So while I’m in between freelance projects I’m hitting the Senryu pages hard and fast, vowing to do a page a day until it’s finished and ready to print.
To see it and more be sure to look for Senryu in participating comic shops December 30th.
So as you know I?ve been planning on getting my book Senryu out for Indy Comic Book Week, and have been posting previews and progress here and on the ICBW blog.
As you might also know my Space-Gun studios mates Jake Ekiss, Vinh Luan Luu and Paul Milligan and I have been pushing really hard on the Indy Comic Book Week front, and are really excited about the opportunity to get our books into stores.

Well due to circumstances beyond my control Senryu is now in jeopardy of not making it to the shelves on December 30th. I had a very large freelance project get pushed back until after the New Year, and as such it leaves very little room in the budget for essentials, much less printing costs for a comic that, no matter how well recieved, is guaranteed to lose money.
So, while I don?t like to beg, I?m going to start a PayPal fund raising event for printing and shipping costs and see how it goes. My goal? A whopping $300US to cover printing costs and shipping to as many participating stores as possible. The deadline to send the files to print is November 15th.
Anyone who donates more than $25 will get a copy of the book mailed to them with a nice thank you note. I?ll end up donating original art and other goodies to folks who participate as well. More on that later.
Donations can be made via PayPal to soulcoredot (at) gmail.com.
Shameless PayPal Donate button below for your enjoyment!
Thanks in advance to everyone who’s followed my progress so far and offered advice and support, you guys rock. Now let’s see if we can get this thing into stores!
And just for visitng, here’s another preview page.
Indy Comic Book Week has taken off more than we could have ever hoped, and with the TWAYKI graphic novel finished I’ve had some time to focus on side gigs and pet projects.
Below is my page for One Night Stand entitled Daydreamer. It’s a mini comic being put together by David Hopkins for ICBW.
ONE NIGHT STAND is a collection of one-page stories, all about “casual encounters.” This mini-comic will explore sex and intimacy, guilt and anonymity, risk and fantasy.
I’ll be working on Senryu next while I wait for my next day-job script to come in. I’ll be finishing it up this week and getting it ready for Indy Comic Book Week as well.
Stay tuned.
Testing out the WordPress iPhone app with the new blog setup. If all goes as planned below you should see my penciled contribution to David Hopkins‘ Indy Comic Book Week project One Night Stand.
Written by David Hopkins, ONE NIGHT STAND is a series of one-page vignettes, a collaboration with 32 artists – centered around a theme of casual sex and brief intimate encounters.
Be sure and pick it up come Indy Comic Book Week.
So I had promised a day 2 DCC wrap-up, but was unfortunately struck down Sunday night by the dreaded con-cough. Only gastrointestinal. Or maybe it was the Golden Chick. Ughn.
Instead of a blog post wrap-up I?ve got a sort of homage to the con in progress at the moment and will post that in the next few days.In the meantime it?s back to the day job (making comics) and blog posting (now that I?ve caught up with all the work I missed being sick Monday) so without further ado I give you a relatively new piece that hasn?t been posted yet, Black Bolt from the Inhumans.
More to come, for now it?s back to this weeks batch of pages.
Thanks to a clever domain name squatter Soulcore.net was temporarily knocked offline. After much heated negotiations and lawyerly threats I’m back up and running, but lost a few blog posts in the process.
I’ll be adding back in the content that was lost, so please bear with me if you’ve gotten old or double posts in your feed, I should be back up and running as normal in no time at all.
