Wood burning comic book artist and writer, Daniel Crosier, here. Wanting to encourage comic book stores and vendors to carry Distortions Unlimited #2, set to release in February 2011!

To further promote the book, I will do a custom wood burned store logo for every comic book store that orders 20 copies, or more, of Distortions Unlimited #2. I am also open to booking signing/demo/speaking engagements/events for stores in Colorado, as well as nationwide if I can get hotel & travel expenses compensated.

Here’s the order codes for Diamond, so fans can order through their favorite comic book stores: DEC100789 F DISTORTIONS UNLIMITED #2 (MR)

Can’t find a comic book store, go here: http://www.comicshoplocator.com/

Bluewater Productions presents a unique horror comic that revolves around existing full-scale monster and alien animatronics in the new series titled “Distortions Unlimited.”

The three issue series is based off of licensed characters crafted by Distortions Unlimited based in Greeley, CO. Distortions is world-renowned for creating shocking props, masks and animatronics that have been the mainstay of the dark amusement industry for the last 30 years. The company is best known for reproducing the 16ft queen alien from the film “Alien” cast from the original molds, as well as designing the stage props for music industry icon Alice Cooper’s Brutal Planet tour.

Daniel Crosier, writer and illustrator on the series, has a unique connection with the project. “I grew up near the Distortions studio in Greeley. I used to tour the studio when I was a kid and was fascinated by their creations. I suggested to Darren Davis the president of Bluewater to partner with Distortions to develop another horror comic. Darren liked the idea, so we approached them with the concept. Distortions was enthusiastic about the partnership and green-lighted the project.”

The entire series focuses on Distortions’ Rage animatronic. Described as half Neanderthal, half beast, and all fury, the Rage is one of Distortions’ most popular characters. Ed Edmunds, president of Distortions elaborates of the protagonist of the books. “Rage has been a fan favorite for years. The sheer size of the piece commands attention and really gives people a good scare. He’s a great character to base the series on.”

The second issue of the series continues into the horror unleashed on the earth with the collapse of a mine. The plot was crafted with multiple, intertwining layers that combine fantasy and true-life events ripped from today’s headlines. Local Denver celebrities, Uncle Nasty and Matt Need from Clear Channel’s KBPI and Allana Rizzo from Rocky Mountain Fox Sports Net have lent their likeness to the project.

Crosier will bring a unique look to the books by illustrating with his watershed technique. All covers and interior pages of the series will be created with graphite on wood poplar panels. The books will have a high contrast, distressed, organic look.

The creative team will also include veteran inker Peter Palmiotti. Palmiotti has worked for a variety of comic publishers including Marvel Comics, DC Comics, and Image.

The release date is for the first issue of Distortions Unlimited #2 will be February 2011.

My friend Alex Meyer (www.alexjmeyer.com) did the cover.

I co-write this title in addition to the interiors. Special thanks to Peter Palmiotti for the inks, and Zach Meyer who was the additional co-writer.

It takes any army..and I had a good one. Kudos to all my friends for helping make this project a reality.

I’ll have signed copies for sale on my Etsy store shortly.

Hi Everyone-

The Bart Trade is available for pre-orders now!  Check it out on Amazon. I burned the entire book on blanks on pine- it took a while but it’s got a unique look to it.

Daniel Crosier was featured on Denver’s #1 News station, KUSA talking wood-burned comics.  We’d like to thank everyone at 9News and Dan’s publicist Wendy Manning for getting the segment green-lighted.
