Congratulations to Dean on winning this month's competition with Aeon of the Dead. I'm certainly a fan and I'll be following it the whole way through.

Hey Adam, it was a pleasure to compete with you in this month's Zuda and I'm certain that we will remain friends... Keep the great comics coming and hope you have a great 2009!

Well Adam, thus is the way of the woodstock boys. A damn good competition though. Sorry that I couldn't gather enough support back home, but a load of favorites, a lot of votes, and many many views isn't something to laugh at. Good showing, and I myself, and what I can honestly say must be "HUNDREDS" of other people can't wait to see your future works. Feels good doesn't it? As usual, if you need any help just let me know. You did good Adam, damn good. Next time we get a chance I would like to hear about your works in progress.
John.

and though it sounds odd...... "Go Bleed!"

Good luck!

Great stuff, looking forward to seeing more of your work in the future!

Thanks again everyone for the incredible support with BLEED.

The interview on comicmonsters.com (the largest horror comic site on the internet) that I mentioned previously, has corrected the error in the interview, so ignore my comment below about question 8, and head over to check it out if you haven't already.

rxdrone - Thanks so much :)

varnindustries - Thanks! :)

blackdog - I'm assuming they came from voters..? And yes you're right, I have been "busy running up the votes" by spreading the word and promoting my comic as much as possible the last few days. Sorry there aren't more comments for you to read. I'll be sure all my promotional efforts from here on out encourage comments. People leaving comments is not something in my control though so there's not much I can guarantee. If you think every vote should be accompanied with a comment then you could bring it up with the Zuda staff. There's not alot I can do about it. Thanks.

Still lots more artwork and stuff to read at my blog: www.AdamAthertonPresents.blogspot.com.
Thanks again. I appreciate everyone's support.
Keep the support coming, and Happy New Year.

RIGHT THE **** ON!!!

PS: The 8th question by The Big Bad Wolf in the interview on Comicmonsters.com was not part of the interview. That seems to be a mistake, cause I certainly didn't cowrite anything with a Steven Saunders. I don't know who that is. Regardlesss though, I think the article turned out really well and they chose some good images to post alongside it.

wooha! and me did it again... :P

Thanks everyone. It's great to see so many long time fans and supporters of my artwork show up here recently to support my comic endeavor BLEED. Many of you have been around for many years offering me incredible feedback on my art, and it's really kept me motivated and inspired and brought me to the point where I've been able to put together a comic and get in into the spotlight a little like this. I owe you all everything cause without you I wouldn't have the skills or ability to put something like this together. Thanks a million and I hope you all continue to watch my work as I progress forward. I've got some ideas and comic projects I'm really excited about already lined up for the next year, regardless of the outcome of this competition.

Best of luck to Dean and his comic Aeon of the Dead which is currently still holding tight on first place. Obviously my intent is to take first place from him (haha), but he's got a great comic that I would enjoy reading more of and he's a very grateful guy and honestly I'd be happy to see Aeon of the Dead win if not BLEED. Having said this, please still vote for BLEED which is a passionate and explorative essay on my life growing up in the sticks and my perspective of it after escaping to the city. I promise you you'll love every surprise coming and the characters that haven't yet been introduced as well as all the BLOOD in 100% cartoon realism! There's no implied violence here, it's all 100% explicit and you'll love it. We're going to go from girl's chatting about boys and high school to blood and gore splattering the walls and I guarantee you will enjoy every exploitative moment of it... unless you've had someone close to you brutally murdered, then it might just scar you or send you off the deep end with a machette and a homocidal agenda...

Thanks everyone. You all mean alot to me and my future as an artist.
It's Christmas eve and I've got alot of stuff to do but the least I can do is thank you all individually. ;)
