Made At Meltdown Event

Hi Everyone!


It's been a while we know, but we've been really busy this year. But, there's an event happening in Downtown LA tomorrow called Made At Meltdown, in reference to Meltdown Comic Shop that closed earlier this year.

Way back when, the first comic I made (By The Slice) was created while taking a class at Meltdown U, taught by Jim Higgins. So everyone who took that class and has since then published other comics will be at A Shop Called Quest from 2-5.

Thanks to Rylend Grant who put this all together, we'll be signing, doing panels, podcasts, and there's food trucks as well.

So come on out and enjoy!

First Debut at the now defunct Meltdown Comics

It's Kickstarter time for... Cash & Carrie!

Cash & Carrie is a series that I've been working on since last year. It's about two junior high school friends, Dallas Cash and Inez Carrie, who solve mysteries in their small town. In the first issue, they investigate the strange disappearance of a school mascot, Misty the Goat. With the help of a few clues and a few friends, they narrow down their search to three possible suspects: the school principal, a rival football team and a fraternity brother. Or did Misty magically vanish into thin air?

The mover, the shaker, the editor Shawn Pryor got in contact with me and kickass artist Penny to do this all ages comic. All three of us collaborated on it and we could not be more proud.

The Kickstarter is currently under way until June 10th. There are reward tiers for variant covers, two Ginger Rabbit Studio digital comics: Golden Age and Clown Fight and later, a pdf copy of my script (scary I know 0_0). The best thing about this is that the story/art/design is almost completed, the only wait is for the printers.

This is an exciting time so get on it!

New mini-comic posted on my Tumblr!

It's a short story called, Daughter. It's about a high school girl in Calais, Maine who gets killed in cold blood. Her reputation was far from squeaky clean but she was still a person who deserved much more.

Morgan Beem did the excellent art and Shin-Wey Lu did the lettering.

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).

We're going APE!

This weekend the Ginger crew will be headed to San Fran to setup for A.P.E. We're excited to return to a great city and great expo. We heard there's an exhibitor mixer on Friday and we'll try our damnest to make it. But otherwise, hopefully we'll see some old and new faces come by our table. We're at Booth 915 on the right hand side of the exhibit hall. Free high fives for all!

'Till Next Year, LA Zine Fest!

The L.A. Zine Fest was this past Sunday and it turned out to be a really successful show. We sold lots of zines and comics and it looked like other exhibitors also did very well.

We arrived at the Last Bookstore in Downtown early in the morning to set up our booth. It was great to see some old friends (Zebratron and Meltdown University) and meet new ones.

Rob, Jared Sams and I honestly didn't know what to expect. This was our first time as exhibitors and it was the first year for the Fest. If anything this would be a preview of what to expect in the future as we table at other conventions, both big and small.

We were given buttons when we checked in.

Doors opened at 11a.m. with only a few people walking the floor. After about an hour, more and more started filing into the exhibitor space. Soon enough the aisles were crammed full of people and it never let up until closing time. People were interested in what we had to offer. They seemed to like our table layout, artwork, and prices, and even our location helped us get noticed. Some were impressed that we accepted credit cards. Thanks Square!

We even gave away free miniature rubber chickens as a sort of lead in to talk about Clown Fight. Those ran out pretty quick, so we're planning on stocking up for next time. It's a great conversation piece and who doesn't want something for free?

Just finished setting up.

Check out our rack!

Our creations.

These were a hit!

Don't Worry, We Got This.

It was jam packed all day.

I have to admit, I was kinda flattered when people came by and said they've heard or seen By The Slice before. One person said they've already bought the comic at Meltdown and others brought a copy for me to sign.  To think, it started as something of a homework assignment, but has turned into something I'm really proud of. I'm looking forward to writing more comics and interacting with more readers.

All in all, we did very well, had lots of fun and met some awesome people. Next on our schedule, Wonder Con!

 Me and Jared at our finest.
