thought I'd deliver an update as to my 2012 workload and predictions now that we are almost a month in. So here are a list of projects and updates on them:
CHEESECAKE PINUP BOOK - Goes to the printer finally this weekend. The art and layout is completely done, except for the cover. Which would take an hour or so to build the template to print it. But will be done this weekend and out by February as promised.
ANNA POCALYPSE 2: Going fine. I am about 1/2 way done with the art. Been slow going while I work on paid projects but I managed to do two new pages last week. I'll probably get to 2-3 more this weekend. Unfortunately these sort of things take a back seat to paid work, which is understandable. But rest assured it will all be done later this year and will come out. Its definitely more gory and violent than the first with a lot of surprises in it. This is a book that you will be talking about, thats for sure!
WEBCOMIC: As promised it will launch this year. I am almost far enough ahead to go ahead and launch it but I want to ensure it will have the right layout and feel before I proceed. Trust me, it will be worth the wait. And it is ADULT in nature. and will be 100% FREE. some place to spend your lunch hour, I can promise you that.
WARFISH: The all ages book that my wife came up with the idea for. well, I had hoped to rock on it some time this year, but the wife has to sit down and write the story with some guidance from me. She hasn't done that yet. (Writers, I tell ya!) So I think this will be pushed back a bit. The art will be simpler in form than anything I have done before, and likely will be a dialog free book. So it will be easy to slap together. Its supposed to be a stand alone comic book size or so. 22 pages or the like. Its just a matter of her finishing the idea. I'm passing the blame to her! And she's busy working and creating life in her belly. So there. :)
LINGERIE PARTY MASSACRE: A one shot comic I promised last year but never got to finish. I am hoping to work on this later in the year and get it out early 2013 or around Halloween if I hit a streak of solid work time to spare.
PLEASANT LIFE SEQUEL: Yes, I announced the Pleasant Life sequel earlier this month. The script idea and plot outline is written down, but no full script yet. I have sort of developed this short form script writing process where I do an outline with some dialog and avoid having to do a full script like I did in the early days. Saves time. But the concept it complete and I will start actual artwork on it once Anna 2 is done. 2013 is the release for that I think. Totally. It will be an 80-100 page GN again. I will also likely draw it on smaller paper to make the process go faster and cheaper. And, IT WILL BE IN COLOR! So there is that.
EXPENDABLES #4: Brett has promised me to send the script to #4 to me soon and I have "all year" to work on it. Likely, I will do stuff on it off and on and complete it as I can. Maybe late summer for completion. Again, depending.
SKETCH CARDS!!! -- AVENGERS set is done. I have about 35 cards left to do on the Marvel Beginnings 2 set and those will likely be done by the 30th of January, well before the deadline! And then I am supposed to get blanks for a NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD card set. I got notice that they will go out in the mail soon. so when those show up, I'll do those. I am ahead of schedule on these and its great!
MISC. PROJECTS: I am almost finished with illustrations for a short story book from a retired Police Officer about calls he went on. It has been a lot of fun to do! I should be complete with the illustrations and the cover hopefully by this weekend. Only ten to go! I was in talks to do illustrations for a children's book possibly, but I am working out the deal and details with the writer. Lastly, I am working on a couple written books that I might shop to publishers or go through Ibooks and publish myself. One involves stories from my time in the adult store industry. another is a collection of short stories. We shall see on these.
PODCASTS: Going strong. I will do another IN THE TRENCHES likely next week when I am free. Also I am overdue for a new "Drunken DVD Commentary." We'll see what we can do next week. Still plenty of Bigfanboy and Sabo & Son podcast appearances to keep you hearing my voice. All through itunes and talkshoe.com.
CONVENTIONS: I will be on the MSU Lansing, MI campus for COMICS FORUM on Feb 4th. 11-5pm. I will have GNs, art and prints to sell. Come see me! Details HERE.
May 18-20th I am planning on the MOTOR CITY COMIC CON.
in June there is HEROES CON in Charlotte, NC.
All other con plans for later have been postponed in anticipation of the new baby arrival in Aug/September. So I MIGHT do one more show late in the year. Too early to say.
______________
So it looks like we are in good shape. We're on our way!
