The wrestling/comics connection has always been strong, from their shared roots in carnival strongmen singlets to former grappler CM Punk's writing comics career. And here's a new one: Muscle Temple, an indie comics anthology spotlighting the squared circle that is currently being crowdfunded. Frank Gibson of Tiny Kitten Teeth is leading the rumble. which will include work by Maddy Flores, Sam Alden, Box Brown, Amanda Meadows, Zac Gorman. According to Gibson:

How is it possible that I’ve already missed the first twenty-one days of Capture Creatures? According to the project’s site:
Capture Creatures is a year-long project where Becky Dreistadt will create 151 different hand-painted creatures, the same number as the original Pokemon. Each creature will be accompanied by a short encyclopedia entry by myself, Frank Gibson.
They’re also planning a touring gallery show when the project is complete!
I love Becky Dreistadt’s paintings - reminiscent of all the classic golden books - and Frank’s writing is such a great fit for the look. If you don’t know their comic, Tiny Kitten Teeth, go ahead and get acquainted.

One of my favourite scores from TCAF this year was a copy of Becky Dreistadt and Frank Gibson’s Tigerbuttah book. Printed like a vintage Golden Book, the story follows the perfect retro-styled adventures of young Tigerbuttah rediscovering his imagination. The printing for the book was done by the Golden Books people themselves, so it looks and feels just like the real deal. In fact, its silver foil spine (the gold spine is copyrighted) is the only giveaway that this book is slightly different, and kind of special.
Tigerbuttah is available through the fine folks at Topatoco.
Don’t forget to visit Tiny Kitten Teeth for more Tigerbuttah adventures and comics.

Loved the colors and characters. Never been to this site before, but liked what I saw. Your site must be brand new. I say that because , surprisisngly…only ONE person liked it?. Anyway…great work
Sorry bout the brain boob there. If I'd thought to look further, I'd have noticed that MORE people do like it. My mistake/
You forgot to mention that the book was made possible by the Kickstarter donation site. So, their fans have a lot to do with the specialness.
aahh, this is the cutest!
Spectacular! Just got mine!
colorful, but a feeling of darkness…was this what you were going for?
