February 2012

That's page one of Code Red #2.  The book is action-packed and features your favorite kick-ass redhead, April Hunter, as Red - a mercenary on the trail of terrorists and arms dealers.  It will premiere at Horror Hound Weekend next month.  April will be on hand to sign copies.  Don't miss that show.  It's bound to be bonkers. 

New music reviews for your enjoyment...

I have two new music reviews at Outlaw Magazine.  One is for Witch Mountain's South of Salem album (a great doom metal record) and the other is for Spindrift's Classic Soundtracks Volume 1 (amazing spaghetti western space rock).

My next convention is...

Horror Hound Columbus March 23-25, 2012.  Jay Fife, April Hunter, and I will be there.  I'm still hoping to talk Michelle Shields, pro-wrestler / model Rain Maxson, Nicole McClain, and Tim Vigil to come to the show.  I've also updated my convention schedule below to include some tentative dates. 

Don't forget the Pickle Press blog and my Twitter account...

I keep the Pickle Press blog more often than the website here (although I've been remiss lately), so be sure to check it for more photos and weekly updates of my various projects and convention appearances.  I also joined the modern era and have a Twitter account (@NikHavert), so you can catch me there as well.

Book news...

I've lettered all but two pages of Code Red #2.  As soon as those pages are colored, I'll knock out the final lettering and then format some gorgeous pictures April sent me for the book.  Then, it's off to the printer to have it ready for Horror Hound Columbus.  More artwork has come in for More Tentacle Love and it's fantastic.

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