Artists of all styles have been paying tribute to Charlie Hebdo, a French satirical magazine, after an attack by masked gunmen left 12 dead at the Paris office. 4 of the victims were revered cartoonists Stéphane “Charb” Charbonnier (editor and publisher), Jean “Cabu” Cabut, Georges Wolinski, and Bernard “Tignous” Verlhac.

New prints by Ben Templesmith
The creator of the amazing Wormwood comics, and artist to a whole host of great comic titles, has just added some new prints to his online shop. The prints are printed on demand, 11″ x 17″, 12 point glossy prints. So they are basically poster prints but one of the only ways so far to get some art from Templesmith. There is also a couple of books on the site to get as well.
Head on over and see what is on offer. Ben Templesmith Print Shop

Alternative Press Expo all this weekend
All weekend long, if you are in San Francisco you might want to stop over to the Concourse and check out the Alternative Press Expo. It will be filled with all sorts of indie comics, and there will of course be the original art and prints that many of these artists will no doubt have with them.
I love indie, self published comics, but it is really the art/prints that I am going to see. So I have put together a little list of some of the artists that you will be able to check out at the show. I am told it is not very big, nothing like SDCC, so finding some of these artists shouldn’t be too hard in case I wasn’t able to get the table number they are at.
– Food One, Dave Crosland & Scott Morse will be at #314, and then later that night at the Space Gallery on Polk for a live art with screen printing on an item you bring.
– Tom Haubs and Ken Garduno will be there, with some original works and a new zine.
– Hi Fructose will be there at #350-351, make sure you stop by to pick up some back issues.
– Lesley Reppeteaux & Daryll Peirce will be at table #119
– Alex Pardee will be there with ZeroFriends at #150. Bunnywith 2 will be sold, and a new 8″ x 10″ print that looks amazing.
– Ben Walker will be at table #446
– Camilla d’Errico will be at table #272, with some prints, keychains and books.
– David Choong Lee will be at #254-255
– IDW Publishing will be at booth #331-332, and I think Ben Templesmith will be signing.
– Jim Mahfood will be at table #314
– Jeremy Tinder will be at #349 with his new “Papercutter” book
– Tom Neely will be at #360-361 with some booksAlong with the A.P.E there is also two shows opening that go along with the Expo.

“Art of Wormwood” by Ben Templesmith now available
If your a fan of Ben Templesmith, or even just the Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse comic, a new book is available that is chuck filled with art from the comic.
Inside the book you will find images of all the covers, unpublished images a short story that is debuting in the book and I imagine there will also be a few progress images featuring how Ben creates his art. He had some examples of how he works in his Tommyrot book, so It’s a safe bet he will do it in this one as well, especially since I know he gets nagged a lot as to how he creates his unique art.
All you have to do is either find a place online to grab he book, or like I did, order in your local comic shop. This way you are are helping out a local business. There are three versions it looks like:
The standard softcover: JUN084067
Signed and numbered Hardcover: JUN084068
Signed, SKETCH EDITION Hardcover: JUN084069Here is an image of the cover.
