From the GHOSTS site:<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:verdana;" >"Nine Inch Nails presents Ghosts I - IV, a brand new 36 track instrumental collection available right now. Almost two hours of new music composed and recorded over an intense ten week period last fall, Ghosts I - IV sprawls Nine Inch Nails across a variety of new terrain.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:verdana;" >Trent Reznor explains, "I've been considering and wanting to make this kind of record for years, but by its very nature it wouldn't have made sense until this point. This collection of music is the result of working from a very visual perspective - dressing imagined locations and scenarios with sound and texture; a soundtrack for daydreams. I'm very pleased with the result and the ability to present it directly to you without interference. I hope you enjoy the first four volumes of Ghosts." </span></span><br /><br /><a href="http://ghosts.nin.com">http://ghosts.nin.com/</a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://ghosts.nin.com/"><img src="http://ghosts.nin.com/images/pic_splash.jpg" align="middle" height="300" width="300" /></a></div>Johnny Coxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01288565886878498536noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2697874002397071022.post-52974076110848374912008-02-02T15:35:00.000-08:002008-03-03T13:45:26.296-08:00City Slab Magazine Issue 12<span>Issue 12</span><span> of</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> <a href="http://www.cityslab.com/">City Slab Magazine</a></span> will feature a 5 page article on <span style="font-style: italic;">The Grand Guignol Theater </span>with illustrations by Johnny Machine.

It features one shot stories, pinups, illustrated poems and an ongoing series of short stories. In the spirit of the short story, each issue is half the traditional comic at 11 pages. Each issue features it's own S+G girl pinup on the cover. SHORTS+GOGGLES is available online exclusively at CANCERSASHES.COM"</span><br /><br />And since the site's launching today, I wanted to give you all a sneak peek, 5 page preview of the first story in S+G, "The Man Who Lived in Leeds" which was a favorite poem of mine as a child. Just visit <span style="font-size:85%;">CANCERSASHES.COM</span> and select the S+G link. Under the Issues section, just select the 5-Page preview link. The first issue will be released soon, and once it is I'll most likely post something here as well.<br /><br />Also a Commission Request Form is available for anyone interested in commissioning me for an illustration. Please use this in the future instead of sending me a note or an email.<br /><br />JohnnyJohnny Coxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01288565886878498536noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2697874002397071022.post-1148431757213376492008-01-05T18:18:00.001-08:002008-01-05T18:27:07.403-08:00CANCERSASHES.COM Launch Soon<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#000000;"><strong><a href="http://www.cancersashes.com/">CANCERSASHES.COM the art of johnny machine</a></strong></span><span style="font-family:verdana;"> will be relaunching within the next few weeks.

I've been rather busy with current projects and commission requests for the holidays. I am almost finished with the bulk of holiday commissions, which I'll be posting on dA soon. The <a href="http://serialkillercalendar.com/">calendar</a> is of course now available, and I'll be starting on a new project for Mad Hatter Design soon. More information on that is coming soon.<br /><br />In addition, I've been working on ripping down and rebuilding the web site, which in addition to work submitted elsewhere, will also feature additional exclusive content and a new online illustrated web-zine called <em><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">SHORTS + GOGGLES</span>. </em>Each issue of <em><span style="font-size:85%;">S + G</span></em> will consist of 11 pages, which is half the tradtional comic in length, going with the whole <em>shorts</em> theme. It will feature illustrated poetry, short stories in both one shots and also series that will be told in parts over several issues. Every issue will also feature it's own shorts girl pinup on the cover. I'm considering having a contest through either cancersashes.com, my myspace, or my dA account where users can submit their stories for a chance to be illustrated and featured in a future issue of <span style="font-family:verdana;"><em><span style="font-size:85%;">SHORTS + GOGGLES</span></em>.</span> I'm hoping to have the site up before the holidays, and <em><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">S + G</span> </em>soon thereafter. Currently, I'm building up content in between commissions so that there'll actually be something to see!<br /><br />So that's that. Have a Happy Holidays!<br /><br />Johnny<br /><a href="http://www.cancersashes.com/"><br /><img src="http://www.cancersashes.com/blog087.jpg" /><br /></a>Johnny Coxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01288565886878498536noreply@blogger.com4
