Today, Nigeria turns 50. Here's some Jupiter Jonah.

So here's something Shof and I whipped up in time to post on Nigeria's 50th anniversary of independence. As you can see, it features almost the entire main cast of Jupiter Jonah and the Eye of Oduduwa (lovingly rendered by my good brother). From left to right, there's the pirate trio of Denarii, Blass and Rashidi, and then the scourge of the seven systems, Captain Stein, Jonah himself, Prospero the gladiator, and Funlola, the renegade.


As a bonus, it's even tricked out in green, white and green! Be sure to check out Shof's blog, he's got another wallpaper he put together to commemorate today :)

Thanks louie!

Michelle, I've finished with the script for book one and I'm working on the story for book two at the moment.

Right now Shof and I are working more actively on a comic with a writer we met online, so actual production on the art side of things for Jonah is on hold till next year or so.

And thanks for the birthday wishes :)
