Altered Book Plans

I have bad news and good news about working on my self-published comics.

Some bad news is that I changed my mind about making The Pizza Man a book. Good news is: I’m going to put The Pizza Man, Shirley’s Day and Incident at the Game Store, in one bigger book!

I made several proofs, and I was just about to go forward on buying prints, but I realized that instead of sitting on many floppy comics that don’t sell that much, I’d make a big trade paperback containing not just my comics work so far, but behind the scenes stuff like my original pencil art and inks! I can even include other illustrations and sketches in the book to show off more of my artwork!

My Comics on Etsy

Today would’ve been the weekend that I would be tabling at Anime Central but due to all conventions being cancelled for the year, I’ve decided to run my convention exclusive deals on my Etsy store!

I now have a current ongoing deal where you purchase both the print copies of Shirley’s Day and Incident at the Game Store, and you get an art print of your choosing absolutely free!

Ideas for Shirley’s Day Sequel

I’ve been doing some job training for the past few months and it eats up my time, in my breaks though, I’m thinking of ideas about what I could do for a sequel to Shirley’s Day.

Ideas that I want to explore are: the consequences of Shirley stoning an entire school, if Shirley’s parents knew about her powers manifesting. How Shirley’s monster family lives in a normal society and anything else I can think of or what people suggest.

A while ago I made a rough concept idea of Shirley’s Father for a potential sequel for Shirley’s Day. I wanted to continue the snake theming and wacky “Pokemon logic” of that family, so I based Shirley’s father off of the Greek King Cecrops.

This is some old art of Shirley’s Mom that I don’t think made it into the print comic. I based her of my original sketchbook drawing of my Hipster Medusa art I draw a long while ago.

I’m still brainstorming some stuff, so nothings set in stone, but I do like the older look for Shirley. I’ll let you know when I have a rough story together.
