Another Posting Siesta…and Comic-Con 2009

Posting will be light for the rest of the month – Brain Candy is busy gearing up for a Runes of Gallidon appearance at Comic-Con in San Diego in (gasp!) two weeks.

Let me know if you’re heading down. Kali Chung will be reprising her cosplay role of Ruena, a character from Runes of Gallidon, and she’ll be on the main floor most of Friday and Saturday.

I’ll also be at the convention with my two business partners, Tony and Andy, and we’ll be handing out 12-page sampler books filled with excerpts from fictional works, original art, and two pages from our first comic, Morgan. All the content, of course, is set in the Runes of Gallidon world.

If you can’t make Comic-Con, please continue to check out the Gallidon website. New content gets posted each week!

Runes of Gallidon Comic Coming Along Nicely

Brain Candy, LLC received the first five pages of the commissioned Runes of Gallidon comic being developed, and they look great. The artist, Bernardo Negron, is managing to produce visual interpretations of the comic script (written by Tony Graham) in a way that matches our vision but also includes value-adds here and there.

We’ve had a fun time stepping into the comic area, and we’re excited about seeing the finished product in a few months!

A Brief Respite

Posting will be light to non-existent for the next month or two – have to focus on Brain Candy site overhaul and rebranding, Runes of Gallidon site updates, the new series of posts about digital content I want to draft, and a lot of Kenji writing that’s gotten pushed off recently.

Apologies in advance…

ACTA Update (yet more exclusivity)

Boing Boing just provided an update on the ACTA language and policy, and it’s about as bad as informed observers feared.

Based on what has been leaked so far and including statements from various countries currently participating in this essentially closed-door negotiation process, it would appear that the U.S. and other countries have grown tired of trying to force their policies through the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) after being blocked by developing countries and NGO’s. So, rather than fight it out in WIPO (who, by the way, gave us the (ahem) brilliant DMCA legislation), they’re taking their marbles and going home in a huff to draft their own copyright policy, ACTA.

Just how twisted does your copyright policy have to be for you to sidestep WIPO and form your own private club to get your way…?
