LATEST: the BICS event went well for Buskers it seems, with Sarah McIntyre's interview of my artists colleague being a show highlight I've heard. She writes:
"I think my interview of Michiru Morikawa went well. Something very cool happened in the middle of her talk; she was saying she was sad she hadn't been able to meet any of her co-creators, other than via e-mail, and suddenly one of them, Jeymes Samuel, said something like, 'Hey, I'm here!', and there was a big happy first meeting! Jeymes was able to talk about the film being made, and made Michiru glow with his effusive praise of her work. That was fun!"

The photo above is of Jeymes and Michiru, looking happy, book in hand! The Insomnia site says that BUSKERS almost sold out there: "Following Michiru's interview on Sunday we had a point where we literally could not get the books onto the table quickly enough for people to buy them and get them signed. It sounds like Crawford will be making a visit to the film set soon, but more and that (and pictures we hope!) in the coming weeks."
Click the post title to go Insomnia's website and order BUSKERS. It's my tenth book! And a new website has opened for BUSKERS, where music from the film version plays automatically on the web site. this music was given away free in a CD with the first 100 copies of the book sold in the UK convention. its cool music - funky style!

OLDER: My new book BUSKERS is being published by new British company INSOMNIA PUBLICATIONS. New but nice people who seem to know what they are doing! Singer and producer Jeymes Samuel is the main man who started BUSKERS, which will also be a film - with myself and Michiru Morikawa responsible for making the comic book version. Here is the cover mock up for the special edition that will be released in BICS, the Birmingham International Comics event October 3rd/4th 2009. Michiru and Jeymes will be there to sign and show the book (but not me this time, thanks to an unfortunate development which I wont gossip about publically).
Jeymes was nice enough to say this about me in the books text section:
"Sean Michael Wilson for me was/is a Godsend. His ability to take your words, adapt them, keep them the same but make them his own, is uncanny. Working with him was much easier than it should have been, I mean, he is based in Japan and I am London based, so time our time zone differences is a mutha! But my work and sleep schedule is literally all over the place so despite our times, Sean and I seem to keep the same sleep schedule. We were literally going back and forth with ideas at 4:30am."
Arigato Jeymes!
