"Go long enough without someone's touch and eventually you'll go mad..."


Maybe because I'm addicted to insomnia, maybe because I love drawing comics so much, or maybe because I'm just a plain idiot- I've got YET another project in the works for an early fall release. Dear Diary, My Heart Beats Electric, is the first in a series of planned short stories I'll be self-producing within the next couple years. Each book (clocking in at about 40 pages) is a self-contained, one-shot novella solely created by yours truly. The first (of many) is Dear Diary, which will make its debut this September at Small Press Expo in Bethesda, Maryland.

I'll be sure and keep you in the loop of all the bullshit rambling about the project when I'm ready to start shooting my mouth off about it. For now, everything's like LA Confidential- "off the record, on the QT, and very HUSH HUSH".

The Occupant Must Be Awaken

Here's a quick glance at one of my favorite scene's from Plan B Book 2. I'm really diggin' working in a looser, more abstract feel for some parts of the book and completely throwing in another vibe for others. It definitely does a good job of unifying the Plan B universe, while still being its own entity.



WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON??? I know, you're totally asking yourself that right now- as well you should be. But guess what, you'll be able to find out this fall! In fact, if you're heading out to Small Press Expo this year, you oughta make a point to stop by my booth and pick up a copy for yourself and maybe like 12 for your friends and family.

Raygun Cowboys #2: Sophmore Slump/Work In Progress



I've been jokingly referring to Raygun Cowboys issue 2 as a "sophmore slump" for a number reasons. Every time I finish a page, I look at the first issue and curse how proud I am of it, noticing how the second issue has to outshine it (and with my scruples, it rarely does). It's been an uphill battle topping myself- but I think it's safe to say that things are moving in a decent direction.

Oddly enough issues 3 and 4 should be a breeze, I've managed to have all of that stuff worked out and roughed since I first started plotting #1. But as you can see, 2's already got some good stuff going for it: charismatic sidekick creatures, monsters, mega spaceships and suggestive womanly nudity- last I checked that's the reason most of us won't admit to enjoying Return of the Jedi.

Raygun #1 Release Party Recap- WAY OVERDUE

While I've been out, failing at updating this blog, we had a release party for RAYGUN COWBOYS#1 (out now from Patchwork Comics, hint hint)- this WAY back in FEBRUARY! So this is long overdue. With some live music from Turbines (check em out: www.myspace.com/turbinesmusic, they're ten shades of rad) and a stellar turnout, it was a good night. But since you weren't there- here's a brief recap of what you missed. Next time put these things in your calender, savvy?

Don't Call It A Comeback



Jesus, has it been THAT long? Did it take THAT long for me to show some bloggy-blog love? Apparently. I know, that's probably way too long (to you the four people and my mom that check this regularly). So it's a good time to unleash some news to the masses.

I've been knee-deep working on the next installment of the Plan B universe for the upcoming BOOK 2! "SAMUEL PROVIDENCE AND THE NEFARIOUS DOCTOR FOIL"! If you were diggin' the first book, the second damn sure knocks it out of the park. Josh's story is gonna turn your crazy little brains inside out.

You've been warned.
