The Old Myrant Is Dead; Long Live the New Myrant!
Welcome to the archived original Myrant blog!
Joe and I are on tour promoting The Vermont Monster Guide throughout the rest of 2009 -- here's the dedicated Vermont Monster Guide page, jam-packed with tour dates, info and links; step-by-step 'how we did it' info and artwork; photos, links and all manner of monstrous delights.
I've also posted a section dedicated to showcasing Bissette drawing demonstration videos, revealing how illustrations in the Vermont Monster Guide were inked -- another feature we couldn't ever accommodate on this original Myrant blog, now integral to the new, improved Myrant site.
Other new book projects worthy of your attention:
* The upcoming (November 2009) paperback edition of Prince of Stories: The Many Worlds of Neil Gaiman (co-authored by yours truly, Hank Wagner and Christopher Golden);
* My new short story "Copper" debuts in the forthcoming anthology The New Dead (coming February 2010 from St. Martin's Press); I also did the cover art and interior color illustrations (in collaboration with Ignatz Award-winning artist Cayetano 'Cat' Garza, Jr.) in the Subterranean Press signed-and-limited hardcover limited edition of The New Dead (also coming in 2010).
* A plethora of new comics work, artwork and articles by yours truly in various Center for Cartoon Studies and Trees & Hills New England Comics collective anthologies (visit the new, improved Myrant's September 2009 posts for previews, art, info and links to buy!).
* I also have many new works being published by my good friends at Black Coat Press, with two new book series forthcoming in 2010.
If you enjoy my essays, articles and interviews here at the archived Myrant (and the new Myrant), be sure to check out my Black Coat Press book series S.R. Bissette's Blur -- currently up to five volumes (over 1200 pages!), collecting my complete writings on film, video, DVD and media. The latest volume, Blur Volume 5: Blog-O-Scope, begins the archiving in print of my finest blog essays -- this venue won't be archived forever, so pick up your set of Blur today!

Finally, I also want to bring to your attention the ever-expanding gallery of sketch art I post weekly at the new Myrant blog and site. I've been posting new sketches (most of them for sale!) at the new Myrant since January 2009, and it's grown into a mighty impressive gallery and sketchstore -- click this link and check it out.
In the meantime, also feel free to explore this archived Myrant blog.
Welcome to the archived original Myrant blog!

I'm posting this Fall 2009 update just to bring new visitors up to snuff.
