Or better
So yeah, lots going on, not enough hours in the day!
So recently, we were putting together a lot of the social media for CREATURE ENTERTAINMENT, the comic publishing company I started with John Ulloa and myself. We haven’t been back at publishing because of healthy finances and the fact the world almost ended. Plus, it is constant work; it’s something that you can’t stop for anything once it takes off. We fucked up in that department. As you can see, we keep making comics and have various issues ready to go, including two cases of TOMMY and an Issue of the Gun!
Speaking of which, Recently an issue 2 of THE GUN, with a cover by JEFF DEKAL, went for crazy money on WHATS APP, where it went for $1040
HOLY SHIT.
I never figured our work would go for this, but as people dig and find us little by little, they see the value and our awesomeness. I only say that because I was smart enough to surround myself with talented people who love comics, it should be no surprise that our books have that same energy.
So, striking when the iron is hot, I’m trying to put something together soon for Crowd Funding. Most likely Kickstarter for Books like TOMMY and THE GUN and even the FWACATA anthology. Each thing is like picking up a part-time job! So I need to time my shit perfectly to do it effectively. I will reach out to some friends about this and see if we can get help. Calling the whole thing off the floor is herculean, but once we are there, it’s about keeping aloft.
ANALOGIES ANYONE?!?
Sketch
Sketchbook work.
I have been good about DAILY SKETCHBOOK and posting on Instagram, but I wondered if I did that, it would be too much? Or better all in one post like so?
You tell me.
Also, have some other stuff coming up:
WEBCOMICS
The new episode of ZOMBIE YEARS is up (EVERY WEDNESDAY):
Also, a new episode is up on VIGIL:
Elements in VIGIL are helping me figure out what I’m doing with Meathook in the future. It’s funny how I’m indoctrinated in the idea of continuity in comics but think it should be thrown out the window for a good story. It’s a fantastic place to be.
FWACATA
I finally changed the Digital download to pay what you want because I had to deal with one thing: WHO THE FUCK AM I? As much as I think I’m screaming from the rooftops and getting my books out, I have to accept that many folks don’t know my stuff and maybe won’t shell out cash for my book. SO I have to do what I can to get the workout.
It’s about serving the work.
PRESS
I also did a short interview on Shout Out Miami on the shop, art, being an artist, and this whole rigamarole:
Fun time talking shop, both in making and Selling comics as I do.
So yeah this week it’s about sharpening swords and getting shit done, more than usual. Let’s do this!
