I’ll be at Canzine in Toronto on Sunday, October 26th! Kim Hoang was nice enough to offer me a little bit of space at her table, so I’ll have everything you see here with me. Maybe a few copies of You Ain’t No Dancer 3 as well. See you this weekend, Toronto!

A quick update while I wait for photoshop to save a file!
I did two drawings for a show coming up at the Aurora Gallery in Worcester, MA in December. The show looks like it’s going to be really great and I’m excited to be a part of it. Some of the artists involved (myself included) have been featured on the Modus Lotus blog.
THE GREAT WAR
THE WAR TAKES AN UNEXPECTED TURN
Looks like Are You Man Enough? got a little mention over on USA Today’s Pop Candy blog. Neat!
“I got a bunch of comics at the Small Press Expo, so that’s on my list of things to do this weekend. One funny minicomic actually has a fake mustache on the cover — it’s called Are You Man Enough?, and it’s drawn/written by Phil McAndrew. You can see a bunch of his work on his website, and he posted the entire Man Enough comic online. Sweet.”
For those of you that were unable to make it to SPX this past weekend, my new mini comics can now all be purchased online.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you to everyone that came by and said hello at SPX over the weekend!
I’ve got more bad pictures over on my flickr. I only took two or three pictures during the actual convention. I kept forgetting I had a camera! I don’t really feel like writing up much of a report, I’ll just forget to mention people and fun things that happened. Maybe I’ll write about some highlights of the weekend once I’ve had some time to relax and read a few of the comics I came home with. I’ll just say that I had a lot of fun, sold a lot of comics, bought a lot of comics, goofed off with some of my favorite people in the world, met lots of new great people, ate way too much, and am already looking forward to SPX 2009. I came home with eleven copies of You Ain’t No Dancer 3. It’s a beautiful book and I feel mighty lucky to be a part of it. I do have some mini comics left over and will post ordering info for those that are interested sometime in the next couple days.
I’m still trying to catch up on emails after not having touched a computer for almost 4 days. Be patient, my friends! I will respond!
Here’s a look at some of the new mini comics I’ll have with me at SPX this weekend!
Are You Man Enough? It’s easily the most popular thing I’ve ever drawn. Yes, I have fake mustaches and will be sticking them to the covers of each copy. I’ve got a variety of shapes and colors, so there is a mustache for everyone. I’ll be sticking them on as people buy them, so you can pick what kind of mustache you want, or if you even want it on the cover at all. I’m sure some people will just want to stick the complimentary mustache on to their faces so that they can strut around the convention with confidence, knowing that they look really dang cool. Anyways, this one is twenty pages.
The Secret Thoughts of Harold Lawrence Windcrampe. This one is a beast at forty-eight pages, with a two-color screen-printed cover on fancy paper. I put a lot of time and care into printing these!
This & That 3. These aren’t exactly new - I printed the first run of them over the summer for the MoCCA Fest and I’ve had them available online since then. But I have less than ten copies left from the first printing and I have yet to bring this mini comic to SPX so I decided to go ahead with a second printing. The contents are the same, but the covers are a little different. The first printing had screen-printed covers on mint green cardstock. The second printing doesn’t have screen printed covers, but the cardstock is twice as thick and they’re printed in black on super fancy “orange fizz” colored paper. I originally wanted to print on orange stock for the first printing but wasn’t able to get my hands on any in time for MoCCA. So I do think the second printing looks a little nicer! They’re thirty-six pages and collect some of my short strips, doodles, and anthology contributions from the last couple years.
I only printed 100 copies of each of these. If I have any left after SPX (I’m sure I will), I’ll make them available online. I’ll also have This & That 2 with me this weekend, but in limited supply.
For all the info on SPX and how you can find me there, check out my previous post! See you this weekend!
