Lovely, isn't it?

For this project, I'm trying to create a narrative that operates on a few levels. Yes, it will be a humorous self-contained comic on topical issues. Yes, it will also be an ongoing story about a "poor little rich girl" searching for love and trying to start her band. And it's an opportunity to editorial...

Next Thursday, November 19th, Quick (Dallas-Fort Worth area's free weekly entertainment newspaper) will debut a full page, full color, comic series written by me and illustrated by Chad Thomas. It's titled: WE'VE NEVER MET. It's the story of Liz, a girl who grew up in the secure bubble of Dallas wealth and privilege -- and after graduating, moved to a studio loft in Exposition Park to pursue a career as a musician, working two part-time jobs.

It's a stor...

We had a great conversation that probably could've gone another hour. Oh well, some other time.


Right now, I'm listening to Robert Gomez's BRAND NEW TOWNS. (Check him out on iTunes. I love his music.) Staying up, and I'm working on a new project for Quick, a collaboration with Chad Thomas.

More details in the next few days.

I have approximately 8 minutes left on our Kickstarter pledge drive. That's 8 minutes left to pre-order ONE NIGHT STAND. I'm visiting some print shops today to get estimates and find the best deal possible. I'm also working on my class for Saturday's ArtLoveMagic workshop. And last night, I met with Geoff Johnston and the editor of DFW's Quick to discuss a project. (Announcement coming soon.)

Comic book retailers in North America have a long committed relationship with Diamond Distributors. They're a cute couple. However, since Diamond will not be shipping any new comics during the week of December 30th, David Hopkins is offering a ONE NIGHT STAND. No strings attached.

Written by David Hopkins, ONE NIGHT STAND is a series of one-page vignettes, a collaboration with 32 artists -- including Ryan Du...

When we started, I had to cut the comic down to 32 pages, which means some artists weren't able to participate, because of promises I made first to other artists. It happens, but I felt terrible having to cut anyone. Aaron's pin-up art is greatly appreciated. Online promotional exclusive?


Right now, I'm working on a press release for ONE NIGHT STAND and an email to gain the support of more retailers. The scripts are al...
