TOP 10 of S.P.A.C.E weekend

After a three year break it felt great to be back doing cons again! Got some new shit to read, got some new friends, and I'll be back again next year so see you then. And thanks again to anyone who stopped by the table and picked up some stuff-- hope you dig it. Here's the top 10 from my weekend in Columbus.

1 - Tailgating in the hotel parking lot, in the rain, by myself, the night before.

2 - New stuff from Kurt Dinse from PUNGENT BASEMENT ART

3 - Meeting Ryan from DELAY and Reagan who gave me directions to the THE 15 house...Great show. Caught five of the bands...Nate Powell's band UNIVERSE, that country band who's name I forget, and SONOROUS GALE killed it!

4 - Meeting Jim Rugg

5 - USED KIDS RECORDS (picked up Nine Nine Nine the Biggest Prize in Sport, Fastbacks New Mansions in Sound, Jackson 5 Maybe Tomorrow, The Photos s/t, Girlschool Screaming Blue Murder, Parasites/Beatnik Termites split 45, The Pop Shakeaway 45, Black and Whites 45, and a couple Thangs 45s)

6 - Dinner at LA BAMBA

8 - Pittsburgh stuff: ANDROMEDA #1 from Little Tired Press and the monthly GRIXLY

9 - Not paying for a hotel/sleeping in the LALALAA

10 - Getting two pages and one flier penciled & outlined. Progress! Love it.

(bonus 11 - Listening to Springsteen all the way from Lafayette to MKE.)

S.P.A.C.E.

Heading to Columbus, OH this weekend for S.P.A.C.E. (Small Press & Alternative Comics Expo) and along with the regular comics, prints, art, and crap, I'll be busting out THESE:













Double-sided beer coozies printed by the fine folks over at STENCILITIS. 4$ each, 5$ with shipping. And don't forget to check out the FREE downloadable S.P.A.C.E. 2010 anthology.


Also, here's another one on the back of a Hamm's box:

420 MAAAAAAAN

420, in case you didn't know, was Bob Marley's favorite number-- OUT OF ALL OF THEM. So it's on this day that all the pot-heads out there celebrate his music, message, and College-dorm-room-douchebaggery!

Here's another LOST inspired piece drawn on the back of another Hamm's box.

reposted from CCC's blog:

Friday, April 16 Reggie's is hosting what I'm sure will be a night of insanity. There will be Booze, Broads (Superhero-themed Burlesque Show) & Bands... Comics, Original and (possibly) Live Art for sale. This event kicks off at 8pm. http://www.recordbreakers.net/

Sat & Sun, April 17-18 Reggie's will be hosting PopCult and the 'OhNo' crew. http://www.facebook.com/pages/PopCult/304493133517

MOTIONARY COMICS this Friday

Here's the deal:

Between 5pm and midnight, a team of roughly 25 artists will produce a mural-sized comic in real time based on improvisation and collaboration at Moct Bar, 240 E. Pittsburgh.

Choreographer Liz Johnson (YOUR MOTHER DANCES) creates a silhouette-driven story using the bodies of Richard Newman, Liza Bielby, and Brian Patrick Moore (THE HINTERLANDS Performance Ensemble), Jonathan West (SUNSET PLAYHOUSE managing director) and his daughter Dorothea, and Jason Waszak (sometime YOUNGBLOOD collaborator).

A team of colorists will create the silhouettes against a colored background, including Carri Dahl (SKYLIGHT OPERA THEATER charge artist), Andrea Toussaint (FIRST STAGE, FIRESIDE), and freelance designer Nathan Stuber (currently CHAMBER, AMERICAN PLAYERS THEATER).

Illustrators and colorists will work in alternating passes to complete the visual work. Illustrators include Tea Krulos (RIVERWEST CURRENTS), Dan Hernandez (DREADFUL DAYS), Christopher MacDonald (CHILDE ROLAND at Hot Pop), Michael Cothroll (RIVERWEST CURRENTS), Matt Chicorel (NIGHTLIGHT COMICS), and David Beyer, Jr. (TOILET RICE).

Jackie Steffen-Bublitz (LOVESICK ROBOT) wraps up the project by adding text in the final pass.

Documentarians Michelle Sherkow, Lauren Burke, and Jay Bauman (RED LETTER MEDIA) will be on hand to record the event with still and video photography.

Produced by BAD SOVIET HABITS.

ORIGINS part 8 of 9

I meant to post this earlier, but I was busy hanging out with Jesus (and some Magical Elves, and a Mermaid, and a Talking Lion, and Goro from Mortal Kombat)...

So here's the second-to-last NLC ORIGINS chapter, which focuses on Bernadette Watts-- a character who's been mentioned a few times, but who hasn't really made it into any actual stories yet. But the 'team' is forming, and now they got a place to hang and get drunk together-- I mean fight crime or something?...

I really hate the way all these pages look on the computer, so if you take the time to read it here-- I think yer awesome. Either way they're there. And fuck it-- either way I think yer awesome. Not too bad!

Up next: THE CAT-MAN-DO!!!

After that: BUZZPOP #4

After that: Top Secret plans, but plans nonetheless.

Read NLC ORIGINS part 8 of 9: BERNADETTE WATTS HERE!
