Comic here there, everywhere!

Hey y'all. So, turns out I don't think I'll have time to get to the New Masada story line in the next few months. Instead, I really want to focus on getting Culver out, which I am super pumped for. Matt sent me the first 20 pages of script this past week, and I can't wait to get it going! The story's really dynamic, and will be put into a number of trade paperback sized comics and then collected in a graphic novel. I just hope the quality of the drawings match that of the script :)


Also, Magic Bullet 4 will be out next week, so keep posted if you're in the DMV! If not, shoot me an email and I'll see if I can send you a copy of the paper. I have a page in it I'm feeling good about, and here's a preview:

I also now have two shows lined up for the spring: the Feminist Zinefest in Brooklyn NY on Feb. 24. Come check it out; it is bound to be a gay old time! I'll also be at the Scranton Zinefest in PA on June 9.

2011 in review

Me at SPX

So 2011 was an awesome year in comics for me! I went to three new shows-- SPACE, Baltimore Comicon, and the DC Zinefest--and drew two new issues of Gay Kid and of Suggestion Box. I also spoke at the Radical Book Pavilion at the Baltimore Book Fest, which was a lot of fun. In the future I'm going to try and hit up more zinefests; the atmosphere is really laid back and friendly, there's a lot of alternative and queer stuff out there, and it's a different market than comic book people. I doubt I'll go to SPACE again, as it was a lot of travel for not a big show. I'm glad I went to the Bmore Comicon, but don't feel any huge need to go back; it wasn't a great place for a real small-press, indie cartoonist. I wanted to go to PIX again, but didn't have that weekend free. 2012, though, I want to go back!

Goodbye!

My weekly at TheNewGay, Office Bitch, stopped right before the site shut down. I was getting a little tired of the other work coming out of the site and they were in a death-spiral anyways, so I still feel like that was the right decision to make. Working on the 30 Characters in 30 Days challenge was a great inspiration to me, and I'm going to start a weekly comic based off of the New Masada/Rebel States characters. If it seems like I've been quiet on the blog front for a while, some of that is due to the brainstorming going into this comic. I don't want to just jump into it willy-nilly, and I've never done any fiction writing before, so it may be that I'm being especially cautious about it. Who knows. But stay tuned; that comic should be up and running come February!

Also, in February, I'll have an entry in the next issue of Magic Bullet (wow, check out this super out of date site!), the free comic newspaper put out by the DC Conspiracy. I've never done anything with them before, and am looking forward to this opportunity to get my work out there!

So, that about does it. It was a super year, and I hope 2012 is even better! Does anyone have any advice for shows I should hit up?
