Grinder - January 9th

2010 will kick off with a bang. On Saturday, January 9th, I will have a table at Grinder, the creative art expo in Lafayette. I will be selling comics and more comics. I have brand new editions of "Guns McMenamin: Just Another Thursday" printed (and bound correctly!!) that will be for sale as well as plenty of copies of "Like That."

If you have never been to Grinder in Lafayette, then what the heck is wrong with you? There's vendors selling everything from original art to comics to jewelry and did I mention COMICS? There will be live art by Kody Chamberlain (who draws a bad ass comic about Trace Adkins) and Rob Guillory (artist of Chew, one of the hottest books out right now). No excuses people! It's only 45 minutes from Baton Rouge, it is during the day (for you maw maw's that don't drive after dark), and it is a non-smoking facility. Also, it is being held in conjunction with the city's ArtWalk that happens every second saturday of the month. Art will be all up in your grill! Just check out the poster!

Louisiana Book Festival - New Release!

Next Saturday, October 17th, the Louisiana Book Festival will be going down outside the State Capital. It's been a couple of years since I've been an exhibitor, but we are back with a new book, "Guns McMenamin: A Day in the Life" (cover pictured below). It will be your first chance to purchase the new comic. We will be sharing a table with Sentient Studios, who will be selling their collection of poetry. To find us, we'll be at an outdoor table on the walkway from Fourth Street to the Capital building (the hedges).

If you are unfamiliar with the Louisiana Book Festival, it won't be just hacks like me, there will be real exhibitors and authors too. Check out The Advocate's extensive preview: http://www.2theadvocate.com/entertainment/magazine/63323327.html.

SPX 2007 Report

Christin and I represented ICON Studios at the Small Press Expo (SPX) last week in Maryland. We were there selling copies of Like That as well as promoting our new webcomic, M.O.P.S. The show was smaller than I expected but still the largest comic centric show we’ve exhibited at yet. It was a little larger than Staple! in terms of number of exhibitors and floor space, but there many wasn’t that many more attendees which was a bit disappointing. We didn’t sell that many more copies of Like That than we did at Staple! this past March. There were enough people that we handed out all of our M.O.P.S. cards and stickers. We received a lot of great feedback on the project which we hope will translate into more site traffic. We probably won’t do SPX next year because for the price, we can do an even bigger show like WonderCon or ComicCon. Our next shows will be on consecutive November weekends: Nov 3rd at the Louisiana Book Festival and Nov 10th at the New Orleans Book Fair.

Busy Week

There's quite a bit going on this week. First, the new issue of Tiger Weekly came out today and it features an article by Jason Andreasen on Art Lounge and ICON Studios. For those of you that don't know, Art Lounge is a weekly fusion of local art and music, upstairs at the Roux House every Tuesday night. Music by DJ OTTO (plus more live music on the patio @ 10pm). Not to mention $2 Corona, $3 margaritas, and $5 tequila shots.


Read the article here:

Not only that, but Saturday (Sept 8th) me, Christin and several other ICON members will be in Lafayette for Grinder 2.0. Grinder: Creative Arts Expo is a gathering of creative individuals in an effort to inform, educate and inspire the creative spirit. We will be one of the featured exhibitors, and we'll be selling copies of Like That, t-shirts, & prints. We will also be premiering our newest venture, M.O.P.S., a monthly web comic strip launching in September. We will be giving away free M.O.P.S. promotional items as well as unveiling the M.O.P.S. website (http://www.wefightdirty.net) to the public for the first time. If you get sick of tailgating, you must come out and be one of the first humans ever to see our newest, most ambitious project to date.



Just a reminder: Art Lounge, Every Tuesday night, The Roux House

First Reorder

This past weekend I received my first reorder for Like That. So I want to thank Jim Hanely's Universe in Manhattan for selling a lot of my books. If you are in New York, go down to West 33rd Street and buy a copy of Like That so they can put in an unprecedented third order! Speaking of New York, there is also another comic shop in Manhattan that started carrying the book: Forbidden Planet on Broadway.
