Dust Bunny Vlog #3

Well, the last couple weeks have been huge leaps and bounds in the world of Dust Bunny.

The pages are looking great (as great as I can make them), and with one third of the book's art now complete, here's a celebratory video blog update recapping some of the exciting opportunities I've had in correlation with the book's progress!

Also, I talk to a goose.

Enjoy!

All Work and No Play. Sort of.

Amazing supporters!

I hope everyone is having a great week so far. Dust Bunny pages have been my life ever since Kickstarter ended, and the end of this week should mark the 1/3 point for the book's completion (art, that is).

I'm averaging about 1-1.5 pages per day. That includes roughs, inks, toning, and texturing each page. It's an incredible undertaking, but I am loving every one of the 600 minutes that it costs me every day to work on this book. I couldn't be happier with how things are turning out. The more I work, the faster I get. I'm seeing clear advances in technique and comfort with the pages, as well. And for me, personally, that's a very exciting thing to witness.

I'm dropping you a little snippet of art here. It's difficult to choose what I disclose in these updates at this point, simply because the book is full of a lot of fun characters and I don't want to spoil any surprises.

But as for now, here's a frightened sponge running by Dust Bunny, and a work in progress of our hero punching a rat. Enjoy!

SEQA Lab Interview.

This past Friday, I had the extreme honor to be interviewed on SEQA Lab - a podcast that covers a myriad of topics in the comics world. It was hosted by John Larison, Becca Hillburn, Rebecca Mehnert, and Lewis Squeezy Jones. They record every Friday from Norris Hall at the Savannah College of Art and Design (in Savannah, GA), and post the shows on Monday.

We chatted about a number of topics surrounding the process of Dust Bunny, as well as the role that Kickstarter has played in the whole endeavor. The videos that I post on here are always entertaining to piece together. But there's something very disarming about a live interview, and I was really pleased with the candid lining that came through during the questions. The whole thing turned out great. Take a listen below!

And stay tuned. I'll be posting another video update soon, covering a couple of really great opportunities that I had to share Dust Bunny with interested (and potential) readers!

Everybody Have Fund Tonight.

Funding successful!

Not only was the goal reached. It was smashed in the face!


So, now what? Well, from here on out, my number one priority is comic book pages. I'll be keeping you all updated on the progress of the book throughout the rest of the year (via Facebook, Twitter, this blog, and Kickstarter), so keep checking back.

But for now, enjoy this little thank you vlog that I cut together with help from Jason Sheedy and Joshua David Matthews.

One Day Left!

Well, this is it everyone!

With one day left, Dust Bunny is going out with a bang! Interest for the comic is continuing to pour in (even since this morning), and I'm simply floored. At the beginning of next week I'll be posting the new video blog, which will answer a few questions regarding what's in store for Dust Bunny throughout the remainder of 2011.

I can't say thank you enough to everyone! Your support for this book has been incredible, and I can hardly wait to make this graphic novel my full-time gig.

And there's still one more sunny day to tell your friends!

Two Days Left!

Two days to go!

It's been an amazing past 48 hours, actually. Thanks to all the incredible support, Dust Bunny's Kickstarter goal has more than tripled since Tuesday!

I'm currently piecing the second vlog update together, and will have it up sometime next week. So keep stopping by.

I'll do my best to make it great!

3 Days!

These promos have been fun to put together. They take practically no time and, surprisingly, have yielded results every time I've put one together. And you all have been great sports, allowing me to have fun with this whole promotional thing. I appreciate it.

Aside from the non-contextual speech bubbles, almost all of them have been actual art from the Dust Bunny book. So, it's sort of like a sneak preview. Right? Right...?

Advertising isn't so bad.
