Any questions about the show or table availability:info@greenvillecomiccon.com

See ya there!

If You happen to be at the San Diego Comic Con this weekend, be sure to swing by and say hi to J. Chris Campbell and pick up  “Off The Wall Illustrated Tribute to the King of Pop A Comic Con Exclusive” and “The Ancient Age” featuring the Rashy Rabbit story above.

If you can’t make it, you can always download “The Ancient Age” for free here.

See ya in the funny pages, sucker.

Have you heard the news? Michael Jackson died. No, we can’t bring him back, but we can celebrate the King Of Pop through comics and illustration with Wide Awake Press’ “Off The Wall: An Illustrated Tribute to the King of Pop.”

This book is gonna be off the chain, boys n’ girls. We got comics and sketches from the likes of Brad McGinty, Sarah Louise Wahrhaftig, Jim Mahfood, Rob Ullman and J Chris Campbell and many, many more of   MJ’s special little ftiends.

Okay, gang. Confession time. So I was never THAT in to Michael Jackson. I liked the videos but I never owned Thriller, however, I am bonkers about Epcot Center so I depicted Jacko in his star performance in the delightfully screwy “Captain Eo.”

It looks like this book will only be available at the San Diego Comic-Con.

Try not to lose too much sleep over this, though. If I know J. Chris like I think I know him, this might surface on the Wide Awake website in downloadable form or  some crap, or my name isn’t Peter Pan!

MINICOMICS: The Best Little Comics In The World Sat. 2PM Room 217A
Minicomics can be as simple as a photocopied booklet of stick figures or a hand-made, screenprinted masterpiece—but most importantly minicomics are comics you can make yourself! Join the Dollar Bin’s Adam Daughhetee as he sits down with J. Chris Campbell (Attic Bugs), Drew Weing (Blar), Andy Runton (Owly), Brad McGinty (Wisteria) and Josh Latta (Rashy Rabbit) to talk about what minicomics are, how they make them, and most importantly how YOU can make them too!

Heroes Con is a mere three days away. I better start packin’! Before I do though, I thought I’d share a most excellent review of Rashy Rabbit’s latest adventure, “Redskin Rashy” by my pal Shannon Smith at File Under Other.

(click on the page above to see that, I am in fact, a genius.)

Thanks Shannon, without your support, I woulda long given up on this racket, I’m sure.

So, who’s gonna be in Charlotte this weekend?

You and you?

…Not him?

Well then, let’s kick it at HEROES CONVENTION!

I’ll be with more talented artist in Indie Island, with my latest comic Redskin Rashy and the New Avatards! book in tow. (brought to you by Wide Awake Press.)

So, if you wanna hang out, drink overpriced beer behind a folding table, then let’s do this up right.

Don’t let the name fool you. Yes, super heroes are well represented at this convention sure, but as Shannon pointed out in his blog, there will be plenty for the rest of us hipster snobs that wouldn’t touch  cape with a ten-foot pole.

Thanks again, Shannon, and I’m sorry you won’t be there this year.

So, uh come by and say “HI!”and I’ll give you something neat*.

See ya in a few, true believers!

* Our ideas of neat may vary.

Hey Y’all! Got any nerdy summer plans?  Well, you do now, sucker!

Come one, come all to the greatest comic convention this side of the Mason-Dixon, Heroes Convention Or Heroes Con, if you prefer. Take a peek at the guests that are gonna be there, but be forewarned. You best be on the toilet, ‘cos you are gonna shit.

Most importantly, come out  and see my me n’ my pals, Brad McGinty, J.Chris Campbell, Rob Ullman and Sally Bloodbath in Indie Island. We’ll all have new comics, dry goods and sundries for you to purchase.

Like what you ask?

Well, I for one, will have not one, not three but TWO NEW BOOKS from Wide Awake Press.

Rejected by life and love, Rashy Rabbit turns to the life of a hippie nomad along with his friend Jimmy, drinking dumpster wine and traveling aimlessly. When a crash sends him whirling into a boob and tomahawk infested adventure with an unexpected twist.

Ever fancy yourself to be a rock star? How about a cowgirl or a dinosaur? The cyber world is now just as important as the real world, so why not let your avatar represent the real you? These are some examples of how the artistic talent of Josh Latta has encapsulated the true essence of people, and transformed them into wild and wonderful things

HEROES CONVENTION was founded in 1982 by Shelton Drum, owner of Charlotte’s Heroes Aren’t Hard To Find comics shop. Since then the convention has become famous for its comics-first and family-friendly atmosphere, where fans can mingle directly with professionals and exhibitors. Boasting an incredible guest list built mainly on reputation and goodwill, HeroesCon is known nationwide as a “must” on the summer schedule, drawing fans, exhibitors, and creators from every region of the country to the Charlotte Convention Center.

So, will I see you there?

(Carrying heavy things sure is hard.)

I haven’t hadda chance to talk much write about FLUKE yet, but like, Shannon took care of that for me. Click HERE to Shannon Smith’s photo-documentary of FLUKE at his fabulous blog, “File Under Other.”

(an example of the pics you’ll find on Shannon’s blog. Here’s a pic of Shannon and Brad. Get some sun, dudes)

Not enough pictures for you? Well then, click HERE to see Robert Newsome’s Flickr page.

(Robert and his chin.)

Stop the press! HERE’s an article on the artist of FLUKE. For the record, I never said I was influenced by M.A.S.K. that’s just retarded.

It’s here, man. It’s here! All the ink sweat and tears have paid off. Redskin Rashy will be available here on this site in the next few days or so. Keep checking back. What can I tell ya? Oh yeah, this issue is brought to you by Wide Awake Press, so needless to say, the production values are the best of all of the Rashy comics. In fact, you have my permission to throw them all away. My life moves in one direction, baby.

If checking back isn’t your thing, you could always chase me down and get your copy of “Redskin Rashy” at the finest mini comic festival this side of the Mississippi, FLUKE.

FLUKE is in Athens Georgia on Saturday April 4th and opens at 11:00 AM and closes by 6 PM. It will be held upstairs at Tasty World and the admission is $5.00. Hey, you gotta coupla mini comics you freshly folded and you want to sell ‘em? No sweat. You can exhibit for the price of admission just so there is a table. First come first serve, dude. Get there early. Not too early though, I want to make sure I have a table. Did I mention that Tasty World is a bar? No? well it is, smartypants.

Also, I think it’d be in your best interest to pick up the brand-new FLUKE anthology.
