02/14/11 Krep Gets an Address

Been a nice week. Book was released (pretty!), there were (briefly) gumdrops in the cupboard, and I got a chance to even begin my taxes. How luxurious!

I should mention here that “Spacetrawler book 1 — The Human Seat” is NOT ONLY FOR SALE, but is also ripe to be nominated for the Hugos in the category of “Best Graphic Story.” So, if you wish to nominate it (you must already be a member Renovation, nominations due  March 26th), you have my support (and encouragement).

Oh, and if you want to express your pleasure with Spacetrawler on Goodreads, Matt has created a page for it there.

Some thanks to go out there. Thanks to James Anderson of “Ellie on Planet X” for his sweeeet graphic link to here as well to my other two comics Bruno and Little Dee. Thanks for the mention of the new Spacetrawler book from Xaviar Xerexes  over at Comixtalk, and Gary Tyrell over at Fleen. Also, Rembrand Le Compte (Beardfluff) mentioned that Spacetrawler’s one of his favorite comics over at Gafbo, awwww. :)

Oh, and for those of you who have asked about my work for MAD, I do a semi-regular strip in their “Strip Club” pages, entitled “It Only Hurts When I Laugh.” And I’m in the most recent issue (with A.E.Newman-as-Justin-Bieber on the cover), so, check it out. :)

02/07/11 Planet Gilmiet

As you can see, I’m working on a webpage re-design. My main first goal was to upgrade WordPress and Comicpress, which I managed to get done and it seems to function (thanks to Corey for help on the WordPress). Next is to actually work on making it all more navigable. We’ll see how that goes. Still (always) open to ideas.

If you haven’t done so yet, make sure to check out Snowflakes where I have been illustrating the dialogue and story by Zach Weiner and James Ashby (and drawing from the characters designed by Chris Jones). Monday and Wednesday will be my last two strips for the fill-in. Check it out!

Also, Erika Moen (Dar) and Jeff Parker have a new comic out called Bucko. Self-dubbed “a dick and fart joke murder-mystery.” So be sure to check that out.

And a last link, for those who love Totoro as well as despair.

If you’re wondering about the logo on Martina’s beret, it is the “Interplanet Amity” logo. The image below is the same logo (more detailed) from the very first strip. I think it appeared one other time, and of course it is also on the mug for sale.

For a fun thing to do during the holidays, Beth and I made and frosted gingerbread cookies. I’m not posting the recipe on cookrookery because I think the flavor was only so-so, but we had fun. The guy on the left is just some random nobody, then I did Nogg and Beth did Martina. Mmmmmmm. :)

And then there’s me, the author, providing constructive criticism…

And last, a quick thanks for the mention by Lauren Davis on my Ripley drawing. And perhaps she’s right…. A Ripley series would be fun. As would Sarah Conner. A duo perhaps?

As you can well tell, book #1 is winding down (current estimate puts January 5th as the last page), and then on to book #2. But with that, as well as with the new year, I will probably do a small overhaul of the Spacetrawler web page. And if you have ANY suggestions, let me know!

I’m considering removing the “iphone” version (does anyone actually use this?), having prints for sale, making the strip image slightly larger, and a general visual overhaul.

Thanks for the re-blog and many comments/re-re-blogs of Ripley over at FYSF!

That’s it today. Have a Happy Solstice and a Merry Christmas/kwanzaa/Hanukkah etc, I hope Santa is kind enough to not bring you coal!

As a week-late cyber-monday celebration, I want to point you to some wares of other great comics:

Spike’s Templar Arizona (books, poster, and plushy)
Favorite: “Flora The Chicken” plushy!

Brad Guigar’s Evil Inc. (books, cards, calendars)
Favorite: the calendar!

Bill Barnes with Gene Ambaum for Unshelved (everything you could want for librarians)
Favorite: the “Never Forget” shirt.

Bill Barnes again with Paul Southworth for Not Invented Here (prints and shirt)
Favorite: “You Never Forget Your First Time” shirt (apparently I like the “forget” theme).

Zach Weiner’s Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal (shirts)
Favorite: “Most Dangerous Game” shirt.

Chris Hallbeck’s The Book Of Biff (books!)

Rebecca Clement’s Kinokofry (prints and original art)

Also, this Saturday there’s an Open House for an exhibit of small works in north Portland at the Written On The Body Massage and Acupuncture Studio, where I have three pieces.

Saturday, December 11 · 2:00pm – 6:00pm
29th and NE Alberta (above Bernie’s), Portland, OR

I’m totally bummed that I can’t make it (Portland is just far enough to be difficult getting back and forth to), but YOU should go.

Info on the Open House.

To see the works that will be in the show, or to purchase the artwork (if you can’t make it), go to the Written On The Body website and click on “Online Store.”

I will also have a show (all my own) there in late January, which I WILL be able to attend, and will keep you all abreast of.

First off, I would like to officially encourage you to go to my SPACETRAWLER ONLINE STORE at Topatoco…

(really, right now)

and purchase t-shirts and mugs (and my other fine products from previous comics I’ve done). There’s been a hold-up of the cards at Topatoco, and so I don’t believe the cards will be ready in any time that would get to you in time to send out to others. Sorry! So, all the items that ARE available make great gifts. Check it out! Support Spacetrawler! until I have books or the numbers high enough to get advertisers, this is my bread and butter! (well, and buying original Spacetrawler art or donating (link in the right-hand column of links).

Rickshaw_Boans_by_SebasP2

I received more fan art. And it’s pretty dang awesome. It’s by Sebastian Piriz who has more excellent (and many sci-fi) drawings up on his DeviantArt page, and it’s of Rikshaw Boans who appeared in the very first Spacetrawler strip. (you can also see it on the Fan Art page, which you’ll also see a link to on the right)

In news, be glad you are not on THIS PLANET.

Thanks to Bernie Hou (who I got to hang out with at NEWW) of Alien Loves Predator, Nick Daniel at 70 Seas for the links!

And lastly, phew. I’ve been traveling for two-and-a-half weeks in the New England Area. I used the NEWW comic fest as the excuse to come out here, but since I lived my first 27 years in this part of the country, it’s been lots of non-stop isiting of friends and family. But I can’t wait to get back Monday night! Back to my sweetie, the cats, and of course…. the drawing board. Here’s a pic from my trip of Hans Christian Anderson reading me “The Ugly Duckling” in NY Central Park.

Now, go to my Topatoco Page. You know you want to.

topatoco_my_site_3

Oh yay! Minutes before the strip was to go up now, Dan just emailed me a pic of him in his Spacetrawler shirt! As he put it, “the best thing since the pangalactic gargle blaster.” Cheers! :)

me_newwNEWW (New England Webcomic Weekend) was so lovely this weekend. I had fun, I had lovely conversations with readers who stopped by, and I got to meet a good number of webcartoonists who I really admire.

The talent in the room was truly awe-inspiring. For instance, the above picture I took of me at my table: right behind me is Jon Rosenberg of (Scenes from a Multiverse & Goats), and behind him is MC Frontalot, and at the end of the table is Kate Beaton. It was weird to realize that if that building suddenly crumbled, that the face of webcomics as we know it would change (don’t get any ideas, I’ve seen these folk arm wrestle, and you don’t want to mess with ‘em).

Anyhow, it was nice to finally get to hang out with Dave Kellett (Drive & Sheldon), to see Bill Barnes and Gene Ambaum (Unshelved) again. To meet Evan Dahm (Rice-Boy), Aaron Diaz (Dresden Codak), Dorothy Gambrell (Cat & Girl), Scott and Audra (Nemu Nemu), Bernie Hou (Alien Loves Predator), Karl Kerschl (The Abominable Charles Christopher), Spike (Templar, Arizona), Howard Tayler (Schlock Mercenary), & Sam Logan (Sam & Fuzzy). Of course, to see Dylan Meconis (Family Man) and Erika Moen (DAR) from the (these days) NW stomping grounds

And that’s not half the people I got to meet and talk with. AND I just realized Jon Allison (Bad Machinery) was there?!! Jon, I didn’t know, I only know that a few times I saw this guy walking about and thought “he is totally some young upstart imitating Jon Allison.” And come to find out, it was YOU!

And a last and most special thanks to the organizers, Jeffrey Rowland (Overcompensating) and Holly for all the work putting the con together as well as for running TopatoCo which has been so great to me. The indestructible Rich Stevens (Diesel Sweeties) and the unflappable Meredith Gran (Octopus Pie).

And now, it’s late, and I get to sleep.

Hope you all had a lovely Halloween and are enjoying the Day of the Dead. Happy day-after-Halloween tummy-ache. Happy anniversary to Dan and Leslie. And if you want a damn happy good read, go check out Emily Carroll‘s “Face All Red.”

And for those who read “Golden Age,” Ben dressed up as Growp. Nice job of hiding his beard under the turtleneck.

And this weekend come and say hello! I’ll be at the TopatoCo booth at NEWW.

Neat things these days. Ursula K LeGuin has begun blogging. Shaenon Garrity lists the Ten Things to Know about the Future of Comics. And my mind has now tasted Giga Pudding. I think there was more, but I’ve been preoccupied with nursing two cats back to health and a bit out of it.

me_kyle_field

In my real life, this past Thursday I went and saw the band Little Wings (opening, after Campfire OK, for Breathe Owl Breathe). And afterwards got to say hello to Kyle Field (who essentially IS Little Wings) and his guitarist for this tour, who’s name I forgot, but I think it is Brett Simundson. Both were super-nice and Brett took a picture of Kyle and I. It was really a pleasure, especially since these past few years I’ve been playing the Little Wings album “Magic Wand” more than any other album. If you wish to check them out, I suggest that album obviously, or their current tour with Breathe Owl Breathe:

Wednesday, Oct. 27 – Santa Barbara, CA @ Muddy Waters Café w/ Little Wings
Thursday, Oct. 28 – Los Angeles, CA @ Bootleg Theater w/ Little Wings
Friday, Oct. 29 – Phoenix, AZ @ Trunk Space w/ Little Wings
Saturday, Oct. 30 – Tucson, AZ @ Solar Culture w/ Little Wings

Oh, and have I mentioned I will be tabling with Topatoco at NEWW in Easthampton, MA in a week and a half (Nov 6th & 7th)? Well, I will be.
