Greetings, friends!
I have been kind of quiet for the last several weeks, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been busy! Last month I went to Air Capital Comic Con in Wichita, Kansas. It was the first convention I’ve been to since, well, the last Air Capital in 2019! It was great to just get out and see friends and artists that I haven’t seen since the pandemic started. I find it very inspiring and motivating to see all the great new work other creators are producing.
As we settle into the holiday season, I’ve decided not to schedule any more interviews until the start of next year. I love talking to writers and artists, but the podcast is strictly a part time hobby thing. Between my day job, holiday obligations, and my own creative pursuits, I don’t have the time to put into doing interviews and editing videos. I do have a great list of writers and artists lined up that I’m excited to talk to, though! Once January comes around everybody’s schedules should open up and there will be more time for fun comics conversations.
Speaking of my own creative pursuits, though… As many of you probably know, I have written a few short stories based off Ed Bickford’s Robot Pulp art series. The very first Robot Pulp short story, Big Game Hunter, is available to read for free right here! (and the rest are available for purchase on Amazon, wink!)
I’ve decided to record one of the stories, The Hideout, as an audio book and just recently put it up on the YouTube channel for everyone to enjoy. It clocks in at just around an hour, so it’s about the length of an average podcast.
I enjoyed recording The Hideout, and may do more of these readings in the future if people prefer to listen to them rather than read them.
In comic news, I am putting together all the final pieces for the Wreck-Lass Kickstarter rewards. Almost all of the art and stretch goal rewards are finished, we are just waiting for the orders to come in so we can plan to mail everything out in January.
Sara and I are also working on our next comic. It will be called Crash Landing Party and will be a lighthearted sci-fi comedy. We’ll have more to show as it gets further into production.
I hope everybody has a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year! For myself, I’m looking forward to next year and all the great new things I have to work on!
Thanks for reading!
