Hey there, I bought Banal Pig Funnies, amongst other comics, at the comic & zine event on saturday - when I took it to the pub that evening a friend of mine hurt his cheeks laughing so hard.
Keep up the good work!

"He Bought Me a Soda and He Tried to Molest Me in a Parking Lot!"

Volume 2!


Last year the first volume of this "collection of illustrations inspired by lyrics from those songs that get stuck in your head all day" was a great success and people had a lot of fun interpreting their favourite lyrics!

You can download the first volume as a free pdf here:

http://www.soundofdrowning.com/soda1.html

So the time seemed ripe for a Volume 2!

The specs are the same; artwork should be A5 300 dpi. As well as a limited edition artbook of the project there will also be another free pdf of the book, which has been downloaded by a good thousand people so far.

So give vent to those earworms and get sending those submissions to the contact details on this page:

http://www.soundofdrowning.com/Contact.html

Deadline is April 1st and I'm really looking forward to seeing this years entries!
