In Progress: 'Haterade'

Happy 2010. Got a new mini-comic in the works. Hopefully it'll be done soon. It's called Haterade. The unifying theme this time is, well, negativity. Lighthearted negativity! I'll keep you posted on the progress. In the mean time here's another illustration above. I'm doing a series of neurobiology pics. Enjoy :)

APE 2009

Yes, I know this was a while ago, but you know what? I'm a bit behind...

-I went to APE (Alternative Press Expo) in San Francisco this October. It was pretty sweet. Sold some comics and met some great artists, writers, retailers, and publishers.

-Selling at your first comicon is a bit harrowing because it's such a steep learning curve. But that's also the great part. I'll definitely go into my next comicon a little savvier.

-...Much savvier than last year. Last year I went to check it out for the first time, but didn't sell. I came up from LA with a backpack of drawings, some money, and a light jacket. It was cold and VERY rainy. As I tried to get back to my buddy's place some of my drawings got soaked. I freaked out. The next day when Jeffrey Brown signed his new book for me, I was convinced he had seen me make an ass out of myself in the rain, given the drawing the signed it with (drip drip). I think I read too much into things.

- Back to APE 2009: The one sad thing that I noticed is that there were less vendors than last year. Goddamm recession. Hopefully things will pick up a bit next year, but it was still a great experience.

-Noticed how popular giant squids, zombies, pirates, dinos, and unicorns are. Ok, well I already knew it, but I guess I didn't know that they were THAT popular.

UPDATE

So, hey...first real post I guess. Right now I'm working on mini-comics and illustrations. My current mini-comics are loosely autobiographical, and are about a group of friends living in suburban NJ post-college. Yeah. Loosely autobiographical. I'm sure you're thinking "good grief". Don't worry. I don't think I take myself too seriously. They're just short little anecdotal pieces. No Garden State screaming into an abyss Zach Braffness, I promise.
