The DCP art show opening was - for all intents and purposes - a success. Out of the dank, unswept recess that is Basement 414, the intrepid Joe Haines and myself forged a show-space from pure will (and some dividers and black fabric). We have about twenty pieces up so far, with more on the way.
It was a little dicey there at the beginning - they opened the Basement up around 6:30 pm , instead of the requested 5:00, and so we were still setting up when the show was supposed to open. That was okay, though, because nobody showed up until around 9. Needless to say, your favorite blogger was a little bummed. Thankfully Joe was able to provide some encouragement ("Dude, it's the Basement - I wasn't expecting anyone to show up on time anyway"). At any rate, we did manage to lure some poor unfortunates into our web. They were quickly devoured, except for the vital organs, which were kept fresh for later consumption.
A quick update on the show: the Grand Closing will be on Saturday, December 5th, not December 6th. Apparently there was a scheduling conflict with another group having an art show at the Basement (which will in no way be as cool as ours).
In other DCP news: Bone Boy #1 will probably be delayed till next month. This is not ideal; however, starting out as we are, things often get in the way that we have no control over. If this potential delay proves to be the case, your favorite blogger will probably be rushing his own comic into production so we can meet the November deadline. This is in keeping with the Dark Corner Productions philosophy: an individual artist may not meet his deadline, but DCP will always have a comic out on time. And that time is the 20th of the month. No matter what, come hell or high water (or both, which would make a lot of steam), DCP will always get its comic.
At any rate, right now I'll have to get back and finish up that comic. Tonight and Wednesday I'll do more pages; by Thursday afternoon I'll get it off to the printer. It will be out by Friday. Whether or not I can get any promotion done or anything will be debatable - I'm not sure what I'll do with fifty unsold copies - but it will be out. Make sure and let me know if you want one.
