The Books Have Arrived!

We got our copies of the book in today!

So the next few weeks will be dedicated to shipping out the Kickstarter rewards. I’ll be signing and doodling until my arm falls off; it’ll be great!

 

The remaining books will be available for sale soon in the Q2Q Comics Shop!

USITT Update and a Book Signing Tomorrow!

This week at USITT 2016 in Salt Lake City has been incredible so far! 

Lots of folks have been coming up to say hi and introduce themselves, which is a lot of fun. I’ve met a ton of talented artists this year, and got to speak in front of a whole host of people yesterday morning at the Young Designers and Technicians Awards!

   

Thanks to David, Janet, and Carol from USITT for all of their help and effort this week!

I got to see a physical copy of the book for the first time! And then the USITT bookstore promptly sold out of copies of Q2Q Comics Vol. 1 on Wednesday, which has me flabbergasted. The response this year has been exhilarating. 

  
Tomorrow, that is to say Saturday 3/19, starting at 10am is my first actual book signing! We’ll be outside of the bookstore on the Stage Expo floor. Don’t be fooled by the name “book signing”: I’ll be signing damn near anything placed in front of me. Books, prints, shirts, napkin ground plans, whatever you’ve got! Oh, and taking pictures of us together to make your friends who couldn’t make it super jealous is totally cool, too. 

Oh, and we’ll have original comics art for sale, too! (We’re better set up this year to accept both cash and major credit cards, so no worries.)

  

Any way, hope to see you tomorrow, if you can make it!

Vote for a new Q2Q Crew Member!

I’ll be away this week at USITT in Salt Lake City, so there won’t be full comics on Wednesday or Friday, though I’ll probably be doing sketches and posting updates, so make sure to check  twitter, Facebook, tumblr, and instagram.

In the mean time, I’ve got a favor to ask of you! I’m going to be adding some new characters to the Q2Q Crew and I want your input!

 

Have at it! The voting ends on 3/20 at midnight.

Book Signing at USITT in SLC!

I’ll be at the USITT conference again this year! It’s in what I can only assume is beautiful Salt Lake City. I’ll probably be wandering around the stage expo most of the time all slack jawed and awestruck by all the cool stuff. So, you could try to catch me there, just don’t sneak up on me because I know Tae Kwon Do and, while I might be rusty, those instincts are still intact. So watch out!

USITT 2015

OR! (and I would prefer this) you could just catch me during the scheduled Book Signing event on Saturday 3/19 at 10am!

There’ll be copies of the book for sale at the USITT Bookstore during the conference along with some t-shirts (including the return of the Thank You Five shirt!) and a selection of prints (Anatomy prints for each character, and a couple of different full comics). We’ll also have original artwork from the comics for sale during the signing. And while it’s called a “book signing,” don’t let the name fool you; I’ll sign anything put in front of me. That’s an exaggeration. No it’s not. Either way, we can test the limits of that statement on 3/19.

Or you could come to the Young Designers and Technicians awards on Thursday at 10am and listen to me give a, what’s it called? Remarky talky thing? A speech! That’s the one. You heard it right: they somehow managed to talk me into speaking at the YD&T Awards. I’ll do my best.

Here’s a lovely article from USITT’s Sightlines announcing what all I’m doing at the conference. 

Q2Q on Vacation!

Hello dear readers!

Yesterday we approved the proof for the book and it has been sent to the printers! So everything is out of hands until the books come in. I am very excited to share it with you all. (Oh, and there’s a super secret surprise on the cover!)

I am personally exhausted, so I am taking a short vacation.  I flew out to Seattle to spend a few days with my girlfriend and her family, and she and I will be driving back to Maryland over the next week, visiting some friends along the way.

The Q2Q comics online Shop will be closed until 1/21/16.

New comics will resume on 1/25/16.

Thanks! See you all again soon.
