July - Need your input! Shortbox! Merchandise!

Hi folks!

Life has been wobbling a lot lately since my birthday. There was another death in the family (best friend’s side again) and that had a lot of issues that came with it. Along with Twitter crashing into the ground coinciding with my immense depression, I’ve been having a lot of highs and lows.

That said, I might be starting another big big BIG project soon. This news has come with a lot of intense introspection on what I want to be doing in life and how I am going to interact with folks.

Let’s start with some news:

Shortbox Comic Fair!

My comic is nearly complete. After scrapping a 30+ paged comic, I ended up with a small 16 paged comic (which is the minimum page count) that I’ll be presenting instead. I haven’t said much about it, but posted some tidbits online. It’s VERY self indulgent, and kind of says nothing! Which means, once again, my comic will be available for free for everyone who will be shopping online at the fair. Hehehe! I’ll have it available for download for free after the fair here as well.

Here are some of the pages without tones or text!

MERCHANDISE!

Excited to get back into making merchandise. I’m making a bunch of small things in preparations for SPX (Small Press Expo) but I’m going to aim for making more purses and having preorders available on Kickstarter really soon. When? Not sure! My life is a bit chaotic right now!

My plans are to:

  • Make more bags!

  • Make button up shirts!

  • Make collars!

  • Make more enamel pins!

Would love your input on this!

I’m hoping to catalog all my merch production and suppliers, with reviews and common issues I run into. Is there anything else you all would be interested in me talking about in general, or things I should include in my merch production?

TAKE CARE! Another update soon to come.
