A little bit of news

A few things:

Anonymous Nancy #2 is done and printed, any kickstarter backers should have theirs, or it should be on its way. Issue three is scripted and on its way to Roy to start drawing.

I have all the art for my short horror anthology, save the cover, which I haven't really decided where I want to go with. Should I have one of the artists in the anthology do a cover? Have an different artist do a cover? Something to think about, for sure, but I'm not going to worry about it until the last two shorts have been lettered.

I don't really have any conventions lined up in the near future. I wasn't able to make Pittsburgh for various reasons. I'm working on putting together a schedule for next year. Probably be limited due to both money and time issues, but we'll see how things look when I have a few more things to offer.

And, finally, we've launched the tumblr for a new project, called Campaigners. Campaigners is a graphic novel that I'll be kickstarting next summer. Written by myself, with art by MJ Barros, the story is set in the year 2076. America is on the verge of an election, which will be decided by a fight to the death between the candidates. The main character, Kydra Frank, is turning eighteen on Election Day, but wants nothing to do with the election. When she says so publicly, she has to face the public backlash.

It's a story I'm very proud of, and I hope to get enough people paying attention that when the kickstarter launches we'll be able to fund it without too much trouble. Ideally it will be ready for release during convention season 2016.

The tumblr can be found here. There's not much up yet, but we're hoping to have content updating at least weekly in the near future.

One last thing. I've been doing this 365 stories thing for a while now (right now I'm doing all spooky or horror type stories for Halloween, so if that's something that excites you...). I've still got a few months before I've reached the full 365 stories, but I'm starting to think about what I want to going forward. Should I keep writing these stories every day? The problem is that I don't have a whole lot of free time lately, and the time I spend on these stories could be better spent on other projects; longer short stories for submission, comics, novels, etc. I might start thinking of a patreon or maybe self-publishing a few collections of these stories.

Just thinking out loud, I guess.

So that's all for now.

No More Cons (this year)

So I haven't posted anything here in a while, mostly because I've been really busy lately and it just kind of slipped my mind. Pittsburgh Comic Con is this weekend, and I'm hoping to get a chance to top by, but I will not have a table. I'm especially bummed about this because I should be getting physical copies of issue 2 of Anonymous Nancy by the end of the week. But there's just too much going on right now and I won't be able to make it.

I don't think there are any more conventions this year that I could conceivably make it to. To be honest, when next year rolls around I'll probably only make it to a few. Money, time, all of that. But I'll still be working on projects, still writing and getting comics made. I'm pretty close to finishing up this short horror anthology I've been working on, and once I'm done with that I'll be moving on to a sci-fi one. I want to try something with smaller, longer comics. Like something that feels like a book, that you can fit in your pocket. Maybe 100-150 pages? I dunno. I have a lot going on right now, so we'll see.

That is all for now. Hopefully Anonymous Nancy #2 will be up on comiXology soon, and I'll be sure to drop a note here when it is. In the meantime, make sure to pick up Lunatic Fringe and Nancy #1 if you haven't already!

Morgantown or Bust!

Getting ready to leave for Morgantown for the WV Pop Con. I'll be the guy passed out at my table.

Seriously though, stop by and say hi!

WV Pop Culture Con!

Hey everybody! Been a little while since I posted here. Things have been pretty crazy lately, with the new edition to the family and a bunch of projects in various stages of getting done.

First and foremost, I will be at the West Virginia Pop Culture Con in Morgantown, WV, the weekend after this. The dates are August 23-24. Details here. It looks to be a pretty good time, so I hope any of you reading this will stop by and say hi!

The Kickstarter for Anonymous Nancy was a success, so thanks to everyone who contributed to that as well. I'm hoping against hope to have copies of issue 2 ready for the convention. I should, at the very least, have the prints available.

I have another project in the works, that's getting pretty close to completed, and I'll be announcing that as soon as it's ready.

Also, Lunatic Fringe is now available on comiXology here, or you can just look up my name and pick up a copy of Anonyous Nancy while you're there!

I think that's all I have at the moment. Ciao

Kickstarter home stretch!

Hey all, closing in on the end, less than three days left on the Anonymous Nancy kickstarter. Still $165 short, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Tell your friends, tell your family!

Just posted a few more prints from Roy, there will be five total available to backers now (though there are only four posted on the project page right now). Plus issues one and two of the book.

So take a look if haven't already! Looking forward to getting this done!

Thanks,
-Brendan

Thanks!

Three quick updates

One: My Kickstarter for Anonymous Nancy issue 2 is still live! Seven days to go, better hurry!

Two: Lunatic Fringe will be arriving on comiXology tomorrow! I will post the link then, check it out if you're interested. Art by the amazing Sloane Leong!

That is all thanks!
