ISSUE #6

I have tried to stay on schedule for number 6. As always other things come up, but overall I have not been doing badly with it. i now have the pencils complete and am working on the cover.

I've been doing some drawings for another Intermezzo related project, here are a couple of examples. I thought they turned out pretty cool.

Charlotte Comicon

I am getting ready to take off for another Charlotte Comicon. I have done a few of these shows in the past year, it's a nice time. I've been meeting some interesting people and hopefully getting some readers for Intermezzo.

If you read this and see me at the show, walk up to my table and say
"The eagle lands at sunrise" and get a prize.

Heroescon Pics!

I just got a new photo gallery added with pictures of heroescon. Go to my flickr page and check them out. Here are a few of the people I met.

That show marked one year of me doing conventions. It really seems like a lot longer sometimes and just like yesterday other times.

You know, even though its not easy to self publish and put my work out there like that, I am very glad I did. Intermezzo is finally free from my imagination and through issue #5. Being in Charlotte again really made me appreciate being able to fulfil a lifelong dream. The biggest part of that is meeting people who have read Intermezzo and came back to pick up the newer issues.

Updates

The ever gracious Sarlyn at Redvyproductions has made some updates to the site. I cannot express my gratitude for the work she does.

I have also begun joining webrings to get bear Butt Comics a little more exposure. If that is how you found me, please drop me a line and let me know its working.

As always i am trying to come up with ways to get Bear Butt Comics and Intermezzo in front of people and give them a chace to see if they like it or not. That is really the biggest challenge of this self publishing thing is just getting it out there. Cause that whole "build it and they will come" shtick is a load of %#@$!

Heroescon is out of the way. I will be in Charlotte on Aug 1st and The Baltimore comicon on Aug 28th and 29th.

Plugging away...

I am currently working on
a)issue #6,
b)stories for my next project "Dyslexic Cosmic" as well as finding artists,
and c) yet another so far unnamed project (I don't want to get ahead of myself and i will wait to make an actual announcement later- suffice it to say that it makes my little geek heart flutter).

I have a few conventions planned; I'll be back in Charlotte for the next Charlotte Comicon on Aug 1st, then I will be going to Baltimore Comicon on Aug 28th and 29th.

I really need to take the time and come up with ways to advertise. I've met a lot of people doing cons, but I need to broaden my horizons. I will try to find ways to draw attention to myself and my comics that does not involve getting arrested (or me wearing spandex, no one needs to see that)

New Pictures!

I've just added some pictures to my Flickr page on Fanaticon. Asheville was a great trip and Fanaticon was a great convention.

One of the best things about our trip to Asheville was the fact that my wife Wendy went with me. It was the first con we went to together and it was wonderful. While I was at the table all day, she went around taking pictures. But, you may be able to see her artistic difference if you look closely.

HereoesCon

Went to Heroescon this weekend. Had a great time, sold some stuff, met some nice people, the usual. Had several people who remembered me from last year, which was really cool.

I am working on a side project to add to the Bear Butt Line. I am looking for some artists to help out with that. I hope that someone who is looking for a chance to get in print and expand their portfolio will like to get involved with this project. If you fit the bill, drop me an e-mail and we'll go into the details. Talked to a couple people about it in Charlotte, some possibilities.
