Beautiful short film comprised of NASA’s Cassini Mission footage and set to Nine Inch Nails.

I’ll be at Heroes Con in Charlotte, NC this weekend with the usual LW stuff. I have not been to this show in 5 or 6 years, so it should be a fun return.

I will be setting up at Anime Central in Rosemont, IL this weekend. This will be my very first anime convention experience, so I don’t know exactly what to expect. Here’s a scary flyer…

Back in March at S.P.A.C.E., I approached my table to begin setup and to my surprise were a couple of packages wrapped in brown craft paper along with a sealed envelope labeled to “Mr. Adams” with the simple instructions to open the packages first.

I did so. Inside were the following pieces of original art, framed:

EUNI THE UNICORN is a character/mini-comic created by my friend, Kris Lachowski. Knowing I was a fan, Kris did these fantastic pages for me as a congratulations for finishing LACKLUSTER WORLD. It’s a little odd seeing anything from LW in color, but Kris may be unknowingly setting a precedent for things to come in my next comics project. More on that after I get this last issue of LW of finished and shipped off to everyone.

More about Kris and his comics can be found at Mean Goat Comics.

Thanks to Dan from Comic Book Pitt for conducting it.

This Saturday, I will be celebrating Free Comic Book Day as a guest of Packrat Comics in Columbus, Ohio. They had a huge event last year and I’m lucky to be joining them again for what looks like an even larger event. Details.

There will, of course, be some free comics. I’ll be giving away free copies of LACKLUSTER WORLD #1 to anyone walking by and extending a hand. I’ll be doing sketches behind the table all day too.

If you won’t be in Columbus, there will be plenty of Free Comic Book Day events at comic stores across the country. Find a local comic store near you with this handy search tool.

I don’t do many art commissions that aren’t my own characters or something original, but here’s a sketch of Etrigan the Demon I’m delivering at Gem City Comic Con this weekend. Honestly, I’m so out of touch with DC/Marvel characters that I had never even heard of this guy until now.

This Sunday, April 3, 2011 you can find me at the one and only Gem City Comic Con in Dayton, Ohio. I’ll be peddling all the usual LACKLUSTER WORLD wares as well as taking pre-orders for the seventh and final issue of the series.

Also, I’ll be selling more of these little beverage beauties that went over so well at S.P.A.C.E. last week.

In related news, my convention/appearance schedule is very, very full this year. Thanks to Wizard, I’ve added four more to the bring the total to 15 (including one that’s already done). And there may more. Here’s the full list of what’s to come:

S.P.A.C.E. (Small Press and Alternative Comics Expo), My favorite convention of every year is this Saturday and Sunday, March 19 & 20. Sadly, I won’t have LACKLUSTER WORLD #7 on hand, but I am taking pre-orders for it with free/low shipping cost.

Those are my updated my table stand-ups. I’m selling prints of the two on the left. Also, I’m expecting to have some LACKLUSTER WORLD coffee mugs too, but I won’t pick them up for a few hours yet so I’m waiting to see how they turn out before I post a photo.

Hope you can make it S.P.A.C.E.

Well, there’s good news and there’s bad news.

If you’ll be at S.P.A.C.E. on March 19-20 then be sure to keep reading to the end.

THE BAD NEWS: The release of LACKLUSTER WORLD #7 has been pushed back from March to April. I simply could not work fast enough. I’m estimating April 11.

THE GOOD NEWS: Look below to read the first five pages right now. Also, pre-orders! For anyone wishing to pre-order the book online for $6.00, use this special link to pre-order it with only $1 shipping (So, $7.00 total). USA only. That’s a couple bucks cheaper than my online store will calculate. I’ll start shipping books to you the moment they arrive from the printer.

EVEN MORE GOOD NEWS, BUT ONLY FOR S.P.A.C.E. ATTENDEES: Obviously and unfortunately, pushing back the release of the book means I will not have it available at S.P.A.C.E., but if you still want to buy it from me at the show for $6.00, I will eat the shipping costs to mail it to you a few weeks later. And, if you care, I’ll have most of the original art with me too.
