Here's The Thing

HERE'S THE THING

(working title and cover art)

At Bay Press has agreed to publish a very large and exceptional collection of my new graphic/abstract comic work! 80 full color pages of art. 8.5 x 12 in. Scheduled release date is tentatively Fall 2018.

ZOiKs KaBlaMo ABstract-O-RaMo !  I can't wait.
In 2013 after moving out of my studio of 22 years and contemplating on being a City of Winnipeg Transit driver, my comics, if they were not already abstract enough, took an inevitable wider left turn,  then up and sideways. It'll be quite a diverse collection. I've really been having a lot of fun exploring and experimenting. This book will be mostly single page pieces along with some 2 and 3-page comics as well.

Prairie Comics Festival & Acid Man

I will be presenting all of my comics, comix, minis, books and novelties at this years 2nd Annual Prairie Comics Festival May 6th - 7th, 2017. It's FREE to attend and is in a very nice venue for the second time at the Millenial Library in downtown Winnipeg. The only thing different is that it runs for two days this year.

The following weekend is TCAF in Toronto which I will be going to to mill about and trade comics!

Here below are two of my recent Acid Man Society books, No.40, Man Macine unfolds to a geo-abstract comic on one side of a sheet with many words about evolution and consciousness on the other side. No.41, ONA has a more traditional comic panel layout with a fun story about an young eye leaving home.

Prairie Comics Festival Is Crunchy & Chewy

I will be attending the Prairie Comics Festival a one day event at the 

Millennium Library

Saturday, July 30th 2016    

251 Donald Street, Winnipeg

This inaugural event will host a juried selection of independent artist, writers, craft-makers and publishers for a full day of interaction and panel discussions.

I will have a host of my comic book related publications, mini comix and novelties for your perusal and purchase. NEW is the Re-issue of AM No.25 - The Chewy Crunchy Rollup Scroll of Comix pictured above. Yes a complete comic strip in each package! Each one unrolls to about 30"long. Also new is the Incredible Solid & Liquid Co-Mix. These are Double Bubble-sized packs containing my Abstract Comix. 12-15 comix in each for a long lasting visual and mental Chew.

I Will Always Be HERE & THERE

I WILL BE HERE at TCAF setting up my wares. All sorts of new books, COMICS and novelty comix.

 

*************

UPPERCASE Magazine for it's 29th issue had an open call to artists that incorporated cutting and/or folding into their practice and I thought I might just fit in perfectly as I am always cutting and folding paper and card stock to make my books and novelty items. So I sent off a number of my recent projects and out of 555 submissions I was one of the 1/5th of acceptances into that issue. It's a fantastic issue! 

  

***********  30  YEARS  AGO  ***********

HOLY CROW, my first mini comic is 30 years old this year! It almost passed me by as I had not thought about it much lately. But I did remember and on the occasion printed some new copies that I will be taking to TCAF. It was originally published by Jeff Gaither in February 1986 out of Kentucky through his Dark Horse imprint. This comic actually, unbeknowst to me has the first appearance of Acid Man who would come into his own in the continuing Acid Man Society books and novelties.

Also, anybody have any extra cash? Please donate to a worthwhile artist who does not get enough time to do what he was gifted to do. Thanx for being here.

 Cover art by Ron Rege Jr.

The TREASURY OF MINI COMICS Vol.1 is scheduled for a June 2013 release.
If you want to see some info on it or to pre order, check out the Amazon listing here.


The first of two volumes collecting mini comics from the 1960s till the present, created by pioneers and champions of the form.
Fantagraphics’ 2010 NEWAVE! The Underground Mini Comix of the 1980s was such an unexpected hit that it inspired this first of a two-volume set chronicling the art of the mini-comic from the late 1960s to present—The Treasury of Mini Comics. The Treasury of Mini Comics charts the evolution of the art of mini comics over four decades of deliberate cartoon rebellion. This volume will reproduce some of the best mini comics ever produced by some of the most creative DIY creators in the world (many of whom, of course, have gone on to become familiar names among contemporary comics connoisseurs): Leonard Rifas, Justin Green, Gary Arlington, Jim Siergey, Larry Rippee, Richard Krauss, Bob Vojtko, Par Holman & Clark Dissmeyer, Matt Feazell, Matt Howarth, Steve Willis, Ronald Russell Roach, Edd Vick, Bruce Chrislip, Brad Johnson, Tim Corrigan, Macedonio Garcia, David Miller, Colin Upton, Robert Pasternak, David Lee Ingersoll, Roberta Gregory, John Porcellino, Dylan Williams, Eric Reynolds, Molly Keily, Blair Wilson, Jim Blanchard, Chris Cilla, David Lasky & Jim Woodring, Marc Bell, Ron Rege Jr., Leela Corman, David Heatley, Laura Wady, Fiona Smyth, Karl Wills, Onsmith, Travis Millard, Mark Campos, Nate Beaty, Peter Thompson, Carrie McNinch, Mark Todd, Esther Pearl Watson, Andy Singer, Noah Van Sciver, Kelly Froh, Aaron Norhanian, Max Clotfelter, and Marc J. Palm.
