2011 Mocca Festival
On April 9th and 10th, about two weeks from today, we will be at The New York City Mocca Festival. It is the big apple's largest annual celebration of Independent comics, and it features some of the biggest independent comic book creators on the planet including Paul Pope, Jaime Hernandez, Frank Miller, and of course THE INKBOT CREW! The Mocca Festival is also a great place for fans to meet and greet with some of their favorite artists, and to sample some of the best of what the American independent market has to offer. So, with that in mind, what are some of things that we, here at Inkbot.net, have in store for you?
At the 2011 Mocca Festival fans of Inkbot.net will have a chance to meet and greet with some of their favorite Inkbot creators including: Zomboy and The Blue Bullet's Jan Velazquez, Odessa's Louie Chin, Allen Shrugged's Allen Yuen, Revolvers Clay Graham and Brent Martone, and mallville's Gary Cohen (just to name a few)! Our table will also feature several high quality prints for sale, as well as FREE GIVEAWAYS AND commissioned arc. So if you always wanted Revolver's Clay Graham to draw a picture of you beating the living hell out of Johnny Raiker with a screwdriver, here's your chance ;)
BTW, just in case you're wondering which prints will be available, here is the list of what we have planned.
Odessa Graphic Novel (Contains all five issues of Odessa's first Arc)
Exclusive Revolvers One shot (contains a brand new Revolvers story, which is not available on the site)
Zomboy 1 & 2 (contains the first two issues of Zomboy's first arc)
Allen Shrugged Collection (Contains some of Allen's most memorable strips including commentary by the man himself)
Womp Collection (Contains the first twenty three strips of Louie Chin's Womp)
So again, if you're in the New York Area, make sure you stop by, tip over our table, tell us how much you hate us, or just chat with us about comics ;)
New look for Odessa
For the Odessa Graphic Novel Louie Chin redesigned a lot of the pages in issues one through five. So, in the coming weeks make sure you check back and read some of your favorite Odessa issues, as there may be a few hidden surprises in the art ;)
Art Corner- we are still in the process of developing an Inkbot Art Corner, which will be a place where Inkbot artists can post tons of finished and unfinished pieces, and where you, the viewer, can post your opinions about them. We expect to be finished with the design by the end of the week. So expect an official announcement, regarding its launch, by the early part of next week ;)
Inkbot stores- Starting next week we will begin adding some more of your favorite titles to the Inkbot store. With that said, the stores for Revolvers, American Ambition, Allen Shrugged, and Zomboy are now up. So make sure you check them out. AND, as an added bonus, if you wear a t-shirt to any of the conventions that we attend, we will hook you up with some exclusive Inkbot stuff ;)
Great Podcast
If you're a die hard Scifi fan, or like I, just enjoy a good entertainment podcast, then you'll certainly enjoy The Sci fi Saturday Night podcast. About a month ago, yours truly did an interview with them regarding the site and our philosophy on comics, and since then they have had the cast of Firefly's Brown Coat Redemption, discussed and debated the pros and cons of technological advances, and featured read alouds from some of the genre's biggest authors. So again, if you have some time on your hands, or you just enjoy listening to something while you work, MAKE SURE YOU CHECK IT OUT: http://www.scifisaturdaynight.com/
Honestly, with my writing schedule I can only commit to posting a blog a week. However, with twitter I can chat with people, post my ridiculous rants, and forward some of my favorite articles at any time. So, if you've been a fan of some of the ridiculous, or not so ridiculous things I have posted on my blog, or you just want to chat about comics, the site, or well...anything, then hit me up @Inkbot01
Monday, March 28th...ITS COMING!!!
That's right, next Monday marks the debut of Jan and I's new weekly stripped called Genesis. And in case you missed last week's blog, here's a preview of what you can expect:
Enough reading!
In celebration of the soon to launch Inkbot Art Corner I figured I'd give you another taste of what you can expect ;)
Until next week ;P
