…DOGSPUNK…

Click on the “store” tooth and check ‘em out today

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.

I have an order in that will arrive in time for comic-con next week, my 6th t-shirt design. This one has Feral on it, and for the first time… the Ghost Skater!

Check it out, droogies!

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!

Here’s part 2… I am trying to be forward-looking in the layout. I know a lot of web-comic creators struggle with the web layout not translating easily to a print format… So here is how I plan to do this: release a row of panels at a time, but build them up on a downward scrolling page to be read as a regular printed comic page. When the story is done I will have it printed up as a book. Make sense?

As promised in Hard to Swallow #4, I am brewing up a web-comic that relates to the story in that book, starring an out-of-control Feral and the Ghost Skater trying to keep him out of trouble. Here’s the first 3 panels:

I’ll be constructing the pages like a regular printed page, but publishing on-line one-third of a page at a time. So the story will move along from week to week, but may dangle from time to time. I have what I believe is a unique way to navigate the story as well… but that will be moot until there is more than one chapter

Also, I have yet to decide on a title. The story is going to be fast-paced, high-energy, light-hearted, and span many worlds. It’s going to take place over some time in it’s own narrative, but less than 24 hours elapse back in San Julio (Fogtown). I was thinking of holding a competition for the title, and award a prize to the person who suggests a name that I decide to use. One caveat: Feral stories are all named after songs… for instance, some I am considering for the story are “tempus fugit”, “land of 1,000 dances”, “fodderstompf”…

Any takers?
