Delays in the comics

Hey gang, I want to apologize for the lack of regular updates for @$$hole! lately. It’s not that I’ve taken a departure from comics – in fact, quite the opposite. With the release of my first published story (non self-published, that is), I’ve been super busy working on the next published work. Between that and work and trying out a social life for a few weeks (which culminated in failure this evening over text message), I’ve been a busy bee.

There won’t be any @$$hole! comics this week, I’m afraid. But I’m keeping track of the number of pages that haven’t updated, and I’m going to make it up to you all with some black and white updates (or more photo comics) soon.

I’m happy to say that @$$Hole! was nominated in the 2010 Drunk Duck Awards for best Photo Comic 3 years in a row! The nominations are all voted on by the readers, so I thank you all for the nominations and for liking the comic so much. The least I can do is update the darn thing. Just give me a little time. Winners get announced at the end of August, so maybe we’ll pull of a win this year. Fingers crossed for me.

I’m going to try to blog a bit later this week with the photos from the Reading with Pictures premiere signing event at Challengers last weekend. It was a blast of a time, and we sold a crap-ton of the book. I’ll be pimping the work at Chicago Comic Con next week with many of the book’s contributors, including John Bivens, Steve Wallace, Russell Lissau, and many more!

Alright, that’s it for me for now. Gotta rest up and review this script draft before sending off to the editor.

Holy boobs!  That’s right, Sophia had to remove her dressings and her shirt in order for someone to get in there and help redress her injured ribs.  Most of that blood isn’t hers, though.  It’s her sisters.

Sounds like her suicide mission is something that we’ve seen before.  I fear that this story parallels the original Temple story a little too closely in terms of plot points, but at least I was able to divide up the beats a bit better.  This story feels like it flows better, has more action and adventure, and is overall a more fun story to read.  The first story suffered from some slower periods.  It’s amazing what you can learn about writing in 8 years.

Wizard world was a blast, and I hope to have pictures posted to the blog soon.  I may also try to turn some of them into a photo story arc for my other comic, @$$hole!, but we shall see.

Speaking of @$$Hole!, the comic was nominated for two Drunk Duck Awards this year:

1) Best Photo Comic (second year in a row)
2) Best Socio/Political Comic

Thanks to all who read and voted!

@$$hole!: Blind Date 6

The waiter is played by Erica’s real-life boyfriend, Mike Ambs. Mike has worked in video editing for various websites, and recently moved to the Ann Arbor area…of course, after I left the state. :P

He’s an awesome guy and was tons of fun to work with. Very open to my direction and ideas, and even had a slew of his own to contribute. Very creative individual, and I encourage you all to follow him on twitter. He also has a flikr account, but I can’t think of the url off the top of my head.

Well, I’m at Wizard World Chicago already. So if you’re there (or in the area), be sure to stop by. I’m not exhibiting this year, but I’ll be shaking hands and kissing babies on the floor all day, doing a few panels at night, and will certainly be in the Hyatt bar after hours for a drink. Stop by, say hello to the bald man with bad posture (me).

Also, if you haven’t done so yet, be sure to check out Erica Hampton’s website, as she’s the awesome person both taking the pictures and playing the Crazy Cat Loving Lady (who will have a name soon).
