In other news, I’m coloring and writing. Coloring a new short story and writing another “feature length” strip.

Hear ye, hear ye!

From here on out, the Olde Towne Shoppe is now the Olde Towne Chamber of Commerce — buy all your swag there or get on the bandwagon with a banner exchange (please inquire).

Well, sorta. But, these are two pieces I piddled with during down time over Heroes Con weekend.

Bring home some southern hostility with the first volume of Rachel Rage on sale at www.oldetownecomix.com/shop.html

Rachel Rage: Heartland is collected in two versions — a 192-page deluxe color edition for $25 or a black and while 176-page edition.

Rod Buddah at Planet Griffin weighs in on the completed Rachel Rage story here. 

And, order your very own copy here. 

Reviews — good or bad — are posted under the As Seen On links.

First, how do you like this whipped-up version of the Black Lantern logo? Much, much better.

Whew.

Y’know, after all these years attending HeroesCon as a fan, it’s weird seeing the show with all the seams showing — Thursday night with the walls opened and Sunday as everybody is packing up and hauling carts of long boxes.

It’s like seeing somebody naked, somebody you should never, ever see.

Sunday was spent selling a few books last minute and returning the favor hitting small press peeps at the last minute, too.

Only mainstream books purchased were $5 Essential Marvel Universe to travel as reference material.

Good show. Really good show. And, much, much, much different being on the other side of the table.

Now it’s time to promise keep, follow up and…good lord… mow the lawn.

Whew. The longest of the three days. Having a great time at the show.

Today, I finally met Jay Potts of www.worldofhurtonline.com who wasn’t behind the table but as a convention goer (that’s gotta change quick like).

Got to meet more of the Dollar Bin podcast crew today. They are one of my three comic podcasts I ritually listen and hail from South Carolina — www.thedollarbin.net. Best quote ever when I handed them a bar of the soap “What…the hell?!?”

Worked on two drawings.

Sold fewer Rachel Rage Vol. 1 collections than Friday, but more soap was sold. Word is quickly getting out — and, if you know somebody who bought a bar, ask ‘em about the prototype for the second wave.

I’m looking forward to Sunday as far as purchases goes. I’ve been holding back shopping small press during the busier days to man my portion of the Mixed Media booth, but I’m itching to pick up some new stuff.

Maaaaaaaaaaaan, we have a good, good location at HeroesCon. Sold some books. Finally met Rod Buddah of www.planetgriffin.blogspot.com — he’s a damn fine salesman. I picked a few pointers. And, Raymond Sanders of Fantasy Art Comics and Erik Williams who is producing work for Jester Press.

With all the chatting, I didn’t get much drawing done, but one piece that’s destined for the ‘10 sketchbook.

People seem to be scoping out the small press guys. I’m guessing the Friday crowd are the hardcore fans seeking autographs and lining up first dibs on drawings from the pro artists. And, more than likely, they are the two or three-day convention goers planning out their spending attacks.

Saturday will be the largest day. Fingers crossed.

I’m actually itching to spend some $$$$ in the small press area but I’m holding out until Sunday.

The Rachel Rage collected edition debuts this weekend at HeroesCon in Charlotte, N.C. 

Two editions are available the 192-page full-color version or the 176-page black and white — both include the complete and unabridged web comic seen.

Also, limited prints and Rachel Rage Scented Soap will be on sale at the convention.

I’m sharing a booth with Bitter TEA Studios, Jester Press and Postmortem Studios under an umbrella name of Mixed Media — we’re NOW located in Booth 657.

My location on the convention map is circled in red.

Rachel Rage collections are now available online here!

Haven’t gone anywhere, just…meh. Day job stuff

Saw Stark Trek – awesome.

Rereading Kabuki Circle of Blood taking a break from reading a full run of New Mutants — who knew Claremont becomes a better writer when Bill Sienkiewicz takes over?

Figured a place for the very, very, very large comic panel — though thinking about redrawing the top third. The 10-page stories are good practice to get used to a regular schedule and updates for larger stories rather than waiting around for a couple months per update.

The Rachel Rage collections are BEING PRINTED!!!! Finally. Apparently, I have clunky high speed hook-up. When I re-uploaded files from the ol’ day job, no problems with incomplete files. Everything should be in hand by June 10 and available at Heroes Con June 19!!!

Advertisement will follow as well as an updated Olde Towne Shoppe.
