Hair transferred to Despuess rig by Paul Ormerod
(for some reason the earlier rig version was imported in this particular scene - usually they are linked thus making it easier to swap out an older rig with an updated version. Paul to the rescue! Also this might just be the last Despuess scene to test render.))

Message from Sean Michael Robinson who is in charge of the Cerebus restoration project:

Hello everyone. This is just your periodic update that we are still looking for original Cerebus art scans! Although I've now completed work on approximately 2,300 pages of the series, almost every time I get a new original art scan I'm still shocked at how much detail was lost as it went from stat camera to negative to original printings. Every single page counts, and my restoration job will never be complete until every single page of original art has been tracked down and scanned.
So! Do you have an original art page or other piece of Dave Sim artwork? Do you know someone who has one? Please contact me at cerebusarthunt at gmail dot com for further info! We're looking for color 600 ppi scans. Any and all leads appreciated! Thanks again for your support.
(for those of you curious about the particulars—when a book has been "completed," the original art scans are filed away until the next print run. So, for instance, the next printing of High Society will have an additional 20 or so original art pages replacing existing pages sourced from negs or print copies. The next C + S I edition will have a whopping 45+ pages sourced from original art. Etc etc etc.)

Jim Lawson says:
I got back home late last night from the Philadelphia Wizard World show and I had a great time. I was busy but not so busy that I couldn't spend some time hanging out and chatting with the folks that came by my table. 
A highlight though for me was that they placed me right beside Gerhard (of Cereus fame). It was just awesome spending time with him and his partner Shelley and I even came away with a super swell jam piece that we did. I'll always treasure it.
