I’m on vacation! (but still have access to the internet, it turns out!)
Monthly Archive for August, 2008
First, here’s a little comic that a team of archeologists recently dug up deep in the ancient catacombs of my hard drive.
I want to mention a few upcoming events that I’ll be exhibiting at:
- The Westcott Street Fair, right here in Syracuse NY on Sunday September 21st.
- The Small Press Expo in Bethesda MD on October 4th and 5th. I’ll be hanging out at the New Reliable Press table the whole weekend along with Kate Beaton. I think a bunch of fellow You Ain’t No Dancer 3 contributors will also be stopping by for signings at different times.
I’m planning to have new mini comics and new screen printed shirts with me at both of these events. SPX is something I look forward to all year. It’s like being at summer camp (in a hotel) for a weekend with a bunch of great cartoonists. I highly recommend checking it out.
I did the cover of this week’s issue of the Weekly Dig. I’m told it should be out tomorrow.
It’s actually an older illustration of mine that was never really used for anything, but they liked it and asked very nicely if they could use it on the cover.
I have a friend who just moved to Boston last week. I’ll have to get her to track a copy down for me…
From Ed Brisson at New Reliable Press:
Cracked open the last box of You Ain’t No Dancer 2 yesterday for Comix & Stories. Looks like there are less than 100 copies left.
If you haven’t purchased this book yet, you might not get another chance, especially with SPX coming up and the launch of You Ain’t No Dancer 3.
Yes! It’s true! I’ve redesigned my website. I’m pretty happy with it. I’ll be using this blog a lot more from now on to share news and updates. I encourage you to add it to your RSS feed reader thing!
Anyways, check out the new site. If you refresh a few times while looking at it, you might discover a neat surprise! The image on the right side of the page will change. One of three different images will be randomly selected and loaded. I plan to add a new one into the mix once every month or so.
Along with the new design, there are also SIX new illustrations up in my portfolio. Check them out! And if you haven’t already, take a peek at the comic I finished about a week ago, The Secret Thoughts of Harold Lawrence Windcrampe. It’s been getting a lot of link love. So far in the past week it’s been been viewed almost 80,000 times. I guess it’s pretty popular? I’ll have it printed up as a nice little forty-four page mini comic in time for SPX.
Speaking of SPX, I will definitely be there! And I will be sitting at a table! And I’ll have comics and shirts and stuff with me! Ed Brisson was kind enough to offer me a little space at the New Reliable Press booth, where You Ain’t No Dancer 3 will be debuting! I’ll be sharing my little corner of the table with Kate Beaton. I’m really looking forward to the weekend of October 4th & 5th!
And speaking of You Ain’t No Dancer 3, it won’t hit shelves until early October, but if you pre-order it now, your book will ship the week of September 22nd. So you can get it before the comic shops AND everyone at SPX!
My friend Natasha and I started a little project a while ago. We’ve been doing it purely for fun! Natasha draws pictures of girls and then I draw pictures of boys for them to date. Sometimes we switch it up and I draw girls and she draws boys. Here are a few of the characters I’ve come up with so far…
