from Becky Cloonan

So here's a nice side effect of working in a studio with a bunch of amazingly talented artists. Sometimes you come in and there will be an awesome little drawing by one of them at your desk. Becky Cloonan drew this great portrait of Poseidon on a scrap of paper at my desk. How cool is that?

Poseidon

continuing with yesterday's theme of hot gods, here's a drawing of Poseidon that my studiomate Becky Cloonan thought was all that, albeit in a Danzig kind of way. She's a real headbanger, that one.

Tomorrow, I'll try to dig up something for the appreciators of the the female form out there.
