Rabid Rabbit 8 Update

This book is going to be HOT!
So much beautiful, beautiful stuff is coming in.

Here's another little sample page with contributions by Chris Butzer, Dunja Jankovic, Adam Kidder, Andres Vera and Wesley Bedrosian.

Rabid Rabbit 8 Update

The first comics are in, design and planning is coming along well and everybody is very excited about our latest issue, covering The White Album by The Beatles.

With 30 artists on board doing 30 comics, it's bound to be not only our biggest, but also most diverse issue ever!

Here's a preview of some of the artwork that came in so far – imaginitive, Rock'n Roll interpretations by Andre Roesler, Brendan Burford, John Green, Paul Hoppe and Edwin Vazkez.

Rabid Rabbit 8

And it has begun... once again. The team of Rabid Rabbit and its many contributors have started a new book, which will be simply titled Rabid Rabbit 8. And what a book it will be! A special square format! Many more pages! And a very, very WHITE cover!

Rabid Rabbit is doing The White Album by The Beatles, song by song. 30 tracks, 30 artists! Plus, an introduction written by the legendary Steve Heller! A special centerpiece by Wesley Bedrosian! And a back page written by Adam Eye. Featuring all our regular artists that you love, and some very special guest stars, including Brendan Burford of Syncopated Comics, Picturebox' Mike Reddy, illustrator extraordinaire Sam Weber, children's book wizard Jonathan Bean and the man himself, Mr. Seymour Chwast from PUSHPIN! A big thank you to everybody who's on board for this!

Film Tips

Go see the Persepolis movie, if you haven't already! It's a must for all who are in the visual arts. As we're all more or less conciously conditioned by Disney, Manga, and TV Cartoons, it's great to see such an outstanding visual language, that reminds you: "Hey, yeah, there's actually plenty other ways to do an animated film!"

The second one is Across The Universe, of which I was a little secptical first, but it's really quite entertaining. There's so many insider references for all you Beatles-Geeks out there. But most of all, it contains some great visual effects that do NOT rely on 3D-modelling! (mostly in "For the benefit of Mr. Kite"). Yes, another case of, "Hey, yeah, threre's actually plenty other ways" etc etc.

Rabid Rabbit Awards

Here's some fun stuff we received in the mail recently: These are publications from competitions that selected and thus honored our books: American Illustration 26, Print Regional Design Annual 2007 and 3x3 Illustration Annual 4. Yay Rabbit!

Happy 2008!

After a break from all bunny activites, Team Rabbit is getting ready for an exciting new year. Rabid Rabbit 7 is doing well and being distributed to comic stores near you. The latest addition is Atomic Books in Baltimore.

Besides that and many locations in the New York area, we're also in Chicago, Portland, Berkeley CA, Los Angeles and Seattle! Ask your local comic book retailer for Rabid Rabbit 4 through 7! 1 through 3.5 are now more or less out of print, with a few copies available online, and at the MoCCA Festival this summer.

And the Rabid Rabbit Juggernaut is solwly gearing up for our latest and most enormous venture, the mysterious Rabid Rabbit 8 (!). Stay tuned for more...
