Calvin fucked up

Hey everybody, it has come to my attention that some orders for Ramble On! have slipped through the cracks and have not been fulfilled. Blame the UI clusterfuck that is yahoo mail, where I can't even tell the difference between a Zimbabwean Trying to Scam Me vs. Somebody Actually Trying to Give me Cash Monies. I have since changed my paypal inbox to my gmail account where I will be super alert and vigilant about orders because of the clean UI and excellent spam filter.

I sent some of the delinquent orders out this morning with some extra goodies as an apology, so if I have inadvertently scammed you out of your $4, please contact me!

Electric Ant #2

Hey dudes, I will be at APE this weekend (BANG GANG table) with a zine called "COMIX QUEST"-- it's basically a collection of older comics with a common sci/fi fantasy bent. 

I'll also be there to support my pal Ryan's new perfect bound zine ELECTRIC ANT for which I did a handful of drawings. I took a look at it on the plane back from SPX and I can vouch for it's kickassitude-- the theme was BODY HORROR. Forgive me if posterous fudges the below HTML but this is the "buy" link:

DS-10 Ringo, Te Amo (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah) !

  
(download)

Recently I discovered this great Cher paean to the least understood Beatle via Hellen (from the 60s: Ringo, I Love You) and I decided to cover it on my DS-10. It's not the whole song (i ran out of memory for patterns) but it's most of it. The Kraftwerk-esque breaks were artistic license of course. There's a new version of the DS-10 coming out in September that doubles the amount of Analog Synths you can have and doubles the drum sounds. Only for the DSi unfortunately though :(

In NYC this week for MoCCA!

I'll be showing this Kirby inspired piece + two older pieces at the Panelists show at GRNY on Saturday, as well as the MoCCA comics fest this weekend for the first time ever! This trip is mostly for leisure and mostly came out of a series of happy coincidences so I didn't prepare any new stuff, but I'll be selling Ramble On! and the Game Over/Continue Fake Instruction Manual I made for Stumptown a month ago. Hellen and I will be demoing the game we made again, but only for as long as my Macbook battery lasts (3 hours or so) since apparently at the Armory you literally are not allowed to put a plug into another plug.

"FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Group Art Show Opening/Book Receptions
Panelists V June 6 - June 24, 2009 Reception: Saturday, June 6, 2009 at 6:30 p.m. Giant Robot Gallery 437 East 9th Street Between 1st Ave. & Ave. A, in the East Village New York, New York 10009
(212) 674-GRNY (4769) | grny.net Giant Robot is proud to present the Panelists V art show and as well as a reception for three new comic books at the Giant Robot Gallery in the East Village.

The follow-up to the popular series puts a spotlight on indie-comics creators from across the country, ranging from stapled-and-folded stars of DIY to art-gallery superstars. The show will feature original illustrations, paintings, mixed-media work, and special surprises from an assortment of contributors--including many Eisner and Ignatz Award nominees and winners. This event coincides with the Museum of Comics and Cartoon Art Festival."


If you're in the area, stop by!  We are at table 810 with Damien Jay, and Corrine Mucha.

Too much fallout?

So originally this was just gonna be a regular ol' picture of an ancient japanese horror skeleton but I had to put all the post apocalyptic/anachronistic stuff in. For an upcoming zine.

Podcasty

Last week Hellen and me ate bean dip and gabbed on the Comics Claptrap with our friends Rina and Thien, ostensibly about comics but mostly about random stuff like cheese filled hot dogs and mongolian hot pot.

listen if you wanna, there's some shoutouts to EAZ contribs Derek and Jenn somewhere in there.
