Eclectic Micks Day




Its a momentous day here in Eclectic Micks land as we reach our 200th post without missing a day of putting up an image. And to celebrate, were going to announce:

The inaugural Eclectic Micks sktchbook, which weighs in at a whopping 120 pages!
The book is going to be launched at the BICS in Birmingham next October, from there were sure to follow it up with an Irish launch and then (hopefully) we'll be able to make a few copies available online
Check out the cover in all its glory here


So it wouldnt be a proper Eclectic Micks day without an art post so heres the big bad Sith himself, Mr. Vader



And ofcourse a little plug for the symptoms, you can check out an exclusive interview with the band right here at thesymptomsrock.blogspot.com which showcases the talented writing of Dave Hendrick and the fine art of the Micks

That's a nice looking cover :)

The red was a good choice, much classier looking than the Green, white and orange suggestion :D

nice detail on Vader

Stephen Mooney said...

Really like the Vader piece Will, there's something a lot more fluid to the pose and the organic touches on the inks really give him some life.
Great stuff.
And 200 posts? Really?!
That's a lotta posts.

Will Sliney said...

Congrats on the 200th and that's a cool idea about the book, looks good and I'm sure will be a seller.

We just went past our 70th post over on SC so I feel like a little struggling infant in your big brothers shadow :)

Keep up the awesome work guys!
