Obviously, if you've said hello in previous Introduction threads, there's no need to do it again.

We don't insist on real names here. I find it helps, but, frankly, if you want to be a completely fictional invention of yourself, go right ahead. Hell, I've even known people who have started out fictional and then become their own invention.

Hello. I'm Warren.

I found FREAKANGELS on Tuesday and read the entire thing by Friday morning. I am now emensely jealous of Warren Ellis and want to grow up to be just like him (minus the caffeine addiction and poor immune system)

I've been hankering for a place to discuss comics, find new stuff, that kinda thing. Somebody over on the MakingGraphicNovels.com forums said I might find that here.

I'm Craig Collins, I live in Glasgow and grew up in Tasmania.

Been meaning to join for a long time, my wife follows Warren on Twitter and mentioned the webcomics thread so I thought I would jump aboard.



I'm a small press comic writer, doing mostly weird horror and oddball humour. I've had stuff in Hive, New British Comics, Nib-Lit, every issue so far of Alan Grant's Wasted, and just last month managed to get in the Viz! You can see my continued misfires in comedy comics here: http://www.craig-collins.blogspot.com. I also did the bizarro-horror comedy comic Roachwell in collaboration with Edinburgh artist Iain Laurie.

That sounds like a low-rent CV, but I love reading comics, writing comics and working with cool artists. Whom none of the above would be possible without, so kudos to them all.

I've also got an awesome wife and an awesome wee daughter, and a passably ok day job. Now, that's more than enough outta me.

Thanks for having me, look forward to joining in the discussion!]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9120&Focus=268408#Comment_268408 2010-11-05T06:56:08-07:00 2013-05-20T18:04:09-07:00 texture http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1472

I'm probably one of two people here who loves American Football. Console games, computer sim games, online shooter games, superhero comics, anime, 30's pulp short fiction, speculative fiction and fantasy novels, geektastic films, and paper-and-dice RPGs have all been the objects of my obsession at one point or another. I'm mostly here for the Grim and Terrible Speculative Fiction Is Coming True infofeed.

One time (years ago) I scheduled a lunch with Warren for my then-boss, and last year I saw Lenora Claire at a DIY music show in an art gallery. It's as though I've sensually fingered the gaping wound of the internet! Alas, Babylon.

You can also look me up as Luis G. Abbadie in Facebook if you want to see me being nonsensical.

What is "real"?

Is my "real" name the one i was born with, or the one that appears on my work and friends & family use when they want me? -3- (pronounced "Three") feels like my real name to me. It's part of my secret campaign to stay one of the world's most unknown artists. Even if you find one thing i worked on, good luck searching from there. Or even clicking on Amazon.com links of my name. (See La Muse at Amazon.com, for example)
And good luck with search engines. Even if there weren't three bazillion other 3's embedded in web pages around the net, that hyphen before the numeral acts as a minus sign, telling most searchers to ignore the 3. Good for keeping my privacy here in my hermit cave, but maybe not the best call when artists tend to rely on visibility to keep working.

I used to have more name, but i kept dropping bits and pieces of it back in the 90s, and i was just too damn lazy to go back and get them. I think during my time working as an artist & animator in computer games back in the 80s & 90s, my name went through about five or six permutations before devolving to the current label, which has stuck since '97 or so.

I'm afraid i don't have a real photograph, either. But this drawing is pretty accurate, excepting the palid skin tones:


As one might suspect from all of that, i have some strong anti-social hermit tendencies. But i'm trying to emerge from the cave a bit. So - here i am.

Not surprisingly, with all that time alone in the cave, i like to read books & comics, and watch lots of movies - from all over the place. But i do have a special fondness for Hong Kong spooky comedies, and my favorite actor (now sadly deceased) is Lam Ching-Ying. I'm more science fiction than fantasy - more philosophy than mystery, but i'm always willing to look at new things and see what they've got.

I much enjoy cooking, perhaps a side-effect of much enjoying eating. And i sit on my ass drawing all day. Amazingly, i'm only packing a few inches extra on the waist. I pretty damn tall, and hit my full height at 13 - so that mutant feeling comes natural. Though i think i may have started growing again - my head seems to be moving up past my hair...

On the art side - some games i worked on include Wasteland, Neuromancer, The Lord Of The Rings, RoboCop Vs. Terminator and Star Trek: Starfleet Command. Graphic novels include A Drug War Carol, The Probability Broach, La Muse and Phoebus Krumm.

Currently i'm developing a graphic novel to sell, and launching a webcomic called experiMental Theatre. But i should probably be looking for a paying gig, huh?
That seems to be a little too clever for me.

Oh, and Luis just above reminds me - i kind of like C'thulhu, too. Or maybe it's just the tentacles?
C'thul-Whu?]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9120&Focus=271176#Comment_271176 2010-11-21T13:33:47-08:00 2013-05-20T18:04:09-07:00 jdaysy http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=7749

Hi, my name is Diogo Campos and I’m from Portugal. I’m in the last year of Industrial Management and Engineering and I still have no idea what I’m going to do. Having an unhealthy addiction to comics, movies and literature, I ended up writing about comics creators for a Portuguese comics festival and also my own short comics.

This is my blog and this is a photo of me from many years ago (haven’t changed that much).
