GEM CITY COMIC CON 2009 was a couple weeks ago and I can’t say I have all that much to share regarding the show, but here goes:

I must say it went much better than I expected. I went last year and did so-so sales-wise so I was apprehensive to return. Not really sure what was different this year, but maybe it just needed a couple years to grow it’s legs.

The usual gang was there: Chuck Moore, Bill Gladman and John Wilson of ComicRelated.com. Darren and Jackie of Ringtail Cafe. Bob Hickey of Blue Line Pro. Jon Hodges. My neighbor at the show was Dustin Carson (he writes an interesting comic called NO GODS [Review at CR]).

I sold the crap out of my JESUS & TALKING BEAR tee shirts.

The Underground Video Network did a mini-interview with me where I gave my standard LACKLUSTER WORLD sales pitch. Here’s the vid. My segment starts around the 3:00 mark.

Like I said, it went better than I expected, so I’ll be returning next year.

For the past year or so, I’ve done a lot of research on a new graphic novel project that I shall henceforth refer to as “PL”.  One portion of said research includes pirate broadcasting and so I eventually found thispodcast called the PIRATES WEEK. It’s a weekly show that covers pirate radio related news and plays recordings of pirate radio broadcasts that aired each week.

The show’s producer, Ragnar Daneskjold, put out an appeal for any artist types in the audience to help him out with some art to attach to his iTunes listing.  I was feeling designy so worked up this little number for him and he’s putting it to use.

Here’s a few color variations:

I recently designed the new interface for ComicRelated.com and today the site went live. Check it out.

And yes that is a big LACKLUSTER WORLD graphic currently headlining the front page.
