more pictures

more pictures from the Improbables project. More on what it is when it gets close enough that I can tell it is going to happen.

Thanks to the help of 10 friends last weekend i am closer to that being a reality. Thank you all, and i am glad you had so much fun.

Indyplanet

I got a email from a reader this morning who tried to follow the link on the website to buy more issues of Intermezzo (always a good thing) but couldn't because of a problem. If you are having the same problem (and I'm sure millions of you are) go to

www.indyplanet.com then use their quick search option type in Intermezzo and all five issues pop up. Hopefully the link will be fixed soon and the mad rush can continue unabatted.

Also look me up on Facebook, where i am one of the last seven people on the planet to get a facebook page (just in time for everyone to decide its not cool anymore and stop using it). Just look for Brian Wingrove (duh)

A little discouraged

I went to the Charlotte Comicon today. I've been to that show three or four times now. Nice people run it, and it's a good show. Toaday went about like they all have, good crowds for a lot of the show and a little sparce here and there. But for reasons i don't know, this show was... in the terms of... ok, fine, here it is.

I don't usually discuss the specifics or money (I find it in bad taste), but I sold almost nothing at this show. There, i said it. It's a very discouraging feeling to sit at a table for that long and to get so few takers. And its not about the money, its about finding new readers. And after a day like today, I wonder if I will ever find them.

I also usually try to stay positive on this blog, but in the interest of being honest i decided to write what i was feeling today. I'm not planning on dwelling on it, but there it is.

I hope to move on to things that will raise my spirits. Baltimore Comicon is coming up at the end of August. At least this way, I don't have my hopes up too high. Does that count as a positive?

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.
