So, this hasn’t gotten used much, because (as some of you may have heard) I’m in the midst of wrapping up LongBox for release this fall. The reaction to it has, to be honest, kind of floored me a little bit. Publishers, comic fans, and creators have been overwhelmingly positive and supportive and even, well... excited about it. When I started ( Read more... )

The 2009 New York Comic-Con was the first time anyone outside of the dev team, or affiliated groups (such as investors, attorneys, advisors, etc) had gotten any details on ‘The LongBox Project’ outside of my random, cryptic muttering on Twitter, or the early preview/interview done by Laura Hudson for Publishers Weekly months ago ( Read more... )

So, meetings about the Longbox Project required that I go to APE in San Francisco this last Saturday.  5 meetings with 5 publishers, crammed into as many hours.  Despite the hectic schedule, and the fact that my back was fucking KILLING me, (at one point, I was prone at the Image table while I sent my BOSS to runn and get me water for pain meds.  ( Read more... )

Sorry for the lengthy 'radio silence', I foolishly told myself that post-CBT launch, post-SDCC, I would have oodles of free time.

I've had worse weeks...

Signing went great!

My apologies for the incredible lack of updates... Promoting Comic Book Tattoo has ended up being as time-consuming (if not more) than actually putting the book together.  Combine that with the day job deadlines, trying desperately to catch up on the artwork for the overdue OGN Displaced Persons (which got delayed by CBT) a much-needed family ( Read more... )

The BEA Report - Part I

This is the first year I ever attended BEA (link), the monster book expo for distributors, publishers, retailers, librarians, and others in the book industry.  I had no idea what to expect going in, but anticipated it would be similar to a comic or game expo/show without the scantily-clad ‘spokesmodels’ and the blasting video ( Read more... )

 New comic from Shadowline/Image - Vix! interviews & Art! Hey all

my miniseries I'm writing with the incredible art of Matthew Humphreys, Vix! is coming out starting in June, and both Newsarama CBR have great articles/interviews this week, with lots of pages from the book.
CBR has the first four pages, and Newsarama has the second four, so combined, ( Read more... )

It's been an insane few weeks, having the simultaneous crush of wrapping CBT, Displaced Persons, and the scripts for Vix! all in tandem while doing promo and press for said items and dealing with an insane project at the 'real job'. (hence the silence)

Well tonight is the final art deadline for CBT... all of the files have to be delivered by ( Read more... )
