Ren’s got a point!
I think I forgot to mention in my last post that Release the Bats! is still available for preorder! For a cool ten bucks you get over 100 pages of short stories I’ve done over the past ten years from various anthologies, websites, and other randomness. I just approved the proof yesterday and now I have to pay the bill, so if you’re gonna preorder, now’s the time! All preordered copies will come signed with a sketch inside! Do it today! I will continue to accept preorders until the week before SPX, but the earlier you do it, the better!
How can you resist this handsome cover?
In other equally exciting news, I’ve got some cool SPX-related stuff to announce! Besides the obvious being-at-SPX-in-general stuff, I’m also MCing the Ignatz Awards for the second time this year! Be sure to come check it out, as I’ll have some fun surprises in store for everybody! And of course, afterward is the chocolate fountain, and who can resist that?
BUT THAT’S NOT ALL! I will also be on a panel that I’m sure will prove to be AMAZING! At 1pm on Saturday, Sept. 11th I’ll be on this super rad panel put together by the awesome Evan Dahm:
Comics and Worldbuilding
1:00 | Brookside Conference Room
This panel will consider the challenge of developing original settings for comics, individual artistic processes, and how the medium of comics is particularly well-suited to creating convincing invented worlds. Evan Dahm will lead a conversation with Liz Baillie, Aaron Diaz, Carla Speed McNeil and Spike Trotman.
How’s about that panel lineup, huh? I feel very honored to be on the same panel with comics worldbuilding luminaries such as those listed above! I have a lot to say about the world of Freewheel, so if you’re interesting in hearing about it (or any of the other artists on the panel of course) come check it out!
I’m still running with Team Comics to raise money for Women for Women’s Congo Program on September 25th! Go here to donate if you haven’t already! As I mentioned before, I also have some friends running to help find a cure for breast cancer with the Race for Cure (the same weekend as SPX, which is why I’m not running with them). You can also donate to their team, Warriors Mobilizing Against Cancer if you are so inclined, or if you feel more drawn to the cause.
See you at SPX! Only two weeks left! EEP.
Also it’s my big brother’s birthday today! Happy birthday Alec!
