I wrote some podcast ads

I wrote these podcast ads for for the artist marketplace Redbubble. This is a thing I hadn’t done before, so it was nice to jump into a new type of project.

The first two are for for the 2020 Holiday Campaign. We explored the strangeness of 2020 through the theme of “The Holidays are Weird this Year. Shop Weirdly Meaningful Gifts.”

This one is for Redbubble’s home decor campaign from a few months back. We focused on how unique home decor by artists on Redbubble can help make quarantine more livable by “Making Space for You.”

And this one is a general “What the heck is Redbubble?” intro for folks who had never heard of the company.

Pretty happy with how they came out. Hope to do more of this.

Tyranny of the Muse is back. Again.

21f6c-totm2bcover_resize.jpg

Hey. Everything okay? Good. Same here.

Tyranny of the Muse, the comic book project I kicked off in 2011 is officially being relaunched as a partially re-drawn, re-written, re-edited, and expanded graphic novel with artist Dave Chisholm.

I’ll be posting a chapter as a webcomic every Tuesday HERE. Let’s call it Tyranny Tuesday. The first three are available now.

For those who don’t know, here’s the deal with Tyranny of the Muse:

Frank Fisher is addicted to inspiration. Literally. He's a creativity junkie. Bonnie is the muse who deals him his drug by injecting it directly into his brain through a festering wound. Together they work through the chaos of the creative process while navigating the existential land mines of their lives.

TYRANNY OF THE MUSE by creator/writer Eddie Wright (A Broken Everything, Regular Show) and illustrator Dave Chisholm (Canopus, Instrumental) is a darkly funny, offbeat, weirdly romantic mystery about art, hope, and the power of the past.

It’s been a long road:

  • Tyranny of the Muse is based on Broken Bulbs, a novella I published in 2009.

  • The comic book adaptation was launched via a successful Kickstarter in 2011.

  • Five issues of an earlier version were published digitally by Study Group Comics (2013 - 2017) and Alternative Comics (2014). Issues one and two were drawn by Jesse Balmer. A small limited run was also printed for convention appearances (out of print).

  • The 2020 edition is partially re-drawn by the amazing artist Dave Chisholm, re-edited, and expanded with all-new original material.

For those who’ve been with me for a bit, you know that this is a project I’ve come back to again and again. I’ve realized that this is the one for me. This is the one that I’ll never quit. I’ll probably be writing Frank and Bonnie forever. And I’m super happy about that. I have even more plans for them.

Please visit TYRANNYOFTHEMUSE.COM to start reading. The first three chapters are up now. A new one goes up every Tyranny Tuesday. #TyrannyTuesday? Can we make that a thing?
