This is quite an exciting time for me right now.
Last week, I received a package: a 40 pound box containing 40 copies of Other Sleep! The whole thing, all 9 chapters, contained in one reasonably sized book. My work in physical form. It’s real.

Soon as I figure out the cost of shipping, I’ll be putting it up on my Big Cartel page for folks to order.
Yesterday, I hung my show, Something Ugly Found Adrift, at the William King Museum’s Panoramic gallery. 26 pieces, the original art and full color prints of pages from Other Sleep, are on display until March 1. It was originally only going to be 10 or 15 pieces. Then it went to 20 or 25. Then 30. Back to 25. Then to 28, down to 26 when I finally got to hanging. Math is hard.

The reception is this Thursday night at 6:30, and it will also be for two other shows: There/Here and Heroes Aren’t Hard to Find. After I finished hanging my show yesterday, I went downstairs to the Heroes show and got to look around by myself. It’s wonderful. Beautiful. Original Steve Ditko Spider-man pages. A Frank Miller/Klaus Janson Spidey page. There’s a Captain America cover with Deathlok on it by Mike Zeck and John Beatty that I’m in love with. An original Wally Wood page. An original Frazetta comic strip! I knew, this being from Shelton Drum’s personal collection, that it’d be a great show, but I underestimated just what an experience it’d be to see all that brilliant work up close, in person. I may have wept a little.

My work is nothing compared to that show, but it still thrills me to no end that my own little comic is being displayed at the same time, in the same building as guys like James Jean, Joe Kubert, and so many others.

As far as current stuff goes? I’m gearing up for ETSUCon and Koku Manga in March. I’ll have two new posters ready by then. Here’s the first, a top-down shooter tribute called BOSS RUSH:
Work on Burst Reach 4 has officially started. The first story has quite a heavy videogame influence on it.
And I’m currently in a deep brainstorming/research phase on my next webcomic, about a young female boxer who fights monsters. She’s…not in a realistic boxing stance in this sketch at all. Please ignore that.
 

Finally, I purchased a table for this year’s Heroes Con! No image to accompany that, sorry.

Busy busy year, this 2014. Gotta keep moving, gotta keep making things happen, right?
