August 2010

So, yeah, GlamourCon Chicago was a good time.

Thanks  to everyone who stopped by the Pickle Press table at GlamourCon Chicago.  It was, as always, a fun show.  I was lucky enough to have a table between my pal Taylor Wane and Playmate of the Year 1978 Debra Jo Fonden.  How cool is that?  Taylor was her usual frisky, fiery self and Debra Jo was a delight to meet and chat with all weekend.  I also got to participate in my first glamour photo shoot with none other than international model / adult film star Aria Giovanni.

Vanna Marie and Manna were moving the copies of Sun and Moon at their table, and Tentacle Love artist Philo managed to stop by for a short time.  I made some good new connections there and may have a couple new projects as a result.



My next convention is...

I'll be attending Wizard World Chicago / the Chicago Comic Con (I'm not sure of the official name anymore) this Sunday August 22nd.  I'm going to see friends and look for writing gigs.  The next show I'm working will be the Mid-Ohio-Con , unless a small one-day show pops up that I can work without much travel trouble.  Let me know if you hear of any such shows within six hours driving time from north central Indiana.  

Ikasucon in Fort Wayne, Indiana was interesting.  I was there July 16th.  The dealer / exhibitor room was small and quiet.  There was a lot of open space, but that could be because it was the first year Fort Wayne hosted the show.  I talked with some of the show's staff and impressed them with the fact that I could set up at their show next year with two hentai books.

I'm on Myspace Videos.

I was interviewed by the good folks at Psychobabble TV at GlamourCon Chicago.  They have a fun local program going and I highly encourage you to check them out.  You can find my interview here.

Rocket Girl #1 sells out.

If you didn't get a copy of the original Rocket Girl #1, you're out of luck.  They're all gone.  You'll have to wait for the reprint from Bad Place Productions.  The Three Keys #2 is almost sold out as well, so put in your order while you can.

Other book news...

Artwork has begun on The Sixth and it looks great so far.  I'm almost done editing Ava Rose's Future Noir and Shadow Woman #1 starring Chicago model / actress Michelle Shields.  I also have begun editing Tantra #1 starring Indiana model Madison Martin. 

A lot of my short erotica is now on Sienna Sinclaire's website.  If you join her site you can read some of my naughty short fiction! 

There are updates on the Titles page in the "Future Titles" section.  Look for the UPDATED! markings.

Looking for work or more about me?

If you are a penciller, inker, and/ or colorist, please feel free to check out the "Future titles from Pickle Press" part of the Titles page for job opportunities with Pickle Press.  I will post the current state of various projects that need drawn, inked, and/or colored.  If you're looking for work with Pickle Press, that will be the place to find it.  

Please let me know if you'd like to be on the Pickle Press e-mailing list to receive updates about my projects.  My blog has at least bi-weekly updates of how my various projects are rolling along, and my Comicspace page has a lot of artwork there.  I will be posting all new artwork from my books there, and convention photographs are now on my Myspace page.  

You can use this page to get to all of those links and to find out about my various published works and the people with whom I have created these things.  I hope you will continue to support Pickle Press and indie comics.
