Darkseid sketch from Free Comic Book Day

Sunday, May 8th, 2011

I was fortunate enough to be invited to hang at Phantom of the Attic Comics yesterday for Free Comic Book Day. I had a great time meeting comic book readers and selling my comics to countless unfortunate victims. (Not to mention giving away over 60 Stick Cats maxi-comics and 45 CDs of the theme song (which I'll post tomorrow)).

One especially unlucky comic book fan won a raffle of my work, including prints from A Deadpool A Day and Green Thursdays... as well as an IOU for a free superhero stick figure sketch.




My apologies to the unsuspecting guy who took home this sketch. Hope you don't hate it! And thx to Seth Fronzoli for the photos.

FCBD 2011, Fleeting Pages, Indie Book Event Voting, More

Friday, May 6th, 2011

Oh man so much stuff going this weekend!!! Here we go:

FCBD 2011

- Tomorrow, I'll be at Phantom of the Attic Comics in Oakland (in Pittsburgh!) for Free Comic Book Day 2011. I'l be giving out FREE Stick Cats maxi-comics and the first lucky 45 peeps will also take home a copy of the brand new Stick Cats theme song by Nik Furious!!! And, of course, you can buy my comics from me as well.

- This weekend is also the opening of Fleeting Pages, a Pittsburgh indie book store experiment that's only minutes away from my front door. They'll be selling almost all of my self-published comics as well as my digital comic cards. Swing by to check out all the awesome small press and self-published works they have... and buy my books!

- Speaking of indie books, you may remember a video I posted a few weeks ago that I made to win a free table at this summer's Indie Book Event in NYC. Well voting is now open and I NEED YOUR VOTES! There's only two of us in running, so pls help snag the table -- VOTE NOW!

- Unrelated from all of this, my version of the cover to Aquaman #2 was recently featured on the Rejected by Covered blog. It's a pretty ugly drawing, so click through at your own risk.

- And, finally, Super Haters has received a couple of awesome reviews lately. If you're interested, you can read them here.

SPACE 2011, Carnegie Library Talk, Passage

Friday, March 18th, 2011

from Passage by Nick Marino

- This weekend I'll be at SPACE in Columbus selling my self-published comics (and comic cards!). One such comic is a brand new offering from me, a mini-comic called Passage. I'm not gonna say anything else about it right now except that it's a raw sci-fi tale with a twist.

- The day after SPACE (Monday, March 21st), I'll be back in Pittsburgh but still promoting my comics when I give a talk in the teen/comics section of the Carnegie Library in Oakland at 6:30 PM. The graphic novel discussion group is called Out of the Gutter, and my talk (with Shawn Atkins) is called Using Every Piece of the Cow (DISCLAIMER: no cows were harmed in the making of this lecture). We'll be sharing our work, discussing our process, and tap dancing to Steal Away by Robbie Dupree (DISCLAIMER: I'm lying about the tap dancing).
