Hello, Internet. It’s been quite a while since this blog saw any activity. This blog will, in fact, soon be gone, soon to be replaced with a whole new Website Thing In-Progress. But, I still need to disseminate infos for things. So, here is an info for a thing.
S.P.A.C.E. is this weekend!
The above video is from 2010, but is excellent at expressing the kind of convention that S.P.A.C.E. is.
S.P.A.C.E. is the Small Press and Alternative Comics Expo. I will be setup there as I am every year because it is my very favorite comic convention. You can find me at tables #99 and #100. That’s right! TWO TABLES! I’m doubling down. Here’s a floor plan:
Sharing my space will be mini-comics extraordinaire, Kris Lachowski. You might recall that he is the witty gentleman behind Euni the Unicorn, as well as other great comics under his Mean Goat Comics imprint. Kris invited me to do the cover art for Euni the Unicorn #2 and I graciously accepted. Here are the results:
Kris will have Euni the Unicorn #2 available at S.P.A.C.E. along with the rest of his comics work.
I will have the usual Lackluster World goods on hand. My big attraction still being the final issue ,which was released in September last year, but is new to the S.P.A.C.E. crowd. I’ll be doing sketches all weekend too. And although I’ve remained mum on the Internet about my new projects, I might open up about them more if you come ask me in person.
Anyway, please come to S.P.A.C.E. and not just for me. There are so many great, weird comics to be had.
I must be brief as I’m leaving for New York tomorrow and have much to do. The fine folks at ComicRelated.com are graciously supplying me with table space this year as their Resident Artist. I”ll have all the usual LACKLUSTER WORLD books and goods on hand as well as the brand friggin new series finale, LACKLUSTER WORLD #7!
We’re at tables D-10 through D-12 in the Artist Alley. I’ll be taking commissions too, so bring your sketch books.
September 15 (TONIGHT!) 9:00 EST I will be joining my old friend Adam Tally on his somewhat-new podcast IN THE TRENCHES to talk comickry ranging from production to promotion. You can listen in live and ask questions via the chatroom, but the show will be available for download afterwards too. Here’s the link:
Did this commission of Dex-Starr, the Red Lantern cat, while at Chicago Comic Con a couple weeks back. Never even heard of this guy until then, but he might be my new favorite DC comic character. Forgive the crappy iPhone photo — I tried my best to retouch it.
The last planned manned flight into space by the USA was today. Without being a reason for, it is either a symptom of how far we’ve fallen or evidence that our accomplishments and the reasons behind them were never as lofty as we like to think they are. Collectively, we invest our resources only if the return can please our ego. Collectively, we think not of the future, but of lunch break. Collectively, we act not for our world, not for our countries, not even for our friends and families, rather we attempt to fallicize our collective and bureaucratize its decisions only in service to our personal addictions to instant emotional gratification.
