Comic-Con'd

What a crazy San Diego! Things at the Topatoco booth were crazier than ever. And of course, at the same time as I was meeting readers there, I was managing the Omnibus kickstarter, which has also gone crazy! We are now over 100k, with a crazy new ending secured and a bunch of other wild stuff coming down the pipe. Yow!

Something else cool that happened at Comic-Con... Shiftylook announced the new webcomic that Shannon and I will be making for them! It is based on a pretty obscure old title, Tower of Babel, and they've given us a lot of freedom to reinterpret it into something really cool! Shannon is writing it and I am drawing it, and we're really looking forward to sharing it with you all later this year. But in the meantime, here's a peek at some of the concept art I drew of the core cast:



All right! Time to rest up for the trek home. See you on Wednesday, team!

The Monolith: Comic-Con Edition

Yow! Comic-Con is crazier than ever! But I've been having a lot of fun over at booth #1229, meeting lots of fans and educating lots of newbies.

I've also been working on a new tier for our kickstarter! It's the MONOLITH: COMIC-CON EDITION -- a version of our hardcover edition that comes with one random, original marker illustration of Fuzzy cosplaying, drawn during this year's comic-con! (And often inspired by attendees and reader suggestions.)



I think it's a fun way to offer more of our artist edition monoliths without overburdening myself post-kickstarter. While you don't get to choose your character with this tier, you do get a surprise one-of-a-kind piece of original art. And no two costumes are the same! I've opened up 35 of these editions to start, and I'll add a few more in the morning to give folks in different timezones a crack at 'em.

Anyhow, I'd better start resting up for the next three days of San Diego madness! Good night, team.

Stan Diego

I am in San Diego, getting ready for this year's Comic-Con! Are you at San Diego Comic-Con? Then come see me at the Topatoco Booth! (AKA: booth #1229.)

I wanted to draw a few fun stand-alone strips to run while I was away, and (probably because I've been working so much on the Omnibus kickstarter), I was feeling nostalgic and decided to check in on some old, long-absent faces. (Sort of.)

Speaking of said kickstarter, I added a new one-off tier today with another big piece of original art... the Noosehead Omnibus' back cover art, featuring said band rocking out. I also added two more of the "completionist" tier, if anyone was hoping to score some of the last copies of my old mini-books.

I know what a lot of you guys really want is for me to open up more of the Monoliths! They are limited only by my ability to draw so many pictures for everyone's books, but I think I may have figured out a way to make one more batch. More on that on Friday!
