2nd:  I finished my first animated comic,and because all these GIFS are slowing the site down: you can see that over here:

THE OCTOBER MOSQUITO

(just a frame from, but not the actual animated comic)

There’s a bunch of many new things over there, from animated GIFs to sketches for upcoming projects, worth a minute of your time, I am sure.

3rd:  A recent illustration for an album cover worked out well, this is the raw art for it, graphic designer Jason Chiusano is gonna put it all together for the final.

Thats kind of an overstatement.  But, enjoy nonetheless:

I animated this in Flash and Joe Bennett put it all together in AE, made in house for JW2.

SECRET PRISON got fully funded!  Thats pretty great, now all those comics will see the light of day.  Somebody donated for a 2010, so once Ian gets your name to me, I will send that to you.  Until then, a sample from my entry:

SPACE COP is starting to come together in my mind, and Im considering creating a blog/site to act as forum for an ongoing SPACE COP webcomic.  This announcement will either cause me to never work on this again, or keep me honest and make sure it actually happens.

Saw Inception this weekend.  During the previews the greatest joy for the audience wound up being PIRANNAHH 3D, which looks as incredible as SNAKES ON A PLANE did.  BUT, I need to clarify something.  Theres a shot in the trailer that looks shockingly similar to a panel I had ALREADY drawn.  Not saying PIRRANNAH 3D stole my drawing, because that would involve an incredibly complicated paranoid conspiracy plot/theory….But I am putting it out there, on record, that my drawing came without any advance knowledge or foresight of PIRRANNAH 3D.  Incidently the panel comes from the someday to be completed MONGOLOID REVENGE.

I also am 95 percent finished with a 5 page comic for the upcoming Rabid Rabbit, and a little taste of that is represented by this:

CMON!!!!!!! ITS GONNA BE GREAT!!!!!!!

OH, ALSO P.S.  Im offering 2010 at 10 dollars a book on the fundraiser site as well…And thats a real bargain for all of you out of NEW YORK consumers who cant get to the stores 2010 is sitting in.  Think about it……

Please throw a few coins at this project so as to get it off the ground.  There’s even more attractive offers than just giving your money away.  You could but a drawing off of me, or Mark, and the proceeds would got towards making SECRET PRISON.  You could even buy the original art for the AD, should that be your hearts desire.

So thats pretty exciting, Its gonna be cool to grow plants out of my own drawings!

2010, Mongoloid Diner and SHAMAN THUNDER are available for sale at DESERT ISLAND and FORBIDDEN PLANET

This year I put together a 48 page book, full color called 2010.

Its composed of several short stories, including Real Problems and SPACE, but this time those particulars are in color.  Im also gonna have my first ZINE on the table, MONGOLOID DINER.

This guy is composed of the first 7 OCT MOSQ comics, Number One is in the Comics section HERE.  There’s also an additional story, COP DRAMA which is in the new SUPERTALK, but for the MONGOLOID DINER release the layout has been significantly changed.

Last but not least William Cardini will be bringing issues of SHAMAN THUNDER hot off the presses from AUSTIN TEXAS!

Mr. Cardini breaks down what this comic is all about:

“The comic is 12 pages of sequential art plus a yellow cardstock cover and blue endpapers, all xeroxed. Josh and I developed the plot together, broke it down it to a page-by-page outline, and then drew alternating pages. Then we decided to rearrange the first four pages so that it’s two of my pages and then two of his, because we like to be confusing.

If you want a copy try to swing by the Supertalk table at MoCCA or send me a message/leave me a comment on this here blog. We’re selling them for $2 and will have them available at stores at some point, I’ll let y’all know.”

In other news, In an effort to modernize for the future, some comics and drawings are coming down, never to return, and new ones will be replacing them, so check back after MOCCA for NEW PICTURES!
