p.s. Officially I'm NOW doing Wonder-con! CA, April 2-4th!! I'll be at the Archaia booth. East coast representin'...or something like that.

A week later, and finally recovering from Dragon*con!

Sorry this took so long, but I've been on a secret project this past week, and finalizing some last minute touches to a certain book~!

Dragon*con was a blast! For my first time behind the table there I was pleasantly surprised how well received THE GOD MACHINE was, and how adorable you guys are! I tried out "Crazy Crayon Commissions" for the first time, and they were a smashing success! [I will be bringing them back for sure, though at a lil higher price since they broke my hands, ouch!]I also did some pretty niffty commissions that I rather liked.

Even if I was more than 75% at my table, I did get to have adventures! I saw my friend Doc Hammer's band, Weep, perform, saw the Venture Brothers panel, talked to people at Rusty's Day Camp about how i make comics, and LOTS of drinking happened on the first day [oops!].

I got to see many of my friends and make new ones too! I met Peter Steigerwald [hyper cool colorist and illustrator over at Aspen] and the very cool McCartney! [also met tons of other people too!] Also saw my friends David Petersen, and Jeremy Bastian~! Not to mention the ever cool, and always amazing DRD [who, without I'd be lost.]

Course I had my beautiful husband, Jim, my best friend Laura, and Misha to help me with my booth when I couldn't be there and needed someone to keep me company. I don't think I could have done it without them! <3

So that's it for now! Playing catch up and working hard now.

I've also uploaded tons of photos to my facebook account [visible to all, if not yell at me and i'll upload them to some other spot.]

More news later~ lots coming up!!

Awakening comic coming soon, and FX Con appearance for me!

I've got some comic news [not my own, but still a damn fine comic it is!], and my next con appearance!


ready? let's go!

********************
The super sexy comic, Awakening, is coming out in June! I have more info for ya guys on the graphic novel that surely will be your cup of tea! [i know i'm in love with it]

If you are indeed looking for a different kind of zombie-existentialist-horror book, you like comics, adore some Alex Eckman-Lawn sexy art, and a good story [compliments of talented Mr. Tapalansky] then I have the thing for you...

but best let Mr. Nick [Tapalansky] explain this one!


Nick Tapalanksy says _{[writer of Awakening ]:}

AWAKENING Volume One is being solicited in April Previews (comic shop ordering magazine)! It’s alllllll set for it’s June release and we couldn’t be more excited. Check out the Awakening album for some sweet previews.

Now the first step in our multi-pronged effort to throw ourselves in the faces of as many people as possible begins. We’re working with a limited time frame, so any help you guys can give would be appreciated more than you know. :)

The deadline for initial order cut-offs from comic shops is incredibly short this month. While they can place re-orders later, if you want to guarantee that the shop will get the book in on the day it’s released, you’ll need to stop in no later than April 11th. To make it super easy for everyone, Alex and I have created a coupon with all our Previews info on it. We've posted it up in our gallery - direct link is below!



Don't worry, it only looks big (that's what she said) - it prints at 4"x6" and won't kill any ink cartridges.

Just print that sucker out, give it to the shop along with your name and phone number, and away you go! If you need help finding a local shop, visit the Comic Shop Locator.

In the event that you don’t have a local comic shop, don’t panic! As soon as the book is available for pre-order through bookstores (Barnes & Noble, Amazon, etc.) or online comic shops I’ll be posting links and a second coupon you can bring to said stores.

In the meantime, please pass this along to friends, family, and loved ones who might be interested in a little existential horror/noir to brighten their day... They can find out more about the book by visiting our MySpace or my deviantART page.
Likewise, if you’ve got a blog or an online presence (website, MySpace, Facebook, etc.) and dig the book, please please please help us spread the word. Post the coupon up for download, sing our praises, talk about how handsome Alex , Thomas , and I are, you know… the usual.

Thanks again everybody for all the support you’ve given us so far! We couldn’t have gotten to this point without all of you and we hope you know how much that means to us.

We love you.

NYCC, Mega-Con, & The God Machine re-signed!!

So much information to get done, and my hands hurt! >_<



First conventions appearances-

------------------



New York Comic-con
Feb. 6th-8th




Today i got the official word that I will be attending New York Comic-con. No word on when i'll be at the booth, but I will be at the Archaia Studios Press booth [i think, I couldn't find Archaia listed this year, but our new mother company, Kunoichi Inc, is listed as booth #949. So I'm not sure if we'll be with them this year. More details on this booth situation when I get more information from Mark Smylie next week.

I'll be selling prints, giving out stickers, and totally unsure about sketches due to hands. [This will have to be decided at the convention].




------------------


Mega-con
Feb 27th - March 1st


I’ll be in Artist Alley; Burgundy 8A section. I'll be doing the same thing [prints/stickers/etc.] at Mega-con. The cool thing about Mega-con is it's in my home town, and i'm not going to freeze to death. :) Also, you'll certainly see my best friend Ana Aesthetic in all her costumed glory stop by from time to time, and also my amazing cousin, Lindsay Cibos and her partner in crime, Jared Hodges, will be in artist alley as well. Come out to say local true-believers [Nick started my Stan Lee kick there] and say hi. :) ~And also you strange souls who actually come to Mega-con from out of town. ^_~

Showroom Hours:
Friday – 1-7pm
Saturday – 10am-6pm
Sunday – 10am-5pm


------------------

Pay-pal


If you'd like to donate some money to help me with my expenses for these conventions, it would be gladly appreciated. [i make nothing, literally.]

palpal account: witchycrankypoo@gmail.com
*note it's under my husband's account, so if you see a name of "James" in the invoice, you know why.

Thanks guys! I wish i could offer up cheap commissions right now, but i'm going to be busy for awhile. I'll try to open up something if i have the time, but no promises.


------------------

Last, but certainly not least-



The God Machine has been re-signed with Archaia Studios Press!!!



As of today, I finally got back my signed copy of my contract from the new boss man, PJ Bickett.
You're probably thinking, "What? Wasn't she signed with Archaia already?"

Answer to that is, yes I was signed. -But back in mid 2007 Archaia went through restructuring and was acquired by Kunoichi Inc. New contracts were issued to ALL talent published under Archaia, negotiations happened in length, and books were put on hold. Hence, "The God Machine" never came out for it's July/Aug/Fall debut. [You can read the restructuring further on Archaia's website.] Just this month, Archaia started releasing some of it's titles.

So, "The God Machine" is re-signed, now what?
Well, that's in my corner currently. Due to my carpal tunnel, i've held off on setting a new schedule for my comic to be released. So, as soon as I can figure out my limitations, and what I can do, the best possible release date is probably mid to late 2009.

I do apologize for all my silence, but really there were a lot of times where I was unsure of what was going to happen and didn't want to give false information until I was totally sure of the situation at hand.

Also to let you know, I'm very happy with my new contract with Archaia, and still look forward to having a long relationship with them.




------------------

So that's about it.

Also i have a new account [old actually] at blogger:
Come add me to your blog list!

See you at the cons!!!
