If you're planning on attending Phoenix Comicon, you're definitely going to want to stop by the Pop! Goes the Icon table, where I'll have some awesome goodies, perhaps none more awesome than a hand-painted "Utopian" Munny.
In about 10 days, I'll drive my Toyota Matrix loaded with comics, display stands and paraphernalia to Phoenix for my first-ever attendance at Phoenix Comicon.
I'll be spending Free Comic Book Day this Saturday at MaximuM Comics' Henderson location, doing sketches and possibly signing comics if you, I dunno, buy something I wrote or drew or whatever.
An unexpected UPS package arrived on my doorstep this morning (or, more likely, yesterday, and I just didn’t see it). It was from Square, the company that provides smart phone-based credit card processing software/hardware for micro-business people such as me.
The crazy thing about finishing up this past weekend's 48 Hour Film Project is that after barely meeting the deadline and turning in our film, I couldn't just relax and celebrate. I had another deadline looming.
On Friday I fly up to Portland, Ore. for the first time to attend the eighth annual Stumptown Comics Fest, being held April 16 and 17 at the Oregon Convention Center.
I've formed a team to create a short film for this year's 48 Hour Film Project, which kicks off Friday, April 8 and is due Sunday, April 10. Yes. 48 hours. Basically, we get a genre, a line of dialog, a character and a prop at 7 p.m. on Friday and have to turn in a finished film of less than seven minutes by 7 p.m. Sunday.
Fellow unsung indy comic creator and colleague Dino Caruso is doing this neat set of interviews with other such creators over at the blog for Crystal Fractal Comics, a small Canadian comic publisher. Last week, he finally posted the interview we conducted over about three months.
This Friday night from 8 to 10 p.m., I'll be returning to the internet airwaves (web-waves?) for another installment of "Live from the Double Down Saloon."
This time around, I'm going to pull back the veil on what the hell I was doing in between all these projects, from recording material that never left the living room to planning a Rahne comeback that never happened.
