More Spookytown Freebies

I got the rest of my free stuff in the mail from Vista Print, they came out really great. And Lan, there are no watermarks on these. The only thing I can think of is that maybe if you use one of their business card templates, they might have them on there. I got a second set of the shot of them in the Gum Shoe Investigation office, but added a design to the back. I also got the red graveyard scene on a postcard, also with a back design. And lastly, I made little business card size ones of the swamp scene.Now I have a whole shelf of goodies to use to promote the book once it comes out. I'll mail them out to comic book stores, drop them on freebie tables on cons, and hand them out at my own table.

Belated Spookytown Page Count

I can't believe I forgot to post this. I took this shot a few weeks ago. 37 pages in the can.

New Spookytown Promo Postcards

Every so often, I get these promotions from Overnight Prints and / or Vista Prints for 50 or 100 free postcards. So I try to whip up a new Spookytown and take advantage of the deals. Here is the latest one I created. I should have some more stuff to show in a few weeks. I am still hard at work on the book. I'm doing something each day on it. Lately that hasn't been much, but it's been something, which is better than nothing.

Whatever happened to Skunk Comics?

I was wondering this the other night and thought I'd try to see what those guys are up to these days. If you're familiar with the Dallas comic book scene, you'll probably remember them from the local shows and for their book ITA Code of the Dragon. They were around when I first started doing appearances at cons and I thought it was cool meeting some local guys who were publishing comics... Sam Bohon, Sally Ridout and Walker Plagge. I didn't get to hang out with them much but when I did talk to them, they all seemed really cool. Anyway, after a rudimentary Google search...

Walker - Came across his family blog, seems to be teaching and is married with two kids... http://dollyep.blogspot.com (be sure to check out the cool mural he did for this little boys room). And I found his deviantART page... http://cobaltmonkee.deviantart.com/

Sally - She has a website... http://soliloquy.sridout.com/

Sam - Looks like he might have published a couple ITA graphic novel, but I really couldn't find a website for him anywhere.

Maybe they'll Google themselves someday, find this post and report in. Or I bet Samax might know what they're up to...
