MoCCa 2010

So, I won't be at MoCCa this year. Sorry all my friends and fans who planned to go just for me :-(

BUT, I will have work in an anthology there. Werwolf 2, a.k.a. Werewolf!!

Cover by Penina Gal. I've seen most of the comics that are going to be in this, and they are awesome!
New work by Penina, Josh Rosen, Nick Patten, Laura Terry, Betsey Swardlick, Mark Bilokur, Matt Aucoin, David Yoder, Jose-Luis Olivares, I think that's it. This is what I showed the samples for HERE

I'm real proud of my work for this story, I think my best inked page ever is in this comic!

Post MoCCA Post and more

So MoCCA was good,
others have blogged about it, so I won't really, I just had a good time. I also didn't take any pictures, but
Colleen Frakes and Penina Gal did!
Thanks to Penina and her parents for providing us a space to crash. Despite the heat and everything this was still one of the easiest times I've had a a convention.
Also, Amelia Part 2 is now available for purchase online at I Know Joe Kimpel

AND...
here's a free preview of the first 8 pages!

Open publication - Free publishing

I'm heading down to New York tomorrow morning for MoCCA.

Bryan Stone did a real nice drawing for me that's the interior back cover of my comic, he's got it up on his blog with a couple other nice drawings,

I'll see you in New York!

Steve Bissette is helping promote CCSers going to MoCCA, here he is talking about my comic among others!

MoCCA Post!

MoCCA is in less than a week!
If you didn't read it, IKJK sent out a press release about what's going to be at the table, including my new book. Read about it here
Here's the finished colors for the new issue.

I printed them up this weekend, and I'm pretty happy with them.

MoCCA Update

This weekend I put together the dummy for the new book,

I also watched two movie marathons in two days. A Star Trek-athon on Monday and a samurai fest yesterday. I'm actually a little movie exhausted, a little.
I'm super excited to see Drag Me to Hell this weekend though!

Also, check out this particularly disturbing panel from Chapter 7 of Amelia,

SOLD OUT

Monsters & Girls is sold out!
I just received word that Monsters & Girls: Amelia is sold out at I Know Joe Kimpel and there is a back log of orders!
Not to worry though, I'll be making a new run of M&G shortly, and for anyone who has to wait for an order because of me I'll throw in a secret gift!

In other news, I'm getting ready for MoCCA, I have a place to stay and a table to put my stuff on! I'll be at the I Know Joe Kimpel table again this year. So I'll see you there, June 6th and 7th!

I'm working on coloring the back cover for the new issue. I want to emphasize that this is still a work in progress.

Check out those quotes (you'll probably have to click on the picture to enlarge it to read them)!

Too late for a Mocca Post

But there's not a lot of other things to talk about.

I got my diploma framed. Art by Ron Rege Jr.!!

I had fun at the IKJK table.

I read all my MoCCA books.
Congrats to Alex & Kim for getting the Xeric Grant! Congrats to Chuck Forsman for the Awesome scholarship, congrats to Colleen and Jeff for good reviews on sequart, and all the other stuff, overall I'm behind on more than a few congrats.

More MoCCA comics

so in addtion to my own book, I'll also have work in two very awesome anthologies at MoCCA.

The first, Secrets and Lies, is put together by Cat Garza, and is like almost two hundred pages of awesome.

The second, Sundays 2, is put together by members of my graduating class, I have an original all new Dishy Dora story in it.

CCS people are going to be at a bunch of different tables, the I Know Joe Kimpel Table, the Sundays table, the CCS table, the Secrets and Lies table, and more, and CCSers are going to debuting a ton of new great comics.
Oh! Also, the local newspaper wrote a story about our graduation and there's a great picture of me and Chuck Forsman hugging

they also quote me heavily.
So in other news, it's moving season here in White River Junction.
EDIT
just so people know what to look for, here's the cover for my book, Monsters & Girls: Amelia
