new to the store

Hey Droogies, I just updated the Dogspunk.com store to include new items that have become available recently, as well as clear out some of the deadwood like shirts with just a few stragglers left over, pin-ups that don't seem to sell on line, and sold-out items.

A month ago my Dagon shirts became available. I debut them on Ebay, but I'm not so sure I will keep them up for sale there. Ebay offers a great convenience, but costs too much to maintain if sales aren't up. Ah well, my own store works fine :)

Last weekend was Bent-Con 2014, and there I debut Feral and the Ghost Skater #2, a long time in the making. I will go in depth about the book in a separate blog entry. These "Bent-Con 2014 Specials Editions" are sold, are slightly different from the final version of #2, which will probably be out next year.

Please check the store out and expect a mailing list e-mail blast about it in the near future!
Cheers,
DDOG '14

SD comic-con

I'll be in San Diego for Comic-con over the next few days. It's the first time in a while I am not going as "marginalized publications".  I'll mainly be there as a promoter of Bent-Con, recruiting artists for the gallery show and for the contest to name the iconic characters (see card below). Also looking for sponsors and what-not. Bent-con will have a space at the Prism booth (#2144).

Secondarily, I'll be there as a Judge Dredd fan. The film "Dredd" comes out in september, and 2000ad, rebellion, and IDW are all having a big JD presence: panels, signings, et al.. Plus an advance screening of the film that I won tickets to.
Next year we will revert to our regularly scheduled convention schedule of tabling at a booth selling my wares.
See you there!

and another thing...

Something else that has kept me busy the past week is designing the teaser flyer for Bent-con 2012, and since we have a theme this year, being 2012 (as in the Mayan end of the world), and emphasis on the world since this year will see more international guests, we needed new artwork. I intended it to be a lot rougher than this, but ended up enjoying playing around in photoshop and the result was something very "artsy".

I am pretty happy with it.

I would also be remiss if I didn't acknowledge some inspiration taken from Brute/Aidan Hughes' "Godlike" artwork for KMFDM.

Short Attention Span Theatre/ Stray Bullet page 10

Hey it's been a while since I have had a comic out, I've been busy with my day job and also helping to put Bent-con together. As of today I give myself permission to indulge my ADD and to post/publish pages from the half dozen stories I am working on in my head as they are completed, not chaining myself to one or another, which tends to get me stuck, creatively.

Stories I am working on are:
Stray Bullet - Continuing stories of Feral, the Ghost Skater, and Doug.
Code Blue - Zane and Gunnar and sex-life after death.
Loose - the Ghost Skater's journey through the otherworlds to keep a crazed Feral in check.
the Rubicon - my sci-fi epic. a martian cat-burglar becomes an agent of freedom.
the Curious Case of the Persuasive Pup - a "Lovecraftian" tale written by Daniel Stewart and myself.
the Old Man and the Fish - a young man's new pet has a very old and evil soul, written by Steve Lozier.
oh, and of course;
Rainbow Warrior - my ongoing strip for the Fight magazine, about a gay MMA fighter

So without further ado, here is page 10 from "Stray Bullet", pages 1-9 appeared in Feral and the Ghost Skater #1.

Jezza Smilez!

There is an interview with me on Jezza's blog, setting off his count-down to bent-con 2011!

Check it out, bastiches!

Bent-Con is 21 days away!

something I am working on for the convention...

This will be the cover of a FERAL sketchbook/scrapbook I am putting together. Grant Benedict is puzzled by petroglyphs, unaware of his impending encounter with Kwewu in his human form...

web-banners for bent-con!

I just whipped up a few web-banners for bent-con.org!

Go to this page here to swipe some for your own use. It took me a while to figure out the html involved, so if it don't work, let me know. The instructions for blogger work fine, as evidenced by the banner on the side of my blog here :)
