So turns out I’m a bloody liar! Posts were anything but consistent; in fact they were non-existent. Oh well.

So the con went great, met a few editors and hopefully got my name in their brains. Handed out a lot of business cards and minis as well.

Saturday night was a blast, Trevor Mueller, Phil Chan, Irv Fabor, DJ Coffman, Jorge Vega, Dominic Vivona, Phil’s cousins, David Boozer, and I went to Korean BBQ down past Times Square and ate a crazy amount of charred flesh. Then we went down to Irv’s favorite watering hole, Whiskey River, to drink the night away and bullshit about virtually everything.

I’m sad as fuck I can’t get to Philly this weekend to hang out with them some more, oh well I’ll see everyone again in June at WizWorld Chicago.

Anyway I’ve got some more writing to do and some emails to send so I’ll post up a little more on NY some point in the near future.

Well I’m sitting in Dallas International waiting for my connection to NY. Another hour and I’ll be boarding! After that 3ish hours in the air and we’re in NY. Tonight will be hanging out with the DP crew and getting settled at the hostel. Tomorrow we should be bumming around NY, Boozer hasn’t been so we’ll go to a few of the ‘touristy’ spots before the Con opens to attendees at 3pm.

I’ve got business cards and a sample minicomic that has 8 pages from Right Way and 4 pages from The Devil and Ted. Hopefully this will be a good conversation starter with some publishers and garner me a little bit of name recognition for when I start submitting proposals. Who knows, maybe I’ll even land a gig this week! OK, posts will be fairly consistent through the weekend so check back for more on our voyage!

Updates, updates updates…

And ellipses… lots of them…

Anyway just a heads ups, the first 12 pages of The Right Way Wrong are now lettered and available on TheRightWayWrong.com. Have a look, Anna did an absolutely wonderful job with this book!

Also my newest project A Dead Wonder (website coming soon) just picked up an artist! Lukasz is amazing and I can’t wait to see what he turns out on what I think is a really fun script. Check his stuff out over here http://xide.digart.pl/digarty/

Also, I’ll be at NYCC and Chicago this year! I’ll be wondering the floor flashing my writing portfolio to anyone who’ll look. I’m even going to have business cards, that’s right folks I am ‘high class’. Snip Snap.

Speaking of ‘Snip Snap’ I got season 1 of Frisky Dingo.. it’s totally awesome.. just wish they’d put some extras on it.

Well after a lot of searching and false starts, Misspent Youth is finally getting off the ground! This is a collaboration I’m doing with a friend, David Boozer. You can consider it survival horror I suppose. It centers around the lives of 6 kids, all under the age of 13, and their fight for survival in a world where the adults have all gone mad.

I’m really happy with the artist we picked up and I think this one has some legs. Though, I think all my projects that I push to get to this stage have legs :D.

On Right Way Wrong news, we’ve only 2 pages left on issue 1. Anna has finished her part of the cover and it’s been shipped off to Bruno (he did the back cover on Madman #6, you should check it out!) who will be putting on some final touches. I’m finishing issue 2 and will have that out to Anna fairly soon.

Since this was my first real project I’m going to go ahead and put the money in to finish all three issues. I like the idea of having something I can hand to people to show some of my abilities and I also I’m rather sentimental about this story and want it to be complete.

I’ll be at NY Comiccon this year pimping some of my work, no table I’ll just be milling about. It’s likely though you could find me hanging out at the DigitalPimpOnline booth in artist alley. These guys are the best, read their webcomics!

Oh also Sketch and I have DnT on an extended hiatus… it’s not dead yet! We have some stuff planned for those characters and hope to be doing some new stuff with them soon.

OK that gets us up to date I think.. oh as should be expected I have about 3 other scripts I’ve finished that I’m going to start shopping artists on. If anyone out there’s interested feel free to drop me a line. I’ve got some cyberpunk, religious, and a superhero comedy in the works as well as a few others that are in their infancy.

Here’s a preview of the cover of Misspent Youth #1!
