Yes, we here at Blind Alley Comics are working feverishly through the night to prepare for the Motor City Comic Con! It's been, what...two years? We haven't attended many Cons, mostly due to financial constraints, though more likely because we're (ahem) lazy. But no more! From this con forward, we will attempt to attend at least one a year.
Big things happening. The Bone Boy website is inching forward. Bone Boy #3 is due out in May, as is The Human Cannonball #4. We're lean, we're hungry, we're chock-full of ideas, we're beginning to look askance at our day jobs with sulky resentment. Beyond Motor City Con, we're heading to Chicago Con, and...a remote possibility...San Diego Con. There's a feeling of do-or-die around here. Chicago and San Diego especially will be choice areas for schmoozing, if only to find some distributors. We've been trapped in small-time artboy limbo for too long, and it's time to go big or go get some better cliches.
I know I haven't posted much art here in a while; that's cause I haven't had a lot to show. So much for the sketch-a-day thing. It's mostly the fault of THC #4, which has been soaking up a lot of my time. Tell you what, here's some preliminary pages:
That's 1-4, respectively; the finals may look a bit different and will have speech balloons and whatnot. This issue has been particularly challenging because, at 28 pages, it's the longest Human Cannonball issue to date. Expect the next few issues to be somewhat shorter.
Once I get a cover I'll go ahead and post it. Till then, stay classy.
