Nothing Better is going on Summer Vacation!
This Friday June 27th will see the last page of Nothing Better Volume 2 update. Beginning Tuesday July 1st (and updating every Tuesday/Friday) a slate of guest comics will start up to carry us through the summer. Guest comickers were asked to tell their own college or college-inspired stories and I've got lots of good stuff from many talented friends and peers to share.
Over the course of the summer I'll be busy writing Volume 3 of Nothing Better, doing some freelance work and enjoying being a new father. I'll also have some random comics and art of my own to share. Hopefully we'll manage to entertain you.
Nothing Better Volume 3 will begin updating online on Tuesday September 2nd!
(and for those wondering, the plan is to have the print version of Nothing Better Volume 2 out early next summer, so be patient!)
stick around - we've got a great show!
Charlotte Nicole Page was born on Friday June 6th! Both baby and mom are doing very well. I've been home from MCAD for the last week as we get used to life with our new daughter and so far it's been going great.
I've also been finishing up the last few pages of NB Volume 2 - which will end on the last day of June. After that it will be a summer full of sweet guest comics and other random stuff as I take some time to relax, spend time with my family, and write Volume 3, which will begin in September!
I recently signed up with Wowio, a site where you can download PDFs of books for free! (you have to register though) Authors earn 25 cents for every book under 100 pages and 50 cents for every book over 100 pages that is downloaded! They stick some ads in your PDF to support the service. I thought I'd give it a shot as it's a way for people to be able to download and read Nothing Better whenever they want. Plus, I'm uploading individual chapters to try and make a bit more money - in the few days since I uploaded the first chapter I've already earned about 10 bucks! I'll try and keep the curious updated on how this continues to pan out.
I'm finishing up the last few pages of Volume 2 of Nothing Better and am deep into outlining Volume 3! Click over to the LiveJournal to check out an initial outline and some recent sketches.
hey gang, if you live in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, Cori and I will be at the MCBA MICROCON this Sunday, April 27th, from 10am - 4pm. come say 'hi,' get some books and a sketch or two!
I finally got around to putting an online preview of Stylish Vittles back up. You can read it HERE and still order the 3-volume set HERE for CHEAP!
Baby's almost here! She's due June 6th - click on over to the ol' LiveJournal for more details.
Today marks the beginning of Chapter 12 - the last chapter in Volume 2! Here comes the end of Katt and Jane's first semester in college. This also marks the return of two updates a week - back to Tuesdays and Fridays! Sweet.
I've been working on a pitch for a non-NB graphic novel over the last few months. Click on the image to go check it out!
As I've noted on the WCN page - I don't intend on finishing the story unless someone wants to publish it. I hope they do because I like the characters. I'm in the final stages of getting the actual pitch together and I should be sending it off to publishers in the next few weeks.
In the meantime, let me know what you think of this. do you like it? do you want to read the rest? where do you think it's going?
Over at the Comics Journal website, Dirk Deppey lays out his 50 best comics of 2007 and Nothing Better joins the list at #27! Awesome.
This year kicks off with a bang, with Nothing Better Vol 1: No Place Like Home getting an Honorable Mention in the Publisher's Weekly Comics Critic's Poll, so if you ever needed a reason to buy the book, there ya go! (hint, hint, hint...)
Also, Cori's latest mini-book, her interpretation of the classic kids song, Little Bunny Foo Foo is finally for sale in our store, so go check it out and then buy it!
Yipes! It's been too long, but I've been busy cranking out Nothing Better pages and working on a pitch for another project. In other news, Cori and I have embarked on a different kind of project - we'll be having a baby next June! So far everything with the baby has gone well and we might be able to find out the sex at our ultrasound after Christmas. Stay tuned for more!
