Fall 11 Updates

Well, I'd been planning to do a blog for a while, but frankly I don't like word press. Hopefully this works out.

If you haven't noticed, I've honestly not been posting 3 comics a week for the past month or so. I'll admit, I've been pretty busy with both my family, real work, and other comics related projects. Maybe I'll catch up to 3 Heaven Forbid weekly comic pages again. Maybe I'll be down to 1 in a while. Who knows?

Honeslty, tho, I've had so many comics activities in the past month or so, it's been crazy!
I've been 2 two conventions [only exhibited at one], done a complete brand new mini comic called Cow Puncher, done a new print of Hercules Vs. Jesus, worked extensively on my new Golden Age archive project [specifically on the first planned book, a romance collection of the Lev Gleason romance series, Boy Meets Girl], started character designs for a really cool animation project, began working on a presentation for a local museum, been part of 2 local comic signings, and started teaching a class on creating comics. Truly, it has been crazy and good. [and as i continue writing this blog, i'm thinking of more things i could've added above, oh well...]

So, you'll have to forgive me if I do not have as many heaven forbid pages posted as I'd like. I doubt too many people are concerned, though. And if you are, just know the sacrifice I'm making on HF is leading to other great stuff. I have often thought that it's a shame when web cartoonists slack on their webcomics because they find success in other areas and I have not wanted to do that. I'm also bummed out that all of these projects mean that finishing the current Heaven Forbid book will be pushed back further. I wanted to be done with it in a year- and I've been working on it for about a year, with lots of work to go still. At least for the "Chelsea and the Turkish Delights" graphic novel. The reality is that I have done another full book's worth of stories apart from that one which could be a graphic novel by themselves. I just haven't finished the Chelsea book. But there are still plenty of people who haven't bought HF vol 1. So i guess that when it stops selling, I'll have to release the other stuff. Who knows? I'm really not too concerned about it. Plus, I'm doing enough mini comics, that I'm releasing plenty of other work- it's not like I'm leaving people hanging. And I've got to thank all the people who've been purchasing my stuff at recent conventions and signings. Truly, I'm honored by everyone.

I should revamp my website to say "new comics 2wice a week," but that gets me back to the busy-ness of it all. Maybe if someone writes that I'm not posting as much as that, I'll change it. Oh well.

Cowtown Comix Fest is coming up in November, which should be awesome. So I'm looking forward to that. I did a flier for it. I think other artists are doing some, too, but I figured I wanted to promote it, so why not just do it yourself, right?

I guess that's it for now. Enjoy your October!
