I didn’t come into the Studio this weekend so I had no scanner access, but here, better late than never, are this year’s Hourly Comics! (You can pick up on my salami jokes by reading last year’s installment right here.) Busy, busy times, but a whole lot of fun.
Those of you who follow me on various platforms around the Internet will doubtless know that I drew a little silent, supernatural story for Cloudscape Comics last month. Their full, ocean-themed anthology won’t be out till next year (boo), but they’ve been kind enough to let me share the story with you here on my site (yay!). The drawings are by yours truly and the story was penned by Shannon Campbell, the brains behind VanCAF (where, incidentally, I’ll be exhibiting again next year!). But enough talk. On with the comics!
So yesterday may have been the worst possible day to do hourly comics (so stressful, so busy), but I had a BLAST. And since this is the second year I’ve done Hourly Comic Day, I guess this means I’ve been running this BLOG for over a year. Dang. Thank you all for your support and enthusiasm!
Until next year…
Hey world! This post is chock full of news. CHOCK FULL. STAND BACK.
First: did some hourly comics for Hourly Comics Day this year. First time trying this, made my inner critic scream with rage, which probably means it’s the sort of thing I should do every day in order to get over myself. Also: cheated and stopped at 8, since the rest of the night was just dancing dancing dancing until midnight and beyond. Anyway: HERE. I MADE THESE FOR YOU.
Oh man. So that. ALSO: Our Monday night World Comics class at the IPRC has started a blog for your enjoyment [that is now defunct so I’ve removed the link]! We’ll be chronicling our adventures and projects there over the next couple months, so check it out. Good things to be had so far, and there will only be more in the weeks to come.
FINALLY: I forgot to mention this when it happened a couple weeks ago, but Baggywrinkles Issue 1 is now actually physically available in a real live comic shop! If you live in the Portland area and would like to get your hands on a copy sans shipping, head over to the totally awesome world of Guapo Comics! They have a few issues in stock, and will be getting the second volume as soon as I finish it. I am, as we speak, slowly working up the gumption to go around to some of the other rad establishments in our fine city, so hopefully that list will expand in the next couple weeks.
I think that’s it for now, but hoo boy. Stay tuned. Shit’s going to get crazy over the next few weeks.
