Want to help me out at ConnectiCon?

July 26th, 2009 | by Alex
Posted In: News

Since I’m going all by my lonesome self to CTCon this year, I’m going to need some help covering my table here and there throughout the weekend.

If you’re willing and able, I will need table coverage from 4-5pm Friday while I’m on the Webcomics 101 panel with Pete Tarkulich.  I’ll also need coverage from 1-3pm Saturday for the Webcomic Auction.  At some point before the Webcomic Auction, I’ll also be flittering about getting my auction item, a t-shirt, autographed by as many of the webcomics as I can, which will probably take me another hour or so.

I can compensate you for your time in commission art, or if you’re of an arty persuasion yourself, you’re welcome to leave some of your stuff with me and I will sell it for you and proclaim how awesome you are to passers-by!

Also, you get to wear this very stylish and informative hat, modeled here by my friend Christina:

Status Hat

If you’re interested, shoot me an email, tweeter at me, or send me a private message on the CTCon forums. ^_^

Con Hangover

August 5th, 2009 | by Alex
Posted In: News

So.  Did I just blow your mind?

I’m finally back from ConnectiCon, which is a tale of epic proportions, and deserves an equally epic con report, which will be up on my blog as soon as I can get it up.

Welcome, new visitors!  All those who either got a card or flyer at ConnectiCon or are following links from people I met at ConnectiCon!  You’re arriving right at the good parts, so do catch up in the archives so you can join everyone else on the edges of their seats.  ^_^

Until then, enjoy this marathon of twists and turns!

Matsuricon is coming!

August 25th, 2009 | by Alex
Posted In: News

Just a reminder that I’ll be at Matsuricon this weekend in Worthington, Ohio, just north of Columbus!  There was a small ray of despair where I thought I might have to pull out, but I will be in the Artist Alley as planned.  Hope to see some of you there!

Toonfest!

September 14th, 2009 | by Alex
Posted In: News

This weekend, I’ll be in Marceline, MO for Toonfest! Marceline is Walt Disney’s hometown, and Toonfest is an annual event for cartoonists, Disney fans, and the like.  I heard about it when I went to the Toon Awards last April!  I have no idea what it’ll be like, but I’m likely to run into some of the cartoonists I met with at the Toon Awards, as well as many others, so I’m excited!

I have a space in the vendor’s area as well, and I’ll be there at my table all day Saturday to sell my wares.  Maybe I’ll meet some of my Mississippi Valley readers there?  Who knows!  I’ll also be hanging out for Student Day on Friday.

Wish me luck!  I’m pretty sure my autograph t-shirt will be nearly out of room by the time I get back! ^_^;;

New Vote Incentive: A panel of Geilen from Friday’s page!

Weekend Aftermath

October 5th, 2009 | by Alex
Posted In: News

New Vote Incentive
On TWC, the new VI is a panel from an upcoming page!

24 Hour Comic Day
To recap, this year I did a two-week buffer for Garanos instead of a true 24 Hour Comic, and I finished 5 out of the tartgeted 6 pages completely!  I tried Livestreaming the whole time, but unfortunately when I got to the coloring stage, Photoshop and the Procaster software wouldn’t play nice, and it was making Photoshop too slow to get anything done at all, so I completed the rest of the pages without screencasting them.  (If I hadn’t lost 2-3 hours futzing with the Procaster, I probably could’ve finished all 6.)  I did get some footage of me drawing comic pages with my webcam, though, so that’s good.  ^_^

I’ll post a more in-depth account of 24HCD over on my blog later.

Tsubasacon
I’m afraid I’m backing out of Tsubasacon this year.  It’s simply not cost-effectice at the moment, so for anyone who was going to come say hello, I apologize.  Maybe next year!

ISCA Caricature Convention
As of a few days ago, I’m officially a member of the International Society of Caricature Artists, and I’ll be going to their week-long convention at the beginning of November!  This convention is back-to-back with Youmacon, which will be an interesting experience.

New Vote Incentive

October 9th, 2009 | by Alex
Posted In: News

New Vote Incentive! I had this sketch lying around with intent to fully render it up for the Women of Webcomics pinup project, but I ended up doing it rather painterly with most of the original sketch intact.  I think it’s rather nice, and a little different from what I do all the time these days.  Click below to vote on TWC and see it at full size!

Garanos Pinup

Con Announcement! I’ll be at Steel City Con in December!  I have a table in the Artist Alley, and I’ll have the good fortune of meeting up with Kez and Pete, as well, so I hope to meet (and make) some readers there.

Garanos is a finalist for a 2009 SPACE Prize!

October 11th, 2009 | by Alex
Posted In: News

Huge news, everyone!  Garanos is one of the finalists for the 2009 SPACE Prize in the webcomics category!

Earlier this year, in April, I attended SPACE as an exhibitor for the first time, and submitted some comics for the SPACE Prize, as well as submitting Garanos in the webcomic category.  I think this is the first year they’ve even had a webcomic category, so it’s going to be amazing and a great honor if I’m one of the winners!  The votes are tallied up among the 2009 exhibitors, so wish me luck.

Learn more about the SPACE Prize here, and see the other webcomic finalists here!

Convention Trail: Youmacon and ISCA Con

October 26th, 2009 | by Alex
Posted In: News

This weekend I’ll be in the Artist Alley at Youmacon!  This is my first year at Youma, and I’ve heard so many good things about it over the years that I’m really excited to go!

I’m even premiering something new there:  BOOKMARKS!

Bookmarks!

These are fully laminated, and about 1.5″ x 5″.  (3.8 x 12.7 cm.)  It’s just these five designs for now, but I may add more if they sell well!  They will cost $1 each, or free if you buy a copy of Garanos Volume I or II!  (If I have leftovers, they will be in the store sometime after the convention.)

And next week, I’ll be spending the entire week at the ISCA Caricaturing Convention in Sandusky!  I’m really looking forward to that, you have no idea.  ^_^  I expect to see some big famous cartoonists I know again!

New Vote Incentive

November 13th, 2009 | by Alex
Posted In: News

It’s Friday the 13th!

Pinup Geilen VI

New vote incentive is up!  An experiment in Painter, which I have never used before.

My Youmacon report is up, soon to be followed by my ISCA Con report.  If you’re not following my blog, then why not?  I post artwork up there about three times a week, so you should check it out. ^_^

Speaking of cons, my next con (and last con of the year) will be Steel City Con in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  I’ll be joined by Pete of Bardsworth and Kez of the War of Winds, which should make for a pretty awesome convention, so if you live in the area, make sure you come out! ^_^

Monday is the last page of Part 16!  :O  After that I’ll be taking a break of two weeks, and then Part 17 will start on November 30th.

Have a good weekend, everyone!
