Another resource I wanted to add to this venue was a listing of all press and fan coverage of the Inkwell Awards. I started such a list at my own site at www.almondink.com/inkwellawards.htmlwhich was linked to from our own site's press page. But I found that with deadlines and everything else it was a lot of work keeping that page updated, let alone other sections of my personal site like news&previews, art for sale, etc. So by continuing that plan here will make things a lot easier...not only for me updating, but it allows any members to drop links to venues that they discover that has any coverage or shows support of us whether they be message board threads, blog entries, or simply links to the site. Please also post the date of the entry if available as we may discover some entries long after they were posted so well be able to differentiate new from old coverage. The link above lists all initial coverage of us getting started up until 5/31/08. Then I will soon post several links that I collected over the following weeks covering our award results from this summer. From there it's a work in progress and nice resource for all. Thanks for your time and effort on behalf of the Inkwell Awards. Sincerely, Bob Almond

Yes, indeedy, Damon!
And there's more: in Comics Buyer's Guide # 1652 (cover dated April, but I just got it in the mail) Andrew Smith aka Captain Comics from his "Dear Captain" feature plugs us in his final paragraph on page 33 after posting an email I sent him in regards to another topic he wrote about several weeks ago.
Geez, I can't wait until we do our promotional press push around May;-)
