Antisocial: No One Will Get This

So, yeah. No one will really get today's Antisocial. That's ok, though. Maybe one or two of you will, and it'll give you a chuckle. Lisa's one of those unattainably hot/cool trendy girls who works at this little hole-in-the-wall record store that I always go into looking for weird shit. Our conversations are exactly like this: song quotes. Nothing more.


Also, issue #1 of The Path is on sale NOW! Click here to get yourself a copy!

Antisocial: Speed Dating

So about a month or so ago, my friend Chris and I went to one of the "Speed Dating" things up in Santa Monica. For those of you unfamiliar with the concept...watch "The 40yr Old Virgin". The following account is almost 100% accurate (I think I drank a LOT more than shown). This proves my continuing stance that I should not be allowed out in public.

The Rioteer: Iguana Doom Preview

Just a quick little preview of pages for The Rioteer: Iguana Doom. It's kind of fun redrawing these pages from their original strip-style to full page versions. I've got the first ten pages penciled. These are the only two I'm done inking so far.

It's even more fun because I know that Dave (Acadia) is going to be coloring them.

Sketch card Dump: Part 3

...and that's it for today.
If you want a sketch card, most of you know how to reach me. Those of you that don't, well...riot.james@gmail.com.

They're 3"x4" and colored with Prismacolor markers. I've been selling them for $5 a pop, and they seem to be moving pretty well. Which is cool. Can't turn down extra money.

Sketch card Dump: Part 2

So, after WWLA I got a bunch of emails requesting more sketch cards. So...here's some more of them.

Long Over-due Update

Yeah, i should actually post here every once in a while, huh?

Let's see...where to begin?

Wizard World La was fun. Mainly because the weekend really consisted of Carly and me making fun of each other while doing sketches and drawings for people. Carly was doing quick sketches of people for $1 and probably did about 300 sketches by the time we closed up shop on Sunday. I did half that number (because I did mine in color), but still made some decent money. I plan to spend it on beer.

I met Angus Oblong, who is really cool, and am working on getting him to do a guest cover. I'm offering booze, so he might take it. Also, the ridiculously gorgeous girl working his booth with him thought I was cute and gave me her number. Clearly, this means she's insane, but we all know I likes my women good n' crazy.

Speaking of booze, I kept smuggling it into the show. Fun times were had by all.

The nice people at the table next to us bought sketches from Carly and myself, and even gave us cookies! Even better than cookies, I was given commissions for a comic art gallery because everyone digs my marker work. Really, who can blame them? I'm fucking awesome at it.

The Path has found a home in the print media! After shopping it around, and fielding a few offers, I decided to go with Bohemian Trash Studios. Mainly because I really dig Juno's comic "Star Crossed Destiny", and The Path'd be coming out in print alongside it. Plus, they're not making me change any of the more disturbing aspects of The Path like some of the other studios wanted me to. The Path's print run debuts at New York Comic Con in April, and will be available...um...in places and on-line.I'll post info and links as I get them.

Even crazier than the rest...I got an offer to pitch The Path to Dreamworks! Fuckin' A! Apparently the gentleman that came by liked the strange premises (premisees? premisai?) of The Path and The Rioteer and wants me to pitch ideas to the studio. I figured this was just some fruitless gabbing on his part, but he found me again the next day with several other men in suits in tow and made sure to introduce me to all of them and give me cards and make sure I was going to call to set up an appointment. Who knows? maybe you'll see Chance get the shit kicked out of him on the big/little screen?

There's probably a thousand more things I should be writing about here, but I'm a little busy trying to get a head-start on drawings to give away at NYCC next month.

James Riot...AWAY!
