Play a game with me !


I've been trying to relax and getting into games helps :)

Please click this link to check out League of Legends online:
http://signup.leagueoflegends.com/?ref=50cb74d33ff22501081169
It's a free fantasy game that has a lot of action - everyone starts out even regardless of their levels and the characters are awesome. It's like playing a battle from your favorite comic.

I've also been playing Draw Something and Words With Friends.
I have the app on my Kindle, and it links up with any other device/app and on Facebook.

So give me a holler !!

Next post: back to work !! LOL




Happy Holidays !

You know what's getting very popular now ? Videos at conventions.
Taking pix is 'taking a back seat' to interviews, table sweeps, etc...

Here's a link to a video that I recently appeared in at the Greater Allentown show this past week... (2nd video down)http://www.krispmag.com/2012/11/10/the-great-allentown-comic-con/

New Book !

Mac and Trouble announcement..

While work is progressing on "Mac and Trouble" #1 and #2 (currently) we're beginning phase 1 of a new 'fun series' of books for our heroes.
"The Mac and Trouble Cat Joke Book" is in full swing (working title) - it will feature jokes, anecdotes, spot illustrations and photos, puzzles, and cartoons.

This new series will include art/anecdotes by Arthur GibsonDaniel GormanMichael GrassiaLaura InglisLarry JarrellNeil MakohonJim Taylor, and a few guests.
This new endeavor will published though our imprint Rusty Ink! under WTF Comics, and will be offered through various online outlets as well as bookstores.

This book will be designed a little different than the normal fare - you won't find 'blank' coloring book pages - pages will be designed with cool borders, mixed fonts, and fun layouts.

Also in production is the "Mac and Trouble Comfort Cookbook" and an unnamed comic book special.

Thanks guys - wanted to share it here first.

Aug 4-5... Allentown PA - Greater Allentown Show
Sept 29... Hershey, PA - Hershey Comic Show
Nov 3-4... Providence, RI - Rhode Island Comic Con

I'll be giving away exclusive art prints and/or exclusive cards at each !

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


I wanted to share these new cards I've done for Unstoppable Cards for their "Avengers 50" set (The Avenger tv show from the BBC in the 1960s)...



These last ones above are a homage to the original Avengers comic book artists...
(left) John Stokes 1967 - (right) John Bolton 1977


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


The "Mac and Trouble" comic book is coming along fine - the format has been changed from single issues to graphic novels, which has been proven to sell better, and has a longer shelf life with retailers.
Also, this will give readers more 'bang for their buck' - 3+ issues and features for a price lower that 3 full issues.

The "Mac and Trouble Comfort Foods Cook Book" is also coming along nicely. Artists Dan Gorman and George Leon are working hard on their parts, and a 5page story has been added to the mix. This will be a great book !


More to come folks !
