Robot and Ghost

The voting for Comic battle round 7 is almost over, and it’s coming down to the wire! Will this be the first comic battle that I lose?!

Oh those wacky business men!

There are some pretty good entries over at this week comic battle – go check them out!

There’s a new SCP up for this week’s comic battle.

Go there and vote for the comic that you like the best! Spread the love around a bit, too – it looks bad when you all show up and vote for the SCP strip

I didn’t enter Comic Battle this week, but I did win last week! Wooooo!

There are some pretty good entries this time around, so you should definitely go check them out!

Don’t worry, though – I’m going to enter next week! I’ve already got my idea!

For a canceled strip, SCP sure has been active lately!

Check out the other entries and vote in this week’s comic battle here : http://www.cloudscapecomics.com/2010/06/23/comic-battle-round-3-voting/

Oh man! I won the first round of Comic Battle with this strip:

The battle is won, but the war is not over! I’ve got another strip up for round two, that you can vote on here!

Two SCP strips in two weeks? What does this mean? Is SCP back?! Only time will tell!

Keep in mind that Comic Battle is open to everyone! If you are a comics author and would like to take a shot at stealing my title, please submit something for the next round.

There’s a new SCP strip up at the cloudscape comic battle! Go check it out, and maybe even vote for it!

Comic Battle is going to be a continuing feature, so look for more SCP in the future!

I’m running a contest over at the new Cloudscape website.

It’s a little like the sadly departed Strip Fight. This means two things: you have the opportunity to submit strips to a contest, AND there will be a new SCP strip coming next week.

You heard that. . . . a NEW SCP strip!

Crazy!

Hey all. I’ve been rather quiet lately, but it’s been for a good cause. Aaron and I are working on a long-form story, and I’ve (temporarily?) abandoned my solo work to give it my full comics-guy attention.

We’re still in the early stages, but I’m very excited about the way it’s shaping up. It is awesome to be working with such a talented artist. When I write for myself, I’m often worried about whether or not I can pull off the art from one panel to the next. I constantly have to make concessions  like skipping a crowd scenes, or limiting myself to awkward close-up shots to avoid having to draw too much funny-looking backgrounds. I don’t have to worry about these things when I’m writing for someone who knows what they’re doing!

I don’t want to spill too many beans about the story, but I will say that it’s a period piece set in the late 1800′s in a small mining town in the North American west. Thematic elements include: hard-rock mining, vegetable farming, and the finer points of commercial baking on a cast iron stove. Also: UNDERGROUND MONSTERS! Rawrrr!

The Vancouver Courier interviewed me about Exploded View.

The launch party is coming up this Saturday – I hope to see some of you there!
