I’m getting myself geared up for the 2nd annual Minneapolis Indie Xpo (MIX), which is taking place November 5-6. I exhibited there last year and it was an all-around good show. Last year it took place in June (or something like that) but now it’s moved to late Fall, so we’ll see if that’s a good thing or not. Either way, I’m looking forward to it, if, for no other reason, than to just get a few days away. I’m working on a bunch of acrylic paintings that I’ll have for sale at the show. For the most part. they’re pretty bad-ass. And, of course, I’ll be pimping Breathers to everyone I can. Should be fun.

I had a great time at the Wizard World Comic Con in Chicago this past weekend. I met and chatted with a lot of great people and Breathers was very well-received. Thanks to everyone who came out to the show and stopped by my table and kept me from getting too terribly bored over the three very long days. Sales on the Breathers GN were great and I couldn’t be happier about that. I will definitely be back next year for more.

Next show I’ll be at is the Minneapolis Indie Xpo, which happens the first weekend in November. I’ll be spending the time between now and then trying to get Breathers in to more stores and working on my next GN project, which I am keeping a secret for now. But, I’ll tell you about it soon. I promise.

I’ll be exhibiting at Wizard World Chicago next weekend, so if you’re in the area, be sure to stop by and say hi. You can also help protect me from all the weird costumed people. I’ll have copies of the BREATHERS Graphic Novel for sale, as well as some T-shirts, prints and maybe some originals.

The Breathers screenplay adaptation (written by Will Wallace & Adrianna McKinley) is a finalist in the Script Pipeline Competition. Out of over 3500 entries, it was chosen as one of the ten best. That’s nothing to sneeze at. Now, Will & Adrianna will get to pitch Breathers to a bunch of important people and, hopefully, we’ll all be watching Breathers on TV of in the theater very soon. Reel Chicago wrote up a little something about this, as well. Read it HERE.

I’ll be exhibiting at Heroes Convention in Charlotte, NC  June 3-5.  It’s been 3 years since I’ve been to this show, but I remember it having a really laid-back and comfortable feel.  I’m really looking forward to it.  I’ll have copies of the Breathers GN along, as well as some prints and original art for sale.

And, after the show, it’s family vacation time.  We’ll be heading to the NC Coast for some fun in the sun.

I am now offering Breathers books as digital copies, so you can download and read them on your laptop, iPad, iPhone or other PDF reader.  Just go to the HERE and buy the digital eBooks using PayPal.  The download link will be sent to your email within seconds.   Then just upload it to whatever device you want and you’re good to go.

The collected Breathers Graphic Novel costs $12.99 and the singles issues costs $2.00 each.

So, tell your friends and get to reading!

This weekend, I will be  traveling to NYC for MoCCA Fest.  I’ll be armed with copies of the “Breathers” graphic novel, as well as a bunch of art prints and original drawings which I will be more than happy to sell to you. So, if you’re there, make sure to stop by my table and say “hey.”

Here’s where I’ll be:

I’m looking forward to a fun, yet busy weekend in the Big Apple.  I plan on eating a lotta pizza pie!

Although I plan on “officially” debuting the BREATHERS GRAPHIC NOVEL in New York next week, I wanted to make the book available for you to buy online now.  I mean, why wait around, right?

So, you can order a copy of the new book here or through my ETSY SHOP.

Here’s a bit about the story:

The air is no longer safe to breathe.  A virus has been unleashed into the air, rendering it deadly to humans.  People have adapted to this world, wearing respiratory masks, or “breathers,” when they go outside.  They have adapted and life goes on much as it did before, although, with a very real fear of death looming over their every breath.

The story of Breathers follows a small cast of individuals as they struggle to make sense of the dystopian world they live in.  Among them: a detective whose addiction to the drug known as “Filter K” takes over his life.  A brother and sister who, due to recent events, start to wonder if the air really is deadly, or if it’s all just a conspiracy.  A mother and daughter who will do anything to keep their family together.  And a breather salesman who is looking to make amends for his past mistakes.  They are all survivors of this virus-plagued world.  They are all “breathers.”

I’m super-excited to announce that I will be debuting the BREATHERS graphic novel at MoCCA Fest (April 9-10) in NYC.  The book collects the six issues of BREATHERS, as well as issue #0 and includes a cover gallery.  That’s over 400 pages of story!

The books just arrived today and they look pretty amazing, if I do say so myself.  I will have the books available at MoCCA Fest along with art prints and a smattering of original art, both BREATHERS and non-BREATHERS related.

After I get back from the show, I will have the book for sale on this site.  Here’s what the cover looks like:

Breathers #6 is completed and ready for purchase in my ETSY SHOP and here (under the BOOKS header).  It is the final issue of the series.  I will also be releasing a Breathers graphic novel, which will collect the entire series in one volume.  That will be coming out in April.  I will be self-publishing it and it will be awesome.  More details soon…

Here’s the cover to #6.  Buy it.  Please.
