Miners Mutiny, First Look

Keep your hands on your holsters and don’t be jumping no claims. Here we have folks, a nugget of what’s to come this October at the 2010 Alternative Press Expo. 

Miners Mutiny, the first full-length comic book of the forthcoming trilogy, is the story of a man looking for trouble in a small gold mining town where no one has anything better to do. 

Loaded with TNT, wild women, and plenty of whiskey to keep your whistle whetted!  

Yeeeeeee HAW!

Your Tools Aren’t Everything…

But they’re certainly something.

Hi Ho! Just sweating over a panel and feeling extremely unproductive tonight.  I finished a whopping 2 panels today! That’s one more than one and one less than NOT ENOUGH!

Anywho, I’m sitting here staring at what little work I did do, and I start Continue Reading »

It’s a Miracle Anything Ever Gets Done

And I don’t mean that to sound depressing.  Let me clarify…

I am having a particularly hard time starting a new project (and instead of working on said project, here I am writing a blog post, see?)

I won’t use the term writer’s block, or artist’s block or whatever verbiage is used to describe this happenstance.  We all know Continue Reading »

Why Comics?

We’re Writers Old Fashioned, a group of Bay Area comic book creators bound together by our collective four color dreams. We’re polling our resources (us) to answer the age old question: Why comics?

I Still Believe in Comics.

I originally wanted to write a recap of my 2009 WonderCon, but I just can’t get into the details.  It seems if I focused on the specifics (like the fact that Mike Mignola’s table was two tables away from our own!) I’d be missing the big picture of WonderCon.

Does anyone remember this song?

The Freaks Come Out at Night

I don’t know about you, but I love some good ol’ homemade costumes and comic book fans are especially good at do-it-yourself fashion.  Wonder Con is like a pop culture safari; cruise around the convention halls and you’ll be sure to spot several icons in their natural habitat. Continue Reading »
