Los Angeles Comic Con - Oct 26-28th

Hey guys, it's Giulie here.

Guess what's coming up? LA Comic-Con this weekend! It's been a long time since we did a show but we have some new stuff to offer.

We will be debuting our latest micro-anthology, RED: A Golden Age Mixtape. Four modern short stories using Golden age characters: Red Rube, Red Bee, Red Mask and Red Torpedo. Contributors include Jared Sams, Kenny Keil, Rob Harrington and me with Leonie O'Moore. Nathaniel Osollo did the awesome cover, sneak preview of the logo below.

Also, FANBASE PRESS did a shout out for all indie creators that will be in attendance (including us).

Rob and I will be tabling in Artist Alley at C13. Come by and check us out!

Tabling at Comikaze!

For the third year in a row we'll be tabling at Comikaze in Downtown Los Angeles! All weekend long (Oct 31st - Nov 2nd) we'll be set up in Artist Alley @ AA616. That also means this year's show falls on Halloween weekend, which should make for a really fun time!

We'll have our entire line up of comics: Golden Age, Rainbowbeard, One Night On Earth and the newest title, Niagara (with art by the super talented Claire Connelly). So put on your Halloween costume and come on down to the show!

1 Night on Earth Anthology - Printed

I finally received the micro-anthology in the mail and it looks amazing! The cover artist, Giovanna Terrone did an excellent job. Kudos to Christopher Kosek for designing it too!

A shout out to RA Comics Direct for printing a quality comic with super fast turnaround.

This will be available to purchase at the upcoming conventions, Comikaze and LBCC. Soon I'll update our online store where you can buy it directly from us (shipped within the US only).

One Night On Earth - on Tumblr

I'm in the process of putting together a micro anthology of sorts. I've written five short stories; each of them taking place in a different city (Sydney, Miami, Los Angeles, Hong Kong and San Salvador). What I've been trying to do is recruit women artists to collaborate on these shorts. Now, before you say it's a gimmick, these artists are amazing. I wanted to work with them. And I'm lucky that they said 'yes'. It's no easy feat either; juggling all the deadlines, keeping track on who's working on what and having an ultra tight budget--what was I thinking?!? But so far it's been a positive learning experience for me. I'm building a network of comrades =)

I don't know how Ranae de Liz & Company did it with Womanthology. That's one massive book. And what's great about it, it's still going. It's taking on new themes; profiling new & emerging talent.  Not to mention, recently Gail Simone recruited a slew of female artists and writers for the new Red Sonja series. Bravo I say!

Am I able to pull this little project off? We shall see. For now I have a tumblr going (free and open to the masses) but hopefully later in the year I'll do a small print run and sell them cheap at conventions. I won't be making money off of it (with printing, travel & convention costs). But the point of all this is to put work out there, show what I can do and what these kick-ass ladies have done.

One Night On Earth

2013 Convention Schedule

Last year was our first year of tabling at conventions and we managed to make it out to six different shows. We learned a lot during the course of last year and as much hard work as it was, it was also extremely fun and rewarding. Heading into our second year we're hoping to table at about the same number of conventions, but we'll be mixing in a few new ones.

Emerald City Comic Con (Seattle, WA): March 1-3 -- We couldn't be more excited about exhibiting at this show! Everyone we've talked to has had nothing but great things to say about Emerald City. So even though we have some lofty expectations, if you add in the fact that it's our first out of state convention and we'll be spending time in the great city of Seattle, we're pretty sure this show is going to be a blast!

Long Beach Comic Expo (Long Beach, CA): May 11 -- It'll be our second time setting up at the Long Beach Expo. It's a nice intimate one-day show that's only about an hour's drive from us, so there's no way we could pass it up.

Phoenix Comicon (Phoenix, AZ): May 23-26 -- Another new show for us this year. We heard many good things about the show, but our main reason for exhibiting is just to test the waters. It's a short (inexpensive) flight which leaves little risk for us. Fingers crossed.

Granite State Comic Con (Manchester, NH): September 28-29 -- This will be our first east coast convention! Growing up in New Hampshire, I didn't start making my own comics until well after I had already moved away, so I'm hoping to meet some Granite State comic creators at the show. Though to be perfectly honest, while the show looks like it'll be a lot fun, the main reason we'll be doing it is to spend time with family who live in the area.

Comikaze Expo (Los Angeles, CA): November 1-3 -- Last year's show was a wonderful surprise for us. Being only the second of its existence, there were some definite growing pains, but the turn out from both exhibitors and attendees was incredible. It's the kind of show Los Angeles has needed for years. Plus the show is expanding from two days to three days, so it's future is only looking brighter.

Long Beach Comic Con (Long Beach, CA): November 23-24 -- This is one of our favorite shows! Just like the one day expo, this show is very laid back and allows us to meet up with a lot of other local creators. The convenient location makes the show a nice weekend getaway for us.

So that's the plan, hope to see you all out there!
