We Rode With the Clowns

Here's a preview of the short digest jam comic I was badgering all you guys about. I'll be taking it to the printer this week and sending out contrib copies. I plan on distributing it as a freebie both in the mail and in person. I'm a bit rusty and in many ways am relearning some of the drawing and printing tricks.

Thanks to Steven Stwalley, Maximum Traffic, Ed DeVore, Chelsea Baker, Harry Bell, Roldo, Bob Vojtko, Brad W. Foster, and Bruce Chrislip!

Bruce sent me enough drawings to last awhile, but if any of you readers out there want to participate in future comix I'm game for creating more of these. If nothing else it is great to meet you new folks and wonderful to see the Oldwavers are still drawing!

Step Right Up!

Almost there. I need two more volunteers from the audience to contribute to the minicomic idea I first posed on December 15, and then was given a big shot in the arm by Brad Foster promoting it last week.

Here's the lineup of great contributions so far: Brad Foster, Roldo, Bob Vojtko, Harry Bell, Chelsea Baker, and Bruce Chrislip.

Several other artists have indicated an interest (including some amazing Oldwavers I'd love to coax into the project) and if I get more than two additional contributions, that's fine. I'll find a way to change my original plan or I'll just start a second book. Once again here are the specs:

One idea I have is to invite 8 or more artists to send me a page for a minicomic with a random image or images. I'd put all the pages together and form a story. It builds and expands the concept of the minis I drew with Dale Luciano at Dada Gumbo. If you're interested send me a page via email or snail mail. It has to be clean enough so I can show it to my aging mother but crazy enough to make my grown daughter roll her eyes and wonder when her Dad is ever going to grow up.
