Now that I've dusted off the old Hype Machine, I might as well put it to good use and actually, you know, hype something of some import. Or at least of relevance to someone else.
I know a young man by the name of Rashad Doucet. He's a cool enough guy. He's sensible, funny, and a Clix compatriot (although clearly, I am the superior Clix warrior... but I digress). The important thing here is that he's an artist, a very good one in fact. And after years of practicing his craft, he has a product.
The book is entitled "My Dog is a Superhero" and is published by Artic Wolf Publishing. And while many of you will assume that's self explanatory and move on, I will indulge you and quote the product description:

Ashleigh Bryce was just you average 10 year-old fashion diva wannabe until she discovered a cute little blue dog, who turned out to be the kid hero WOLFBOY. Together the two must set aside their differences and catch evil aliens disguised as pets. In this volume: All Ashleigh wants to do is go to school, and then to a concert featuring her favorite pop-star, but along the way she and Wolfboy bump into the villainous KID SQUID, the super-fast SABER SQUIRREL, and the just plain mean FROGBOY. It just may end up being, the LONGEST DAY EVER!Now, I haven't had the pleasure of reading said book yet, but it sounds cool enough. And hey, the guy's a pretty good artist so far as I can tell. I'm no expert, but check out a few preview pics of his book for yourself:
You can check out some more preview pics (and a bit more of Rashad's work) here in his gallery or at his webpage. My Dog is a Superhero is on sale at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. For the more locally inclined, it apparently is also on sale at the Waldenbooks at Savannah Mall. So toss a little local support for an up and coming artist, pick up a book that looks like it might be cool to you, or just burn some cash on it because you're inexplicably inclined to do whatever I tell you. I've got a few copies on the way, and I'll no doubt be talking about the book a few more times before it's all over with (that is, after all, what good Hype Machines do).
