rohrmuller1 Local artist Simon Rohrmuller In Sweden there are two ways to make a living; either you make, what some people like to refer to as, “music”, or you sell elk merchandise to tourists. Simon Rohrmüller never could figure out how handle an instrument so it didn’t sound like he was trying to slowly kill it, or was anywhere near pleasant and friendly enough to be a forthcoming and good sales person. He did, however, know how to draw things that looked like stick figures, so he figured out a third way; draw comics. Unfortunately (or luckily -all depending on how you look at it), no-one was stupid enough to hire him, but through the wonderful process of extortion and with the help of very convincing photo manipulation he forced writer Rich (BleedingCool.com) Johnston into giving him the artist and lettering chores on the Watchmen parody WATCHMENSCH (2009), which, surprisingly enough, was well received. Other works Simon has miraculously managed to land include the occasional back-up stories in various Aspen Comics’ books, and even medical text books on acupuncture. Currently Simon is working on a new project with Rich, which he remains very tight-lipped about, but slip him a few beers and he’ll spill it all to whoever happens to be in earshot. Unfortunately he doesn’t speak Dutch or French, but he is fluent in English, as well as Sarcasm. Simon has read many, many comics and likes to talk about them… He’s also read the Twilight books, but he’d rather talk about comics. www.facts.be/guest-archive/simon-rohrmuller/ |

I'm very glad to hear that. =)
Aside from copies of Watchmensch and sketches, I'll be expanding this year with a couple of prints that (I hope) might be of interest. Just swing by my table and have a look... or at the very least -a chat. It's always nice to meet you guys. =)

Good idea, Boom -a little sneak peek for the visitors of these boards. As I've a couple of prints to offer, and there are a couple of weeks to go before F.A.C.T.S. '11 rolls about I'll show a new one every week (starting today) until the show comes around... or I run out of prints to show -whichever comes first. First, let me just say that all the prints are limited in quantities and once they're gone they're gone -there will never be more. They've each been individually hand numbered, signed and given a stamp of authenticity to prevent possible forgeries. Each one is one of a kind. The size of the prints are A3 (297 × 420 mm) and on sturdy, white paper. Secondly, because this is my first time offering prints I do not know how popular the will be and I want everyone to have a fair chance of getting one, so I'm afraid I cannot make reservations. The prints are sold on a first come, first serve basis, so if you want to make sure you get a print you really want, please come by my table as soon as you can. If you wish a specific # on your print, or if you buy two or more and want matching numbers, I will try to accommodate your request best I can. Thirdly, I'm very sorry, but I do not have any sleeves (or otherwise 'protection') for them available -I've only for my own storage. If you're planning on buying one (or more), and want to make sure it's in pristine condition taking it home, please bring a portfolio or some other kind of A3 sized equipment with you. If you've any questions, please feel free to pose them here. All right, so let's start it off with the first print -the God of Thunder himself -THOR! Attachments:

Spoilers, Grim. There are a few more weeks to go before the doors open, so I've a bit more up my sleeve. You'll just have to stay tuned and see for yourself. =) Thank you, Grievous. =) |
