Making Stuff

Out here on the west side of town, things have picked up. Comics, toys and trading cards are being made. Each project is in it's own place and on track to be finished on time. I think doing multiple projects helps me keep excited for each one. If I was working on one thing, I think I would get bored and need to take a break way too often.

- -- The Space Monstas comic is coming along nicely. This is the splash/title page from the second story of the issue. I plan on having this done in mid october and hopefully available at the Tucson Comic Con. I will also be running a Space Monstas Kickstarter once the comic is done. The Kickstarter will include comics, resin figures, trading cards and t-shirts.  

- -- Speaking of resin figures, work on the Vinny Vampire figure has started. Here is the first attempt a his head sculpt. I sanded it down this morning and moved it to his actual body. I think it looks really good. Will be making a mold in the next couple of weeks. This figure will be limited to 13. Besides the original Space Mummy figure all the other Space Monstas figures will be limited to 13. (Oh and there is the Vinny Vampire trading card.

 - -- Speaking of trading cards, just received my wax pack wrappers from Sidekick Labs this week. Tom did an AWESOME job on these. Now I have to get creating the other 6 cards for this set. I have the layouts done. The trading cards should be done in time for the Tucson Comic Con.

- -- Also hard at work on new Cousin Harold material. I'm drawing about 4 strips a week at this point and have a buffer until the end of October at this point. Cousin Harold 11 is 3 pages from being completed and will be published on time this November/December.

- -- Comic of the Week Copra 27! Seriously if you have not tried this series yet, you are missing out. This was the best issue yet (maybe that is because of his rift on the Doom Patrol that is include). Below are the first 3 pages.

Until next time - Take Care,

Funded

The west valley has been kind of HOT! Today is only the first day of spring, but it feels like summer has been here for weeks. Good thing I spend most of my time inside either drawing, working or at the gym.

- -- Probably the biggest new for the week is that my Kickstarter was Fully Funded (and is over). This thing stresses me out every year and I was already stressed this year due to personal issues(compound stess is not fun). Glad to have 19 people aboard for the year. It always makes me happy to pack up my books a couple times a year and send them out to people. Thanx to everyone for their support, from the backers to those who retweeted and shared. I appreciate all that you have done for me.

- -- Most of this week was spent working on strips that will be Cousin Harold 10. I'm a good month a head on strips now. The storyline starts on Monday over at the Cousin Harold site.

- -- On Friday I started working on designs for the Cousin Harold Free Comic Book Day Special. I wrote the story Tuesday morning and it might be the best story I have written (at least it's my new favorite). On Saturday I started drawing this story and should have it finished with in the week (the cover *above* and a page & a half have been completed so far).

Free Comic Book Day is the first Saturday in May every year. If you need to find a location near you check out this store locator. My book will only be available at my Arizona appearances (more info on them coming soon).

- -- The comic of the week is a Hardcover OGN, The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye by Sonny Liew. The story is about a fake comic history of Singapore wrapped around the real political history of Singapore. Amazing Work!

That's all for this week.

Take Care,
