News: 5/27/12

Been a loooong while since I’ve posted an update about Burly Press and the goings on… Apologies for that. Been a very strange and stressful year since the last convention here in ABQ. It involved many personal, professional, mental, physical, and family issues and speed bumps to overcome. Instead of harping on that lemme just say it was an adventure to say the least!

I’ve been working on Bludgeon #1 as fast and furiously as I can muster (and still have 3 jobs on top of it). And I’m happy to say it will be completed soon! Unfortunately not in time for the ABQ Comic Expo. So in order to have something new prepared I am publishing a FREE b/w mini ashcan preview. It will have a few pageS from Bludgeon #1 as well as a mini poster/pinup of Blugdeony goodness! This will be an ACE exclusive but if I have any left I’ll include them in future orders til they are gone.

If you’re coming to ACE this year remember to stop by table E19 and pick one up, say hi to myself and my buddy/collaborator Greg Freeland and buy our stuffs! :) I’ll have the current lineup of Burly Press stuff, and Greg is gonna have an awesome cryptid coloring book and some shirts to sell on top of his usual awesome art.

See ya there!

I want this framed! :D too bad it’s posted sans credit so I can’t look up the artist :( I hate that. EDIT: the original poster contacted me and said she posted credit and a link where to buy the print. YAY! Now I have to sift thru 4700 notes to find original post. *sigh* so the moral is… Don’t delete the original post’s information when you reblog, folks.

Denis Medri returns to take a look at the rogues of Gotham and more of Batman’s supporting. Catwoman, Joker, Poison Ivy and Bane join Batgirl, James Gordon and Alfred in round out this amazing collection of Rockabilly gothamites. It’s interesting to note that reimagining Catwoman for the 1950s brings her costume full circle, close to her original suit from the 1940s. 

Check out this awesome rockabilly reimagining of Batman! (of course my favorite is Bane)

GLADSTONE'S SCHOOL FOR WORLD CONQUERORS: The A to B Manifesto. The creator as retailer. (Spread it)

markandrewsmith:

We stand on the brink of a new Golden Age for comic books. Never before has there been such a diverse range of material and stories to choose from.

There is truly a comic book for every reader under the sun. In the next few years creator owned comics are going to spill into the mainstream of…

Excellent advice for indie creators.

gregfreeland: And here’s the final of my Cybermen commission. Ink and brush 12x17. I went for the non-Cybus branded look on the chest plate and stuck with the more modern rendition of the Cybers. I have some other sketches of the older incarnations so I might do some sort of evolutionary illustration at some point. Oh, and it’s my first Doctor Who related commission/fan art. I seriously need to do more of these! Cybermen… By my friend, story collaborator, and editor Greg Freeland.

Got some spare time? Make a comic!

Download the sample printable comic right here!

Reasons for doing this?

1: My followers can finally have a printed comic by me.

2: It seemed like a fun activity to do, specially with young kids.

3: It might be cool if interweb folks shared tiny little mini comics with each other. And a whole bunch of people can print each other’s comics and maybe we could collect ones by other artists. So… ya know. Why not?

EDIT: AHH! Before I forget, I should mention that this mini comic format was created by the folks at http://www.pocketmod.com/ I came by their technique while listening to Fear the Boot, a roleplaying game podcast as they were interviewing Stuart Robertson an indie table top rpg designer.

If you’d like, support those folks cause they helped me discover this neat design.

EDIT2: Added tags. Dag nabbit.

Awesome little instruction comic on how to publish a little 8 page zine or sample comic :) very clever!
