The 12 Year Story

When it comes to writing and story construction I tend to be very slow and deliberate. Which is quite the opposite with my art. Though I'm trying to adjust them both to serve me better.

These two concepts are from a project that 12 years ago would certainly not be called derivative. Now it's run its course but it's taken me this long to come up with a story worth telling. I've yet to hear of a successful "girl and robot" story. So maybe I still have a chance.
Funny thing is I actually published the characters in back-up feature for Funk-o-tron publishing. I doubt anyone ever saw it way back in what...2000. Suffice it to say, this is still not my next project...unless someone's willing to pay me my professional rate. :)

Either way, I'll be working on it in between things while I do a rewrite of "my next project".
More later as things start to develop.

Blistering Excitement

This is a photo from the Windy City Comicon. See how exciting these things can be?
More of the show photos can be found here. It was held at the Gay and Lesbian Outreach Center on North Halstead.
No really, it's true. Who knew?

My friend Pav, in the lower left, helped man the table which is a huge boon because being trapped with all your wares makes for getting to food and toiletries a big hassle.

Marketing Machine

THINGS UNDONE should be in your store waiting for you. Read what others are saying…

Comic Evolution, local retailer in Washington state, put it on their must have list and “…sold 8 copies just this morning.”

Comics Bulletin says: “… it’s a very thoughtful and creative book with a tremendously satisfying finish.”
Read the full review here.

I hope you consider giving it a look. :)

Got that Dead Feeling

Just got back from the Windy City Comicon where my book, THINGS UNDONE debuted. And I can't sleep...again. So...I felt compelled to throw down a color sketch. I have several digital illustrations in the works but they're not far enough along to show.

The book sold really well and had a lot of compliments. It's certainly eye-catching and practically glows in the dark so...watch for it this Wednesday.
