Cartoon North Exhibit - JUNE 2007

To the best of my knowedge this will be the first cartoon and comic book art exhibit in Alaska. It definitely is the first here in the Fairbanks area. From CartoonNorth.net :

Cartoon North: the exhibition
( CLICK THE PIC TO THE RIGHT TO ENLARGE>>>>> )
The work of more than fifty artists, most of them Alaskans, is featured in this exciting show, the first comprehensive exhibit of Alaska sequential art and cartooning. From the sublimely beautiful to the hysterically funny, these animators, cartoonists, inkers, pencilists, letterers, graphic artists, writers, and painters have created a gamut of pop culture artwork.

The exhibit will be on display for the month of June 2007 (opening June 1, Friday 5:30-9pm) at the Annex art gallery, 2922 Parks Highway, Fairbanks, Alaska.

As a writer and letterer of comics I have even been asked to participate! On display will be three 11x17 pages. A mocked up cover and the script for two pages of Black Watch and then the two finished (colored and lettered) pages drawn from that piece of script.

It should be fun! And heck, half way through the month Scott McCloud will be doing a workshop!

CORRECTIONS: McCloud's Making Comics workshop will be on June 15, Friday, 6 to 9 pm. Also, the other two workshops, Zines and Editorial Cartooning, are only $25 ($20 if you're a student).

Finally...

No longer sick...just busy.

I'll post more soon about the upcoming Cartoon North gallery show here in town.

Also, the Trailer Park of Terror movie shoot is in full swing. You can go to www.trailerparkofterror.com for movie info...or check out one guy's site visit at http://fangoria.com/fearful_feature.php

I'll try to post more when there's more time.

Sickity sick sick

@$#*%#@$!!!!!

I am so sick of being sick! I have been sick more the past couple years than I was in the 30 before that!

Working while being sick, everything takes ten time longer than it should. I THINK I may be pulling out of it...but then again all new symptoms started showing up today. Stupid sore throat!!

Anyway...
Finished up another issue of Chaotic Soldier (Arcana).
More pages of a book with Kody Chamberlain (Not sure if I can say what it is or not).
Did and will hopefully be doing more, pages of the Troma GN Devil's Due is doing.

Black Watch is in the process of finding a publisher, making the rounds, hitting those who'll take submissions online.

Talked briefly with JD from the set of the Trailer Park of Terror movie. Pretty cool...he says it seems to be going well.
