Man, has it been a busy freaking couple of months. NYCC was a total blast, I’ve yet to have a bad time at that show.  I had some seriously gracious hosts in the form of Joe Dunn and his wife Yao. I got to finally meet Anna Puchalksi, we worked on a short story for WORK! anthology. We’re also working together on a new full length OGN tentatively titled THE KIDNAPPED LIGHT. I’m not sure how in love I am with that title… we’ll see.

Anyway! NYCC, yes it was awesome. Met so many great people and had some tremendous meals. The DPO crew, Trevor Mueller, Jorge Vega  and I have a tradition going. We eat Korean BBQ on the Saturday night of the con weekend, we then go get drunk. It’s a good tradition. Here are a couple of shots from Korean BBQ!

The first is everyone at BBQ, I’m the douche in blue shirt. The second is Irv’s fake icecream birthday pile! I think he’s happy….

I also really have to thank Brian Wood for hosting an awesome CBLDF workshop on the art of the pitch. It was very instructional and Brian has gone seriously above and beyond in helping me out with a pitch. If you ever get a chance to take part in one of these, I urge you to go take advantage of it. It’s worth every penny.

OK, to work then.

I’m still on track to have a few short stories in some anthologies this year. Hopefully before the years out I’ll have some good news concerning the OGN I’m working with Anna on. Keeping fingers crossed.

I’ve got some Street Fighter to go play though, so I’m going to say goodbye for now. Hopefully I’ll be posting in a more regular fashion soon.

I’m in the process of getting everything ready for NYCC. I’ve got my business cards, I love the quality but there’s an issue with the design. It should match my banner up at the top of the blog but the ‘Wallace’ is moved slightly down and it throws everything off. The ‘b’ looks like it’s just floating there. Hopefully I can get that fixed, it’s not a huge deal, but it bugs the shit out of me.

Putting together my ashcan tomorrow and then getting that printed up at kinkos or upsstore. The ashcan this year will contain ‘Death Rattle’ and ‘Komori’ two shorts that will be published this year. Both are by really great artists that I’m happy to have worked with, and who I intend to work with again very shortly! If you want one for some reason, drop me a line.

On the writing front I finished my OGN UNCLE CHARLIE, it’s 68 pages and I think it turned out really well. I’m in the middle of two other projects, NANOMANCER and THE KIDNAPPED LIGHT. Nano is a 4 issue series of high fantasy cyberpunk and Kidnapped is the reboot of the Japanese fairytale OGN I had mentioned earlier. I’m really happy with both of them so far. More news to follow on both of those projects.

What else… Oh if you want to meet up at NYCC just drop me a line here or twitter or somewhere. I’ve got a fairly active weekend with lots of people that I’m supposed to meet up with so far, the more the merrier though! Alright, that’s it.

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve updated and I hate to see such a stale blog.

So, what am I doing now? Well I’m right in the middle of scripting an OGN called UNCLE CHARLIE. It’s a sort of true story about mistaken identity, dealing with death, and the impact one person can have on another. It’s coming along really well, should hopefully be done with it in the next week or so.

After that I’m going to work on another story I’ve been throwing around. A real cyberpunk, shadowrun esque update of a classic fairytale. Really looking forward to digging my teeth into that one!

As to mini-a-month. I want to apologize about that but I just can’t see focusing time on that when I have gigs that are getting published. As excited as I was about that project at first, it’s just not feasible. Something I really should have investigated initially. I do still plan on a couple of other minicomics but just not anything on that grand a scale.

Speaking of published. Just a couple of days ago I saw the final pages for KOMORI, the short that will be included in the WORK! anthology. It looks stellar and you should defiantly check out it’s artist A.D. Puchalski! I hope to work with her on a future project as well.

I’ve also been getting pages in on another submission for 803Studios Sequential Suicide. It looks stellar and the artist, Joe Nosochu, is really something else. I think he’ll definitely have a future in the industry.

Alright, that’s enough for now I think. I’ll see you later!

Oh! I’ll be in NY for Comic Con in February. Hit me up for a drink or a chat!
