Hopeless Halloween

I've been busy and as soon as I get a little further along on some projects, I'll be back to posting regularly.

For now, enjoy the Hopeless Family Halloween photo:

Deal with it.

Cranky Again.

I know. I know.

I've been working but don't have anything new to announce yet so it has been silent running. The moment something gets closer or something new becomes official, I promise to type your ears off.

For now, have another dose of me on CrankCast.

Back as soon as possible. I assure you.

Not dead

So, um... I've been away.

I took a vacation and cleared my head for a bit but I'm back writing and will have new stuff up soon.

Sorry for the long delay.

Questions and Answers

So...

Mike has started drawing some The Answer pages. He's a busy man and it could still be a while before we get these out but I'm in love with what he's doing and wanted to share it.

PUH-LOW!

I still can't believe I'm working with this guy. He's a bad mofo with a pencil.

Bearing Fruit

I've started getting art in on a project I wrote well over a year ago. It took a while to get this one running but I'm really liking what the artist is rocking out.

Awesomely enough, after waiting so long to get it going, we may have found a publisher based on the first 4 completed pages. In my experience, pitching is never this easy. I guess sometimes patience is rewarded.

Anyway, it's a guns and ghosts action book called Safe House. The artist is Aaron Gillespie, the protagonist is (believe it or not) a DUDE and I'll be posting more as it develops.

Take a look:

Planet Hopeless

I will be a guest at the Planet Comicon in Overland Park this weekend ao anyone in the KC Metro area should stop by and say hi.

None of my new projects are out yet but Kevin and I will be selling GearHead trades, Zombies with Guns t-shirts, prints and the like. We should have sample pages from Cupid and various other sneek peaks as well.

For a list of all the guests go to:

Finally

So, I finished scripting the final chapter of Cupid yesterday. I'm sure there will be some rewriting to do but for now I get to smile in relief and put the last 2 years worth of work to bed for a while. Great feeling.

More later...

I love the movie 'Nothing But Trouble.'

Kyle Strahm apparently owns the DVD (something I would have guessed impossible.) After a brief google image search, I just learned that someone out there owns something even more inexplicably rad. Nothing tops this:

Some People Say the Nicest Things

It has been a while, I know. Gotta do better.

Sorry.

I just got back from a weekend in Joplin. Kevin, Kyle Strahm and I drove down to attend a comic convention put on by our good friends The Hurley Bros. We had a great time, ate too much, drank too much, slept in Jeremy Haun's attic and laughed more than I can accurately describe.

One of the other gentlemen sleeping in Jeremy's attic was a gentleman named Scott. Scott and his friend got very little sleep because of us. Scott should hate us and everything we do. I would be surprised to read in Scott's blog about how juvenile and disrespectful the three of us were. If you'd made me guess, I would have said Scott threw away the copy of GearHead we gave him.

I would have been wrong.

Ran across this blog in my weekly vanity googling:

So, in recap: Thanks to the Hurleys for a great con. Thanks to the Hauns for their hospitality. And a special thanks to Scott for his kind words and forgiving nature.

More blogs to come. Art too.
