Creation is hard

A short note to mention that the website is updated and buying is made clearer. I have been hard at work this summer making new artwork. I am still writing Premonitions the novel, I am working hard on One Angry Koala graphic novel and have recently started a One Angry Koala Painting on a large canvas. This’ll be my first attempt at surreal art with mixed media. I recently went to see Sandman artist Dave McKean and he was such a nice guy and his artwork amazing, it inspired m to say the least. Hopefully my painting will be good enough to scan and use as the cover. More info as I see it.

Progress Since Chicago Con

We have been working on submissions of Premonitions and One Angry Koala to publishers and are deep into this process. Those of you who know the business know it is hard to break into. We are sending out our quality products and hope to hear something positive from publishers.

On another front, Michael is writing a novelization of the Premonitions story that will take the groundwork that has been laid out in the comic and the short story and develop it into a rich, deep and exciting novel series. Although Michael has written many short stories and is a published poet, this will be his first novel. He expects it to be completed by July of 2009! Wish him luck as he spends long hours hovering over the keyboard.

Skeptic Blog Becomes New Sensation

Skeptic Comics is proud to announce that we are now in the blogosphere, that weird place in the middle of nowhere and somewhere, where anonymous people tell you that they thought about your stuff and hope you don’t fly to their house to beat them up if they post something wicked. Please feel free to post anything you want. We appreciate your feedback and comments.

How to use the blog:

Basically, you can read each category of blog entries at the top of the page and click on those, or you can scroll down reading all of them. Click on comment buttons to add comments. It’s that easy.
