speaking of San Diego....




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


San Diego Comic-con [July 23-26, San Diego, CA]

I will be at San Diego Comic-con this year at the Archaia [Studios Press] table.
---I'm hoping to have an ash-can [aka mini-comic] out for this convention [which is a stand alone, in cannon, God Machine NEW story too! Also limited run, and numbered.], i'll also be doing simple commissions, i'll have prints and other goodies [courtesy of DRD of Peoples Republic of Venture <3] for you guys to get!

If there is any particular piece of art you'd like to see as a print, let me know. I make prints probably in the next 2 weeks.


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


Dragon*con [Sept. 4-7, Atlanta, GA]

So for the first time ever, yours truly will have a table at Dragon*con! So if you miss me at SDCC, be sure to see me on the East coast. :)
Also, same as SDCC, i'll have the ash-can, prints, commissions, and goodies!!! And who knows.. maybe i might just finally have The God Machine as well- [this, i'm attempting to make happen... no promises...]



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



More details on table numbers later-
Time to go back to breaking my hands on the Ash-can...! ;)

Lot's o love!
[hope to see you guys at the cons!]

Awakening Trailer!

To give you an idea of how sexy "Awakening" is...
the boys have made a trailer to show you!



Awakening for purchase at Amazon!


Can't stress how much i love this book and how much YOU need it in your hands!


-Chan

Titanium Rain needs your help! + Primordia, TGM, cons?

Hey guys!

Dunno if you've heard, but the super sexy and amazing, "Titanium Rain," is coming back to the comic stands again!


_{ORDER CODE: JUNE09 0698}

I can't begin to recommend this book enough! [from amazing art, to a stellar story! -and it's not even a genre i'm into, but it completely had me wrapped around it's mastery of telling a damn fine story!]

So here's what i'm asking~
TITANIUM RAIN NEEDS YOUR HELP!

One of the problems that face the industry, is that most of the time comic stores don't know what's coming out, and can overlook an amazing book like this one and primarily stick to regular DC and Marvel books.
With the economy as bad as it is, stores are scaling back too! Even more reason why they may NOT carry Titanium Rain! :(

So the brilliant Josh Finney & Kat Roacha [creators of Titanium Rain] need your help with getting comic stores to order Titanium Rain-

It's pretty simple really-

1. Go to a local store (or two)!
2. Tell the store owner you want your copy of Titanium Rain #1!
3. The owner will want to know who publishes the book, and what IT"S PREVIEWS CODE is. You say:

Titanium Rain is on page 191 of the Previews catalogs, ORDER CODE: JUNE09 0698.

Then add:

Titanium Rain is published by Archaia Studio Press, the company who does MOUSE GUARD.

This last bit is important because it tells the store owner we're published by a legit company, and will also increase the chance of the store ordering more copies.

That's it! You have less than 2 weeks to get the word out. I believe in you guys- even if money is tight, we just need to get the word out!



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



Also! [and the same goes for this as well]

Order the first hard bound graphic novel of Primordia as well!!
(which is not only a kick ass book, but also features one of my pin-ups as well!)

Preview order code - JUN09 0695


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


There are so many other things going on. Currently [if you didn't read under my latest image over at Deviant Art, ]
My book, The God Machine, has been put on hold again, due to minor complications. It's looking like October might be it's new release, but not totally sure yet.

But i'm trying my best to try to have the book out for SDCC [which i'll be there!] and at LEAST for Dragon*con..... Did I just say Dragon*con? hmmm yes i did. Waiting for the official word on that one....



That's it for now.

Love you guys!

-chan <3

p.s. Did I happen to make a phone call to the Ninja Mountain podcast? Perhaps so...! [regardless, always an amazing podcast to listen to! Even when i'm not being silly! right Patrick?]

p.s.s. Don't forget Awakening needs love too!

The God Machine is now on Facebook & Twitter!

Hey everybody, thought i'd do a quick update-

First, The God Machine is on Facebook- so come and be a fan there!
The God Machine [comic book]'s Facebook Page

Promote Your Page Too
[isn't that nice? a lil badge!]

And it's also on the Twitter, for all your updating twittery needs! [artwork, updates, news on other Archaia books, etc.]

Have to cut this short so i can do some work.

********************
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.
