I’ve been working away at the sequel to Little Vampires. I thought I would give you a little peek into what you have to look forward to in Little Vampires at Play.
The Little Vampires work really hard at being fierce. But all work and no play makes them dull Little Vampires.
So they play. One of the friends they like to play with is Frank.
He’s kind of boring. But they like him anyway.
Past issues of my comic book Project Elohim are now being published as a webcomic.
Check out project-elohim.com every Tuesday and Thursday. And explore the site to learn more about the world that Caitlain and Brian inhabit.
Spread the word, tell a friend!
My mom, mother-in-law’s cousin, and mother-in-law took pictures of their display of the ornaments James and I made.
Notice my mom keeping them in their original packaging. I knew there was a geek in there somewhere. Go ma!
Children’s foreheads are an underutilized advertising space. I’m just saying.
December is convention hibernation time. And just like all good hibernating animals, we here at Lunasea Studios run amuck in a mad foraging spree before we head for our caves. But the nuts we try to horde are found only at conventions. So it was conventions a go-go this November!
Wizard World Texas was one of our most successful cons in 2007, so we were looking forward to returning. But we were also a little nervous. Would people remember us? They did! We got to see Aaron Settle of Lone Star Comics again. You can now get the Little Vampire hardcovers in their store. One of my super Little Lunatics, Wyatt, came by with his family. We added many new peeps to the Lunatic ranks as well. But there was something missing from the con, and that was Neal.
In 2007, we were lucky enough to be at the table beside writer Neal Bailey. He couldn’t get a table this year, which was a bummer. But I was sketching a werewolf in a Viking helmet, I looked up, and there he was! He was able to make it to Wizard World Texas as an attendee at least, and we got to hang out over an awesome steak dinner at Trail Dust.
Four Christmas cards featuring my art are up for sale at the Lunasea Studios Cafe Press store.
I know, it’s about time! Issue 5 will drop in December. If you want a little appetizer, click on the thumbnails below. Find out what happened to Lona after she and her ancient Aztec demon possessor guy met the twins on an empty desert road in Arizona.
You know you want to.
I tried some different sketching techniques this convention. The top two sketches are my view from our table at APE. The bottom two are James as a Victorian gentleman, and Death from Sandman, inspired by my buds at Emonic.
Cue Willie Nelson! James and I were on the road again for the Alternative Press Expo. It’s a long haul from San Diego to San Francisco, but APE was worth every mile.
We arrived early Halloween evening. Driving around downtown, we realized that Halloween in San Francisco is, uhh, pretty much like every other night in San Francisco. After observing the crazy costumed fun (wait, I think they dress like that every day), we were off to the APE Exhibitor Mixer at the offices of Last Gasp publishing.
Now I’m a highly social person. I grew up in Brooklyn, and still have many New Yorky traits despite leaving there in my preteens. I’m skilled at self-deprecating humor, nod and wink sarcasm, and am very gregarious. I will strike up a conversation with a stranger on a bus if I see that we might have something to talk about. But if I don’t see a good reason to start yapping, my clothes turn a dull shade of wallflower.
So it was at the APE Exhibitor Mixer. Read More
