The Friday Lowdown
A download of the past week and what's coming up!
SHOP TALK.
Hey everyone, Megan here! We are SO excited to be ready to roll with this print you guys. Skottie’s connecting Star Wars covers are printed together for the first time in our EXCLUSIVE print. The colors are bold and fly off the page right into your face! The Galaxy Gang art print is epic at 32 x 17 inches and is off-set print on 80# cover with a matte finish. Signed by Skottie (of course!) in the white border before it is lovingly rolled and securely packed by John and myself.
Coming out October 19th and new in the shop is Strange Academy: Bright Side collecting issues 7-12. Books arrive with our exclusive book plate- stay tuned for that design. Both will be signed by Skottie! Head over to the shop below to grab yours.
WHAT’S HAPPENING IN SKOTTIE’S STUDIO?
Hey, Skottie.
What toy, game or thing did you always pine for as a kid but never get?
The upside to being a kid of divorce is that you have a lot of affection to barter with and parents and new significant others buy lots of toys to trade you for it! Hahaha. So I had the full Star Wars and He-Man lineups, playsets, etc. I was all good on the toy front.
There was one thing I wanted more than anything and NEVER got my hands on it. A DOOKIE ROPE! I was falling in love with hip-hop rappers from The Fat Boys to Rakim and Big Daddy Kane and LL and Run DMC. They all rocked that thick ass, gold rope chain and you couldn’t tell me I wouldn’t look fly as fuck if I rocked one of these. Alas, I never got one. Probably for the best. Can you imagine me, 6th grade, posting up a recess with my boom box and dookie rope…in FAIRYBURY, IL??? The name of my town says it all.
I think I’ll order one now though.
(Nobody get him one. We are all going in on a dookie rope with the SY logo hanging from it for Christmas. )
Have you got a fun question you’re dying to have Skottie answer? Leave us a comment!
Here’s a handy chart to lay out the levels of membership. Skottie’s first announcement newsletter lays it out in greater detail. If you missed that one, our archives can be found HERE. My door is always open at meganhodges@skottieyoung.com. Please send me any question you’ve got!
Just wondering, is there a character you haven't drawn cover wise yet that you'd like to and do you have a favorite character that is your favorite to draw? Love your art and we try and collect any of your work that we can. Have an awesome day!
Wow!! I've always loved those Star Wars covers and even own the Star Wars variant cover comic. Will definitely have to look at grabbing this!
I still unfortunately have not started reading Strange Academy....I know! I promise I'll get around to it!
This is the absolute first time I've ever heard the term dookie rope and it is not at all what I would've expected lol. I've always loved how into hip hop and rap Skottie is but man to get a dookie rope in 6th grade? Even in Fairbury, IL SOMEBODY would've had to respect the drip! I absolutely cannot wait to see the dookie rope with the SY logo hanging off of it! I'm sure he'll be ecstatic!
