Bad Karma Kickstarter
December 11, 2012
Local writers (and artist) Alex Grecian, Jeremy Haun, B. Clay Moore & Seth Peck are putting together a Kickstarter campaign for a new comic project called Bad Karma. I'm all about helping out the local KC crew. Here's some "cut n' paste" from the official Kickstarter site:
Bad Karma Volume One is a collection of original comic book stories, prose and illustration, by four acclaimed creators, with help from some of the top comic artists and illustrators in the industry.
Featuring five original concepts in self-contained stories, Bad Karma will be a custom 7 1/2" x 12", 200 page, full color hardcover book, specially produced for this Kickstarter campaign.
Bad Karma Volume One will officially debut at Heroes Con in Charlotte, North Carolina, in June of 2013.

The Beauty preview pages drawn by Jeremy Haun!
October 5, 2011
When past contributors to my cause here have big news or something exciting happens to them, I like to share the love and post it here. In this case artist Jeremy Haun recently posted preview pages for an up-coming project of his. Actually here are his words:
These pages look great and I look forward to picking up this issue. Good work Jeremy!
In just a few short weeks my upcoming Top Cow: Pilot Season book with co-writer Jason A. Hurley hits the stands. We're REALLY proud of this book. So proud, in fact, that I wanted to go ahead and show you an exclusive five page preview of the black and white art from the book. I worked my ass of on drawing these pages. I hope you dig them.
These pages look great and I look forward to picking up this issue. Good work Jeremy!

Project Comic Con 2 - St. Louis
September 20, 2010
What was a quick but planned road trip with my wife and friends, turned out to be a fun little inclusion of this out of town comic book convention appearing four of the great artists who've helped me on this campaign. There was NO way I was going to miss stopping and meeting Ryan Ottley, Jason Howard, Jamal Igle and Jeremy Haun... although I've already meet Mr. Haun. But I still had to thank them all personally and get photo's/autographs and shake their hands.
Now, I didn't know what to expect from this convention. My local con in Kansas City Planet Comicon is pretty busy and there can be a few lines. And granted, this was the second day of the convention, but rooms these creator's where in just seemed small. And there was hardly any waiting. This was a great opportunity to just chat with the creators.
The first table I hit up was the duo of Ryan Ottley and Jason Howard. Artists of Invincible and Astounding Wolf-man, respectively. These two guys are super nice. Right away Ryan mentioned, "You look familiar." It's kinda cool, even when Ryan had only briefly meet me once in San Diego in 2006.
Right around the corner was familiar face Jeremy Haun. Previously when he first mentioned he'd "draw me in", he had mentioned a totally different project he's working on through Wildstorm. I had thought appearing in Red Hood was it for an appearance but Jeremy had said his previous mention still stands. Can't wait to hear about this new project!
I had to hunt down Jamal Igle. Again, they had all the creator's kind of separated into different rooms I got worried and had to ask where he was sitting. But it was great to meet him and shake his hand and thank him for such a great panel. I seriously love that page!
What seems weird is the main focus was meeting all these artists who had already helped me out. It was unfortunate that Patrick Gleason had to cancel because I have had enjoyed his work on Aquaman and Green Lantern Corps. Some other convention perhaps. I had ran into Phil Hester and Ande Parks and gave them both a flyer... again. It's almost a running joke, every year a new flyer.
On the last leg of this show I came across Ethan Van Sciver and Gail Simone. Ethan I had managed to send a message to about two years ago on MySpace and was less than receptive of my cause. Guess I shouldn't have been too surprised to see his stance hadn't changed over time.
Gail however was awesome to chat with. I enjoy talking shop with everybody. It's weird as a fan to have invested time and money in this hobby, just in the back of your head keeping these other worlds and fictional characters alive, and then to chat with somebody who plays in the sandbox of these universes... and really just... cares about them. So Gail if you're reading this, thanks for the chat. Love your stuff. Again, I know you don't draw'em... but would love to be in one of your books someday.
As far as artists and writers go, this show hit the jackpot. I did a round flipping through dollar bins and didn't really spend a whole lot. But I was in and out in two hours. That just blows my mind there. But really since this was a side trip on the vacation I was already on, I just just glad to get my time in.
Thank you St. Louis, for putting together a great guest list. Thanks to everybody I shook hands with, it was great meeting you!

Draw Me In Appearance #15! Red Hood: Lost Days #4 by Jeremy Haun!
Two weeks ago I get an e-mail from Jeremy Haun. Short and to the point it says, "Check out Red Hood #4. You pop in the background."
I show up while the UPS guy is delivering today's comic book goodness at my local comic book store, waiting to get my hands on a copy. Sure enough, there it is. Looking like something out of a mobster movie, or Reservoir Dogs even. I like the puzzled look I seem to have.
Thanks to Jeremy Haun for remembering my "comic quest" and drawing me in to a book. Any of you local guys reading this, I'm gunning for you guys at next years Planet Comicon!

As I mentioned in my recent trip to Planet Comicon I made a particular effort to get some of the "local guys" in on my campaign, with an emphasis on Jeremy Haun. He had shown a great enthusiasm in Draw Me In and about a week ago I received an e-mail from him. Still too early to know about any future projects/issues, but anytime there's something in line for the future it always gets me excited!
Not much else in the way of news at the moment. Talking to Jason Arron, again at Planet Comicon, I found out about a future signing with him and artist Adam Kubert for the May release of Astonishing Spider-man/Wolverine. So yeah.. I'll be going to that, got to hit up Adam Kubert man!
That's all for now... more as it develops true believers!
