Halloween happened this past week. Since it was raining we took the safe road and went to the local Mall where the stores were handing out candy. Scott-bot 2000 picked out his own costume:
And since James T can't talk yet, the wife and I picked out something appropriate for him:
I've been busy working on commissions, writing stuff and trying to finish the mountain of things on my plate. The next three months are HEAVY production months for me. (So much for the sabbatical!) And I'm not complaining. It pays my bills. Right now I got two smaller card sets on my plate, plus some odds and ends for another one I did work for this last summer. That same company wants to make a comic book with me featuring a major historical literary character. So I pitched them a concept and a few story outlines and they loved them. I finished the main outline and some dialog in a script last night and sent it off for approval. I will probably start pages this next week or two. We're planning on a 4 issue run if all goes well. Its a paid gig and its gonna be awesome!
Beyond that, I've done regular commission work and writing when I can on the three books I plan to release hopefully next year. A couple of them, for sure. So expect A LOT from me next year!
STARSLAM continues! Every Monday, a new perverted strip is uploaded. Adults only. Read it at the adults only part of this site if you are over 18 and are into such things. I'm wrapping up art on that project so that I can launch a tradebook next year as well.
ARTBOOK: Some might not have heard but the original printer backed out of printing it. I understand their reasoning. But I got another printer in mind for the gig. I'm talking to them this week and hopefully the books will be printed and in your hands by Christmas.
PODCAST: The idiothead morning show podcast continues! Subscribe and download via Itunes right HERE -- and please make with the comments, subscriptions and downloads. It all helps fund the podcast, which is available for free. Thank you. Approaching episode #200!!!
Meanwhile when I am not working on these millions of things, this is who monopolizes my time:
James is walking now and into EVERYTHING! A real hand full. Also Scott and his autism is a constant challenge. We're working with doctors to get him the best care. He has little improvements every day and I'm excited to see that. But I will admit some fatigue does hit me hard.
And, if all of the above wasn't enough, the boys and I are planning and working on a TALES OF SEQUENTIAL MAYHEM #3! I started the art on it this week. Here's a spoiler page:
Its an EC HORROR COMICS tribute book just like the last one. Likely we will launch a Kickstarter for it in January. Look for it soon.
2014 20th ANNIVERSARY TOUR: Its shaping up. I'm 100% confirmed for Cherry Captial Con in May. Then I'll likely hit Motor City Con after that. Then maybe either NYCC or San Diego as a fan to pass out flyers and meet editors. We'll see what I can swing. I'd like to do a book signing or two at some local stores. We'll see.
Anyway folks, thanks for checking in. TONS going on. Lets hope my 20 years at this juggling act works out and I can keep these balls in the air. (Not MY balls, but the balls being various things... I mean... ah.. you know what I mean.)
