Preview Comic!

I spent the whole weekend at Stumptown Comics Fest, just soaking up the scene and reinforcing relationships. Lots of cool people this year with lots of cool stuff, and although I didn't register in time to get a table I actually got to bring along two comics -- the 24-hour Dracula comic which you can read here in my previous post, and also a preview version of the comic I'm working on with Jacob Mercy and Steve Wilber. This is basically just a snapshot of our current draft, and all three stories will change significantly before we go to press. And of course, we expect the finished comic to be somewhere between double and triple the length.

The project has its own website, so rather than clutter up my blog homepage even more I'll take this opportunity to link you there!

24-hour comic attempt #3

Well third try's a charm... sort of. I did complete 24 pages this time, after invoking the so-called "Eastman Variant" and taking more than 24 hours to finish. I think I actually had an advantage on my first attempt since I hadn't been working on anything polished for a long time beforehand so I wasn't in the habit of making everything look good. Nonetheless, it's a thrill to have finished a full-length story, this being the longest single comic I've ever produced and only the second that I've done on my own and actually seen through to print. I did a run of 30, gave 3 to my parents, and plan to lose another 7 to my coworkers today. The other 20 will be available for $2.00 per copy at tomorrow's Stumptown Comics Fest -- assuming you can find me walking around, since I procrastinated too long to get a table.
