Make sure to check out my former studiomate Becky Cloonan’s creator-owned stuff— it’s brilliant! Can’t wait for Demeter!

Hi guys! I’ve moved this shop over to a new domain, and combined it with a few friends- enter THE WEREHOUSE!

Not to fear- all orders that were made through my old Bigcartel site will be shipped this week- and if you haven’t received an order for some reason please email me- beckyattack@gmail.com, and I’ll sort out the problem asap!

I want to thank everybody for championing my self-published work, and sticking with me even though towards the last few months it got a little crazy— especially now that con season (and allergies) have kicked in!

The main reason for the new store is because I just can’t keep up with this stuff on my own. It’s grown way bigger than I ever thought possible! I am overwhelmed by the support you’ve shown me over the last few years, and I’m pleased to say that I’ve mailed out over 4,000 books in that time!!! This whole thing has been a huge learning experience, since I basically jumped into this without any idea of what to expect, and now I feel like I might kind of know what I’m doing! (More or less.) Now with the Lounak guys behind Werehouse, it’ll free up more of my time at the studio to getting comics drawn!

So check out the Werehouse. It’s got work by Andy Belanger, Karl Kerschl and a whole bunch of other stuff too. Some products have bene taken off to make way for new ones, and DEMETER has been added up as a preorder! (Exciting!)

I want to point out one big change that comes with the new store- I’m phasing out my silk screened covers, which will be replaced with a new, completely offset edition. This new printing will still be wicked nice- I’ve even updated the cover design of both Wolves and The Mire! The interiors won’t change- really this just makes the silk screened editions a little more “collectable,” whatever that means. :) Rest assured that you will still be getting a good quality book; I took a page from John Hammond’s playbook and spared no expense.

As for DEMETER pre-orders, there are two options- $10.00 for the screen printed cover, and $5.00 for the offset. (There is also a third $50.00 sketch edition available, that is limited to 100.) The extra color on the cover raised the price point- but it looks great and I have no regrets!

Any questions you guys have please feel free to ask- I’ll try to answer them as best I can! :D

Thank you, I love you!

Another pic from the studio’s DnD blog. I don’t know why, but drawing these elves and dwarves makes me happy :)

Backfire!

Upon encountering their long-sought rivals— the dread-sorcerer Malareth of the Black Robes and his unholy minions— the spell-weavers of the group, Melissa and Maxie, divined and executed a hasty plan.

No doubt inspired by Killgore’s dwarven inventivity, Melissa sprayed her lamp-oil over the undead foes and around the entire cell, while Maxie let lose a powerful rain of fire.

But alas, elven hands were made for embroidery and the plucking of flower petals, not for the gruesome work of warcraft, and the trap— however well planned— exploded in Melissa’s face.

It was up to the usually unscrupulous Arf Nads to pull Melissa from the blaze, and Killgore who, in full honor of his unerringly noble nature, held no grudge from the time that he and Melissa’s situations were reversed, doused her still smoldering body with cooling water to put out the flames.

With the enemy alerted to their presence and enraged at the ruin of his experiments, and their healer mere inches from death, the heroic adventurers found themselves suddenly needing a change in strategy…

Deathmatch comps came in the mail today! It kind of feels like cheating to get comps for just doing the covers— I bet this is how Greg Land feels! The insides by Carlos Magno and Paul Jenkins are actually even better. Really cool series!

Here are some inks of a couple of the Deadpool/Hawkeye pages appearing in the A+X story I’ve got coming out tomorrow.

You can check out the pencils here, and the colors here.

It’s an awesome story by Chris Hastings, with killer colors by Brad Anderson.

I should probably point out that the other story in the issue is written by Gerry Duggan and drawn by Salvador Larroca, and they ain’t so bad either, so make sure to grab yourself a copy!

Here’s the penciled version of those Deadpool/Hawkeye A+X preview pages for you process junkies. Since I was inking myself, I could get away with being a little sloppier.

It’s kind of different from my usual drawing style, but I totally love sketching this stuff from the studio’s DDnD blog http://dungeonsdragonsndrinking.tumblr.com/

When Our Powers Combine…

Thanks to Arf Nad’s reconnaissance, the band of adventurers catch a glimpse of a giant goblin officer patrolling the halls of the dungeon, and prepare to get the drop on him.

In preparation, Mellisa casts an Enchantment of the Storm on Killgore’s axe, making it even thirstier for the blood of villains. Today that thirst shall be quenched.

Here’s another pic of White Queen in her Phoenix Five form. When I first saw Olivier’s design for this, I thought, yeah, that’s going to be a popular con request….

C2E2: Graphic Storytelling: The Future Is Now - Comic Book Resources:

C2E2: Graphic Storytelling: The Future Is Now - The panel on interactive graphic storytelling at C2E2 began and ended with dramatic demonstrations of futuristic storytelling tools, as a variety of artists explained why working digitally is the way to go.

This is an article about a panel I was on at C2E2 talking about how digital tools effect the creation of comics. I was talking about publishing digitally with Power Play, but everyone had their own things that they used digital processes for. Anomaly was a great look at what a high-budget comic with all the bells and whistles can be.

For those who weren’t there, here’s the audio of the panel I was on at C2E2 with @MarkWaid @johnnystorm0 @JamesTheFourth and Peter Krause talking about utilizing the digital medium to advance the medium and make the best comics we can.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this, and to hear what digital comics you’ve been liking, and what more you’d like to see.

Keep the conversation going!

Power Play took over the Comixology booth at C2E2!

It’s awesome how supportive Comixology has been of Power Play and the other digital comics work I’ve done, and it’s great to see them showcasing my work so frequently as a prime example of what they offer, and what artists can do with their tech. At the con they had six tablets out showing comics, and three of them prominently displayed my artwork (two with Power Play, one with AvX which I couldn’t get in the same shot).

I vow not to rest until I’ve taken over all six!

Here’s a Deadpool commission I did. The guy asking for the piece was wearing a shirt with DP’s face on it, so I figured DP could reciprocate.

If you guys are looking for a commission from me (of DP wearing your face or otherwise), hit me up at C2E2 this weekend! I’ll be in artist’s alley at table S2.

Also, while I’m there I’ll be speaking on the Future of Graphic Novels panel at #C2E2 April 27. Stop by & join the conversation http://bit.ly/XuSkp7 !
