I was slightly more productive in February than January. I'm not sure how, as the month flew by (even with the extra day in it this year) and I felt busy all the time. As usual, blogging produces most of my words.

That's about two books in a year and is more than I thought I'd written. It's also the first time I remember cracking 100,000 words in one year. Combining blogging and working on books adds up quick.

( Read more...Collapse )Believe it or not, I'm still making comics. They just take a lot longer nowadays. Here's a preview of some art from my pulp hero comic, The Truth #1, by Beezzz Studio.
What's happening? Is the Trapster attacking that man? More art coming soon!
In the meantime, I'm also writing two non-fiction books, another comic script, and getting art done on a horror graphic novel. The ideas, thankfully, never end.
Keep it indie.

...I don't know who they are or what adventure they were offering. I got a postcard from England, but it looked like this by the time it arrived.

More pencil art for The Hammer Killer has arrived. Things are heating up in the story by now.
Great work as always by Ricardo Arreola. More brutal action to come!
As the headline mentions, there's a good chance I'll be attending a new convention in a couple months. I've been offered a free pass to Atlanta's famous Dragon Con. I'm working out the travel plans now, but the outlook appears good. I doubt I'll be selling any Pickle Press stuff there, but that could change. I'll keep you posted.
I'm also in the early stages of two new adults only comic book projects. One, called Treasures, features adult film stars and "cam girls" Camilla Carson and Maya Rue, as well as Chris Curve, and the other, called Fierce, stars professional bodybuilder / dominatrix / aerial performer Layla Mikayla. I have the plots written for both and have started on the Treasures script. Keep your eyes open for these.
And keep it indie.
It's a day to celebrate wayward travelers like "Wrong Way" Corrigan, a 1930s stunt pilot who got lost when his plane's navigation system went out and he ended up in Ireland twenty-eight hours later. Why not celebrate by watching this animated film about another wayward traveler?
A new episode of "Tea and a Trailer" is coming soon!
Stay weird.
