Help support ROCK N ROLLER REMOTE CONTROLLER thru...

Fri, 18 May 2012 10:28:00 -0500

Help support ROCK N ROLLER REMOTE CONTROLLER thru Kickstarter!

What started out as a school project, turned into an awesome DIY tv show featuring music videos and ever-evolving story lines and special effects. The video gives you a much better explanation than I would, so check it out.

I’m glad to have been a part of previous and future episodes (the first ep featured my old band Dinosaur Pills btw), and this is definitely one of the coolest things coming out of Milwaukee.

So check out the video and support if you feel so inclined. Also, look for the Night Light Comics beer coozie cameo.

PS - You can watch the first four episodes online here! (note: the first was for school, so it’s a little “limited”, but each one after that just keeps getting better.)

Just finished penciling EGYPTIAN SHUMBA —the first graphic novel from Night Light Comics— and it’s clocking in at 208 pages!

Now I gotta ink all that shit, but to me, the “hard” part is done, and I’m glad to have finally reached this little milestone.

I’m still gonna have to re-letter everything, and hopefully find a publisher too, but expect more updates, and maybe even a web-comic version of it. I’ve got a domain reserved, but I haven’t decided if I’m actually gonna do that yet… But if I do —you read it here first! #WhoCares

Lastly, I’ll be at SPRINGCON this weekend, May 19 & 20 in St. Paul. Minnesota’s comics scene is some of the best ever (their football team, not so much) and I’m super excited to be back there.

BLACK WIDOW sketch from 2011 daily sketchbook of all Marvel characters.

See the first 200 days here, and the last 165 here. Most of these are for sale btw, so if you’re interested in buying something, drop me a line.

The Avengers movie was great. I don’t know if the Soundgarden comeback hit song was really necessary, but whatever.

Here’s a page of Annie and her Indestructible Guitar from the upcoming graphic novel, EGYPTIAN SHUMBA.

I’ve had a shitty cold/sinus infection/thing the last few weeks, so I haven’t been too productive, but I’m back in action now. And I’m still producing some gnarly boogers, so if you want to see them I’ll be happy to send you a pic for your weird fetish.

Anyways, I’m nearing the end of the penciling process, and my goal is to have the whole thing ready to be inked by Springcon —which I’ll be be returning to this year, May 19 and 20th!

This is from a thing I’m making, and I’m pretty excited about it.

It’s not merch, but hopefully I’ll have it in a couple weeks, and you can look at it at conventions and stuff.

From Drink & Draw Milwaukee, March 2012.

The theme was “not so super heroes” which worked out fine for me because I could just use my own character.

That’s Kim. And those are her weapons.

I really can’t explain how killer this line-up is. Pierced Arrows are worth worth the $7 alone… But adding Big Eyes, Head On Electric, AND Tenement??

Plus new Rock’N’Roller Remote Controller stuff?

It’s like a bunch of awesome icing on a bunch of already awesome cakes.

No bullshit here.

Pencils for page 158 of EGYPTIAN SHUMBA.

The beauty of a splash page: even though there’s not a lot of detail to this one, it’ll still have a “wow” effect when you turn the page.

MARCH 19th poster.

Go because:

*Nude Beach rules, and they’re making a special trip to Milwaukee cuz it also rules.

*Dads have new songs.

*Jim (from Dads) celebrates his birthday on the 19th, so maybe we will bring cake or something. I don’t know. Come and find out. Not making any promises here though.

*Rich People play super tight pop punk goodness, and do a superb Replacements cover.

*Pete, the bartender at Quarters is the best bartender of all the bartenders.

*Mortal Kombat on xbox 360 always playable.

*Monday night shows rule.

*That last one might be a lie.

*Just call in to work the next day and don’t worry about it.
