Science fiction anthology

The D.C. Conspiracy is gearing up for another anthology, this time tackling science fiction. Below is a page from the eight-page story I'm working on. I've got the plot set but still need to work on the details.

Sketches for upcoming projects

Here are a couple of sketches I did for two upcoming projects I'm working on with Carol. The black and white illos incorporate the new style I'm playing with. The other one I'm toying with a minimal number of colors.

FCBD pics!

Below are a few pics from yesterday's Free Comic Book signing at Beyond Comics' shop in Gaithersburg, Md. That's me, Andrew Cohen and Dale Rawlings in that group pic.

Free Comic Book Day Signing!

I'll be participating in Free Comic Book Day May 3 at Beyond Comics in Gaithersburg, Md. (The store is hosting other D.C. Conspiracy members as well, at the Gaithersburg store and its Frederick shop).

Andrew Cohen (who pencils Spadefoot) will also be signing at the store!

Please stop by if you're in the area to say hello and pick up some free comics!

ISR interview on 'Mr. Big'

Check the Indie Spinner Rack podcast for interviews with Day Prize nominees at the Small Press and Alternative Comics Expo (SPACE) in Columbus, Ohio, last month. It Includes a chat with Carol and Matt Dembicki of Mr. Big, which won the Day Prize. Matt also talks a little about the upcoming Trickster anthology.

Eisner nod

The Postcards anthology, for which I wrote the short horror story "Send Louis His Underwear" (and illustrated by Trickster contributor and Canada's favorite comic-book illustrator Jason Copland) is up for an Eisner in the anthology catagory. If you're eligible to vote, take a look at the book and see if you think it's worthy of the top prize.

Writing for Comics panel

Tomorrow, the Writer's Center (a few miles up Wisconsin Ave. from D.C.) is having a free panel discussion on writing for comics. They have two 6-week classes teaching the subject beginning April 22nd, an entry-level and a more advanced one.

I'll be on the panel, talking mainly about self-publishing. My D.C. Conspiracy colleague Jason Rodriguez and Chris Piers, who will teach the courses this spring, will give a preview of the class.
