This week is my last
convention of the year and it's the huge New York Comicon!!! NYCC is amazing
and anyone who has not attended the show before really needs to try to go. In
my opinion, this show is second only to San Diego Comicon. It's a great
experience! This year myself and Neverminds artist Jamie Fay have a lot going
on! In addition to that, my new original graphic novel, BUGGED, is in Diamonds
Previews this month and will also be available at NYCC.
First, here is the
ordering info for BUGGED. The book is 96 pages and full color for $12.99. You
can read early rave reviews already from Ain't It Cool News and Comic
Buzz, here and here. Then just go to your local comic
store and ask them to preorder the book for you. Tell them the item number is
OCT131154. It's that easy! But please note that it's for mature readers.
I'll be at NYCC along
with Jamie Fay at table numbers N12 and N13. Please come by and say hello and
check out all the great stuff we have.
On Thursday
(10/10/13) at NYCC, I'll be on a panel sponsored by Times Out and Geeks Out.
The panel started from last years NY Times diversity event started by Jamie
Fay. The response was so good that the NY Times' Times Out group wanted to do
the event again. They invited Daniel Ketchum, Majorie Liu and myself back based
on response from people who attended. Then Jamie decided to contact NYCC about
doing the event at the convention and seeing if they were interested. They were
very interested and the panel was quickly approved. Since this is the first
Times Out event not at the Times building and since it's such a bigger platform,
the Times Out group allied themselves with Geeks Out and are now co-sponsoring
the panel! The guest will be Greg Pak, Marjorie Liu, Daniel Ketchum, Dan Parent
and myself. The NY Times Book Review staff editor, Jude Biersdorfer will be the
moderator. The panel will be in Hall 1A14 from 6:15pm to 7:15pm. If you are
able to, please stop by!
On the panel, I'll be
talking about Neverminds' member, Samanya. And I'm proud to announce that the
incredible Jay Justice will be cosplaying Samanya at the show! How cool is
that? Anyone who knows Jay and has seen her work, knows how professional and
great her cosplaying is. I can't wait to see her in character and walking
around. I know it's going to be unbelievable! She's be appearing as Samanya on
Thursday and Sunday.
At the show, we'll be
selling copies of all of the Drumfish Production titles: SENTINELS, SENTINELS
ANTHOLOGY, NEVERMINDS and BUGGED!
And in addition to
those, we'll have all the Drumfish figurines on display. Alanis Munroe,
Firebomb, Samanya and Templar will all be available and if interested, ask us
about our convention special for them! We won't have copies of Nina and Splash
available, but will be taking pre-orders for them and have the prototypes there
for display.
I'll be selling lots
of original art at the show (as I have in previous years), but I cut back a bit
in my pre-made headshots. I will have a lot of other original art that is hand
colored and even some of the original art that I made into prints. But my new
focus is on my new style prints. Seen below. I don't have many of them done,
but I'm really proud of the ones that are. I plan to make many more of these in
the coming months. (send suggestions!) I have to give a HUGE thanks to Danielle
Alexis St. Pierre and Maja Cronval for their amazing colors on the new prints.
I couldn't have done theses without them and their artistic perfection! (we'll
miss you at NYCC this year too, Danielle (and Nathan!)).
And finally, it's
been such a business few months that I haven't really said a proper thank you
to all the people we've met at the last two shows (Baltimore and Pittsburgh).
It was a pleasure meeting all of you and you helped make both of those show a
really great experience and huge success! I only hope that NYCC is just as
great. THANK YOU!!!
