06.09.2010 @ 5:36 pm - Live Interview Tonight!

Moonhawk Studios Presents will be interviewing me live on their podcast at 10pm EST / 7pm PST tonight.  Come on out and join us on the live chat, and I’ll do my best to answer your questions!

See you there!

Update: While the interview went well, alas the “live” part of it succumbed to technical difficulties. I’m just waiting on the hosts to finish the edit, but I’ll post a link as soon as it goes live.

Added a long-deserving comic to links sidebar this morning — Charles S. Snow’s Sordid City Blues, a self-styled “indie rock theological soap opera”. it’s got sex, rock, and a crisis of faith, and it’s an excellent read.

I got turned on to it after meeting Charles through the Boston Comics Roundtable, and he’s consistently impressed me with his skillful character writing and simple, engaging art style.

Check it out. You won’t be sorry.

I created a Paradigm Shift page on Facebook.

Come be a fan!

05.27.2010 @ 8:52 am - Site upgrade and slight format change

As you can see, in addition the announcement of Part Four: Flight, I made a couple of tweaks to the website. Most notably, I’ve turned this home page over to PS exclusively, so you can see the latest update here, and moved the Daily Artwork feed over to dynamanga.net, though you can still see a preview over on the sidebar, under the ads.

You’ll also find a few other cosmetic improvements scattered around the site. Take a step back into the archive and see you what you find.

Okay, back to drawing for me. I got a comic to launch next week!

05.24.2010 @ 5:00 pm - Good times in Maine!

Got back last night after a fantastic trip to Portland. The Maine Comics Arts Festival was a blast! I had so much fun, I didn’t even think to tweet. Lots of great creators came out to the show, and I found myself coming home with almost as many books as I brought – albeit from my fellow cartoonists.

The Boston Comics Roundtable was there in full force, dominating about six full tables on one end of the con hall. Some of the highlights included the brand-spanking new science fiction anthology collection, OUTBOUND #2, Dan Mazur’s heartbreaking “How It Crumbles” (complete with free cookie with purchase), Dave Kender’s Ragbox #1, and much, much more. Sharing a table was Charles S. Snow’s excellent Sordid City Blues and Cathy Leamy’s always hilarious “Geraniums and Bacon,” and the fabulous Shelli Paroline and Braden Lamb had their impressive talents on full display.

Also in attendance were the folks from the Center for Cartoon Studies, with complete compliment of students, graduates, and professors, and picked up a giant pile of entertaining minicomics as a result. I had the good fortune to catch up with the legendary Cat Garza who I’ve known since the early ModernTales days, and finally picked up a copy of his Ignatz-winning Year of the Rat. And last, but certainly not least were Everett and Susan Soares, in full Sky Pirate regalia and the Free Lunch Comics crew, and I made sure to come away with the new Sky Pirates of Valendor trade.

Of course, the best part of the show was not the excellent day behind the table with a hall full of amazing creators, but the chance to go out and have dinner and drinks with them! After a trip on a ferry to the Peak’s Island Inn, and couple of rounds of free beer, we descended upon the Novre Res Bier Cafe, where we were confronted with a staggeringly giant 10-page beer menu. Suffice to say it was amazing. If you ever find yourself with the option of trying some of Dogfish Head’s Theobroma brew, do yourself a favor and try it. You won’t be sorry.

Thanks to everyone who came to show and visited us, and extra special thanks to Rick of Casablanca Comics for running such a great show!
