Renee and I will be doing some sweet live art at Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle tomorrow/later today (Sunday). She’ll be water coloring and I’ll be inking this coming Thursday’s page. We’ll be at the tables by Juicy Cafe near room 201 on the second floor starting at noonish and going for a couple hours. If you’re there, stop by and say hi to us. JD Smith of JDmakescomics.com will be there, too, doing stuff for his comic San Hannibal.
You can keep in contact with us via Twitter, Renee will be checking.
After an unannounced mid-story vacation (sorry about that guys, I had some professional work come up and I didn’t yet have a return date for pages to give you, but now I do!), Alpha Flag will be back Thursday, April 5th, 2012. So, one week from today.
Renee and I are going to be at Emerald City Comic Con this weekend, too. Not at a booth, just walking around. If I can find a suitable place to do it, I’m going to ink the next page (Delta 07) there over the course of 3 or 4 hours on Friday or Sunday. Renee’ll tweet about it if it happens. Look for the rest tables if you’re going, and stop by and say hi.
The Delta chapter is just about to get interesting. I am excited to show it to you. Also, thanks for reading!
Like the title says, Happy Valentine’s Day!
And for good measure, here’s last year’s:
Hug your closest wild animal for us.
Aww yeah. I just set this up the other day. This B-Sides site is going to be where I put the short comics I do (generally in collaboration with my super talented friends) on the side while working on Alpha Flag. I threw True Hi-School Romance (by both Ray Bruweldeheide and me) up there to test it out, so if you haven’t already read that for some reason, you might as well, now. But that’s beside the point!
The main point is SOIL! It’s a short I wrote, drew, and partially colored (with Renee flatting and coloring the second half, Ray coloring bits and the first page, and me filling in the gaps.) for the NOBODIES, Volume 1 anthology published by DRAWMORE, INC. The book is gorgeous, and the stories are excellent. It’s got a cool western (that isn’t about Vane Black and John Henry Hunter) by Erin Mehlos, too.
So what’s the deal? A new SOIL page every Monday–page 3 going up this coming Monday. Giving you guys a couple to start with. That’s it really. Please read it and comment if you’d like. I really appreciate it! If you want to get a physical copy of the book, I’ve included a link to the DRAWMORE, INC. store. All proceeds go to funding NOBODIES, Volume 2, which you can be a part of if you have a really cool comic story you want to tell.
SOIL is an 8-page science fiction short about a man struggling to save his generational colonyship from falling apart after drifting through space for hundreds of years, and the glib plant creature that represents salvation for the thousands of people under his care.
