T-Shirt Design.

Ka-BLam is giving away some free stuff if you win this T-shirt design contest thingie. I'm doing this book called Bee Sting with Matt Smith, He suggested maybe we whip something together. As such here it is.

NEW MINI COMIC!!!!

I have a new mini comic coming out. It's a collection of 3 8 page stories about folks in the Appalachian Mountains. The stories are called "Cowboys and Indians", "Caw" and "Memorial Day". The first two were in anthologies, Cowboys and Indians has been out of print for a long time so I'm stoked about that. All of them beyond location are sort of thematically linked. I'll have it for the convention season. My first stop, is SPACE! March 19th and 20th.

Portrait of the artist as a young dork.

Jason had an awesome idea that when we did a blog post over on the Amateurs site our avatars should be headshots of us as teenagers. So, here's my illustration of myself back then. I spared my mother's feelings by not putting any cigarettes or joints in my mouth.

Amateurs begins.

Well. The site is up. Jason did an amazing job. Amateurs will be updated Tuesday and Thursday. Keep checking back for updates. I'd like to thank ol' Jason Rainey publicly. so...THANKS. You are AWESOME!!! It's going to be a fun ride.

What a difference Dr. Rainey can make.

Just wanted to share this. It amazes me the difference a little gray can make. Jason pencilled this thing. I inked it and then he ran it through his magic compu-machine (some thing called "photo shop'). Then you get a page that looks like it was in a comic printed on newsprint.......It's magic. Seriously though, I'm pretty amazed and happy to be involved in the process. I did my first book on my own, having someone else involved has certainly made Amateurs an exciting thing. Jason Rainey is a swell fella.

Plans and Stuff.

Amateurs will begin serialization on November 29th. We are going to do page updates Monday and Wednesday. I'm also working on another graphic novel. It's called 'Round These Parts. I'll be going to Roanoke Valley ComicCon October 23rd, and Virginia Comic Con In Richmond this November. For the Richmond con I plan on having all my mini comx back in print. These include:

FUNK

Cowboys & Indians

Pornin

Caw

Of Course I still have PLENTY of copies of The Deadbeat left as well. Go here NOW!:

Sorry It's Been Awhile

The Amateurs will be serialized online this fall. Jason Rainey the penciller is getting a website together. I've been writing the script and taking care of Junior. I'm stoked about where the comic is going. Thanks Jason for knocking this stuff out of the park. I'll keep everyone posted.
