…DOGSPUNK…

So this was the first time I had done all 4 days of the convention.  I had fun, worked the booth half of each day, and discovered that my comics have a devoted following. I’d have to say my biggest moment was when I meet a guy who had Doug’s necklace of Mitch’s mummified finger replicated as a prop and was wearing it at the convention.

Thanks, Zach! Coolest thing ever.

More comicon reportage to follow…

Hey all, I will be posting updates on comicon and such very soon, but first I want to invite everyone to HARD HEROES 7 at MJ’s in Silver Lake this Sunday from 4-9pm.

I will be there, as well as Sean Z, Prism Comics, Iceman Blue, Brad Rader, Steven Garcia, Michael Troy, Will O. Tyler, Class Comics, and Axel. Check out the Facebook event page here.

So i am still hoping to get this thing done for sdcomicon next month. Just finished the front cover art… it took a while to come up with an idea I liked. I am working on the logo and the final interior pages now.

I am also considering advertisers to help with printing costs. Anyone have any ideas? Anyone want to donate or sponsor a page? Buy original page artwork from the book?

So I have been hoping to get the first issue of volume 2 of Hard to Swallow out by Comic-con in San Diego this summer. It may still happen, depends on how fast I can work. If not, the fall back plan is for the Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco in the fall. This here is the back cover, featuring the characters from the story “Code Blue”.

Hey there, just thought I’d throw out a tease of the FULL COLOR comic work I am chipping away at.

This is a panel from “Stray Bullet”, the next storyline in the Feral world. It will be in Hard to Swallow Comics vol.2 issue 1, along with “Code Blue”. In this panel Doug is giving the Ghost Skater some instructions on using a computer to go online. Give him some slack, he’s been dead for 18 years!

I haven’t posted in a while…. I’ve been busy with putting together a co-op comics distributing group (and editing a sampler book for it) and with a new dog. Both being fun, frustrating, and a lot of work… but ultimately worth it and things I love. Overdue are more tattoo posts, an update of the tattoo section, illustration section, and a rehaul of marginalizedpublications.com.

I’ll be at the Erotic Art Fair this weekend at West Hollywood Park, so come on down and check it out. It’s free to get in. See some great art and buy some dirty comics! I’ll have copies of the aforementioned sampler onhand.

Check out the Tom of Finland Foundation website for more info.

Hard to Swallow #4 is currently at the printer. A release party is planned at ISOTOPE in San Francisco, I’ll have more info on that soon. The book is 72 pages, and the best so far. Brad Rader is the guest artist… fantastic stuff.

Hey all, I just returned from working the San Diego Comicon, plying my wares, doing a timeshare table space with Steve MacIsaac. It was pretty fun, sold some prints, t-shirts, and of course some comics. Made some new friends and caught up with some old, and bought a load of comics, mostly some 2000AD stuff which is hard to find these days, so I stock up at their comicon booth each year. This is the first year I’ve worked this convention, I’ve volunteered and done signings at Prism’s booth, but this year Prism got a double-booth and sublet time-shares out to a bunch of us to set up mini-shops. It was a good, busy time, but now I must catch up on some SLEEP!!!
