THE NEW BLOOD FORCE X-DIVERS EXTREME FORCE EXTREME! (or: What we did at NY Comic Con)

It belongs in a MUSEUM!

With a bit of a rocky start due to airline shenanigans, Bohemian Trash Studios made a damn good showing at New York Comic Con '08! The Path sold great. Star-Crossed Destiny sold great. Dis: Life is Hell sold great. Zona sold great. Sketches were sold, prints were sold, and people kept coming to the booth looking for the creators of the comics we had.

Like with most cons, inside jokes were flying like bullets at a rap show. It was a good weekend, albeit a rather sleepless one. Also, Juno looks so much like my Aunt Jane that it's creepy. We remain convinced we are related somehow.

But you guys don't give a crap about that. You want PICTURES! Well, you'll have to settle with pics from Sunday...because it's all I've got at the moment.

Check out that rack (The comic one. It was pretty cool.)

A blurry pic of the banners. There's a better one somewhere. I'll post it when I find it.


Oh, and one video of Juno rocking out.

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!
