| SPX 2011, MONSTER ISLE + MERMIN |
[Aug. 29th, 2011|12:02 pm] |
The Small Press Expo aka SPX is in two weeks (Sept 10 & 11), and I will be there! I'll be sharing tables H1-3b with Drew Weing, David Mack, David Yoder and Adam Aylard. All excellent cartoonists, come by and get one of everything they have to sell! We'll be right next to Tugboat Press, who is right across from Top Shelf. Shouldn't be too hard to find!
As noted on the SPX website, I will be debuting the first ever Monster Isle mini-comic, MONSTER ISLE: BIG MONSTER STUFF!
How do giant monsters spend their days when they aren’t destroying the nearest metropolis? MONSTER ISLE: BIG MONSTER STUFF is the first mini-comic collecting strips from Joey Weiser’s ongoing webcomic MONSTER ISLE. Spend time
with kaiju-inspired creatures during their day-to-day life, and you’ll see puppets, dancing, rafts of questionable quality, beard-growing doppelgangers, and more! www.tragic-planet.com
Publisher: Self-Published Mini-Comic
Details: 20 Pages, Full-Color
Price: $4 Monster Isle mini-comics will be limited items. There will only be 1 or 2 printings (a second printing only to accommodate the first batch of orders after the book goes on sale online). Since all of Monster Isle is available online, that is where it will live primarily. After SPX, Big Monster Stuff will be for sale at my online store, so keep an eye out for that if you aren't able to make it to the show.
I also wanted to take this time to make a quick note regarding Mermin. I've been getting asked when the next issue of Mermin will come out. I want to apologize to any of you out there who have read the first 5 issues, and are eagerly awaiting issue 6. It looks like it might be some time before you are able to see the little aquatic kid's adventures continue. However, I want to assure everyone that I have been working on Mermin, and I think you'll be excited to see what I've been doing. I'll leave it at that for now. Again, sorry for the delay, but more Mermin is coming!
Anyway, I'll have Mermin issues 1-5, Monster Isle: Big Monster Stuff, The Ride Home, Tales of Unusual Circumstance, and Cavemen in Space at SPX, so please come by, say "hello" and pick up a book or two if you'd like! See you in Maryland! |

| Heroes Con 2011 |
[May. 31st, 2011|11:31 am] |
This weekend (June 3-5) is Heroes Con! I will be there, in Indie Island at table 425. As illustrated in the map above, I'll be between Patrick Dean and Drew Weing, right across from Top Shelf, and not too far from AdHouse Books!
 At the show, I'll have all my books, mini-comics, postcards, etc available as listed on my online shop. Also, something that I only do at Heroes, I'll be doing original drawings for $10 each. I've prepared 10 sketches to ink at the show, which you can see HERE. You'll see I also have a few inked drawings left over from past shows which will be available as well. And, of course, you can ask for custom commissioned drawings which I will do at the show for you.
Also, Sunday at 2:30 I will be at the Webcomics: Solo Shocker panel. This panel will feature several cartoonists including Drew Weing and myself discussing putting our work online with Dollar Bin's Adam Daughhetee.
Finally, speaking of Adam and the Dollar Bin, I did a short comic for an anthology that they printing for Heroes Con. The theme is "buried treasure," and I don't know how much they want me to reveal about the book, but it has a really interesting interactive element that I'm excited about.

| FCBD Signing + Illustration Update |
[May. 4th, 2011|10:40 am] |
This Saturday is Free Comic Book Day! I'll be at Criminal Records doing FREE sketches and selling my books and mini-comics. My comics aren't free, but you'll be able to pick up plenty of free comics, here are what will be available that day. Last year Criminal had a really good selection, so I'd expect to see most of these titles available.
Also, you might be interested in seeing some illustrations that I posted on my LiveJournal. These days I mostly just repost all my news on LJ, and don't really use it otherwise, but it's a good way to share a ton of images like this. I've been doing illustration work for a print-on-demand publisher for about two years, and these are the most recent batch. There's a crazed meatball, sock-loving puffballs, a spotless ladybug, and all sorts of stuff to look at! |

| Illustration Update |
[May. 3rd, 2011|02:32 pm] |
About a year ago, I posted some illustrations that I've been doing for a print-on-demand publisher. I continue to work for them, and have several more to share. Sorry to put these up so infrequently... here are most of the illustrations I've done since then. Occasionally Michele and I color the work ourselves, but most of the coloring is done by their in-house illustrators.

| Original CiS Ending @ Avoid The Future! |
[Apr. 22nd, 2011|12:55 pm] |
For those who have read, Cavemen in Space, I have some shocking news for you: The ending originally had a much different twist! I mentioned this on Twitter a week or two ago, reminiscing about the fact that the CiS Fundraiser concluded about a year ago.
Comics blog extraordinaire Avoid the Future asked me about it, and my response is now online! AtF is always super nice, and their intro & outro sum up a lot of what I've been doing lately. Head on over and take a look!
If you haven't read Cavemen in Space yet, it is available for purchase online directly from me or AdHouse Books. I will also have copies, as well as Mermin and everything else, at FLUKE this weekend! |

| Cartoonist Survey + FLUKE 2011 |
[Apr. 12th, 2011|09:57 am] |
I took part in a massive cartoonist survey being conducted by the David-Wasting-Paper blog. I kept my answers pretty brief so it might be a fun, light read for those interested. There are over 200 surveys/interviews posted so far!
Also, coming up on April 23rd is the 10th Anniversary FLUKE Mini-Comics Festival! FLUKE is a really great, small show in Athens, GA that is being held this year at the legendary 40 Watt club! This is the first show that I will have all 5 issues of MERMIN at, as well as the rest of my books, postcards, etc. I even have some of my FLUKE 2009 posters left. If you live in Athens, or nearby, I highly recommend it!
Regarding new stuff at FLUKE this year - I have a story in the FLUKE Anthology titled "Robot Love." I've been helping gather stories for the book, and it's going to be a great, eclectic mix of work this year. Also, Dollar Bin is putting together a FLUKE-themed mini that I contributed a page for, so keep an eye out for that. |

| Drawn for Them ♥ Japan |
[Mar. 25th, 2011|11:18 am] |
I have contributed to a new project called Drawn for Them ♥ Japan. Here's how they describe themselves:
Drawn for Them ♥ Japan combines creativity with compassion by delivering a forum for the artistic to show their support to the nation of Japan in 2011 and beyond. It is my understanding that soon they will be selling prints and some original art to raise money for the victims of the earthquake, but for now we are just sharing artwork to show our support for those in need. Keep an eye on them for more art in the next couple weeks, and consider contributing some of your own!
My piece is from a photo I took in 2000, when I was in Japan on a month-long exchange in high school. We spent most of our time in Tokyo, attending Obirin High School, and visiting Kyoto at the end of our trip. Our hosts were very gracious, and although it was a short trip 10 years ago, I feel very close to Japan when I think back to that time. |

| Mermin 5 @ CWR and Art Show Reminder |
[Mar. 4th, 2011|06:19 am] |
Comics Waiting Room has posted a new review of Mermin issue 5:
There’s a surprising amount of action this time around, and it has a shocking amount of scale to it- I wasn’t even truly sure that all of the human cast would actually survive. But all that really does is show off just how good a cartoonist Joey Weiser really is. In five minicomics he has shown a massive amount of variety in what he can bring to the page... Also, I wanted to put out a reminder that the opening reception to the Athens cartoonist show at Athens Academy is tonight (Fri 3/4 5pm-7pm). If you live in the area and would like to look at some comic art, consider stopping by! |
