Only Skin was at Stumptown...

...unfortunately, I was not. I think the above photo is from the Pony Club booth at Stumptown 2008. On the table you can see comics from me, Chuck, Alex and Joe. Pretty Cool. (note: this photo was mercilessly swiped flickr poster aenigma's extensive photolog of Stumptown, which you can access here.)

You can finally buy a copy of Only Skin 3 online at Secret Acres or Atomic Books on in Jim Hanley's Universe. Microcosm and Quimbys and a few other stores should have it soon.


Also, the ever awesome Whitey at Optical Sloth has a review up of Only Skin 3. Read it here. (scroll down past the reviews of the first two issues to read it.)

Also, congrats to comrade Chuck "McBuck" Forsman for winning the Indie Spinner Rack Scholarship! Will those ISR dudes ever stop being Awesome? No. You can listen to that right here. (they also talk about the new issue of Only Skin briefly after Chuck's acceptance speech.)

ALSO, head on over to the Sundays blog where Jeff Lok has posted a color version of his hilarious "Sam and Dan" comic that will be included in Sundays 2. More info on Sundays 2 to come, but I can tell you that I've seen the screen printed cover Alex and Joe collaborated on and it's amazing. Sundays 2 will be at MoCCA 2008 in about six weeks.

ALSO! I've updated my "friends" and "comics sites" links with the blogs of pal Rich Tommaso, teach Jason Lutes and teach Steve Bissette's newish blog (he actually changed his site a while ago, but I haven't had the chance to update the link).



I forgot to mention, I'll be going to Heroes Con in Charlotte, NC on June 20th-22nd to their Indie Island section. Seriously, check out that Indie Island list: Sammy Harkham, Jaime Hernandez, Jaime Hernandez and Jaime Hernandez. Did I mention Jaime Hernandez? That's gonna be awesome. I'll be going with a few other CCS pals.

I'm working on my Sundays 2 strip and writing the next issue of Only Skin at the moment. And getting ready for CCS graduation in a scant 17 days.

NY Comic Con!

Come on out to NY Comic Con next weekend. Only Skin 3 will be at Jim Hanley's booth.

See you there, hopefully.

That's all.

Only Skin ३ done for real; goes to NY Comic Con

Only Skin 3 will be debuting at NY Comic Con in a few weeks. It'll be at Jim Hanley's table there. I'm going to try to make it down to visit some friends and see the show.

Copies should also be to Secret Acres within the week and hopefully a few other places.

Only Skin 3

...is done. ...for now. I may be redrawing the cover though.

Soon-ish

Inking for Only Skin 3 is complete. All I have to do now is draw and color the cover. I should have copies ready to mail out some time next week. Here are a few sample pages...

Only Skin 3, Lambert Keep It Steady and Welcome to the Dahl House

Here's some inks from Only Skin 3, I have to clean them up a little still, but I'm posting them for you now. I'm pretty much on track to finish the issue by the end of March.

Also, my main man Joe Lambert just posted on his blog that he's going to be included in Best American Comics 2008. Which is cool own it's own, but even cooler if you realize that comics legend Lynda Barry is editting. Congrats, Joe! That's an exciting first, and it probably won't be his last.

Also in cool (one-time) WRJ cartoonist news, Ken Dahl's book is now available for pre-order on Amazon! You can also order it directly from Microcosm. Now he just has to finish Monsters. Congrats, Gabby.
