A little help for a guy who needs a lot of help

Hey everyone look it’s the lovely Scarlett Johansson! That can only mean one thing…ok you got me…two things. Jason has news! And well, ahem… you can figure out the other.

So onto the news!

I’m just going to level with everyone. The following will be nothing more than a shameless borderline pathetic promotion for a buddy of mine. And by buddy I mean charity case, and by charity case I mean he has a bad haircut, like really bad.

So the name of this charity case with a bad haircut is Henry Eudy.  I have know Henry since I was like 12 or 13. I remember we would draw Bill the Cat and Garfield battles in …English?…Math? Fuck I don’t really remember what class it was because we were drawing the whole time.  Anyway point is I have known him forever and although I hadn’t seen him in years he contacted me last year after finding my website while Googling the word “awesome” and as a result we started sharing ideas again etc.

Which brings me to my point (finally).

Henry is looking to self-publish a book and he wants you to be a part of it! Now remember I have nothing to do with this aside from this shameless promotion so please…please direct all you questions to Henry, via his Deviantart page or email.

Below are all the sorrid details taken from his Deviantart page.

THEME: The anthology will be called “FUGLY ANIMALS” as a playful tribute/mockery of the children’s comics of the Fifties (FUNNY ANIMALS) and will feature all animal based comics. I’m primarily interested in humorous comics but I certainly won’t turn away submissions that are adventure, fantasy or fact based or anything else based for that matter. They just have to be about animals, the characters should be animals. If a few humans show up in supporting roles that’s OK but the primary players should be bestial.

PAGES: I’m intending for the book to be between 24-28 pages long and I’m limiting submissions to a 4 page maximum per story. You may feel free to submit as many stories, gags or strips as you like as long as no individual submission is longer than 4 pages in length.

I’m not setting a particular size requirement or restriction but please be aware that the final book will probably be standard comic book size (about 6.5 inches wide by 10 inches tall) so if your submission can be easily manipulated to fit such a page, then all the better.

SCANS: Submissions should be made through emailing me the pages in TIFF format at at least 300 dpi resolution and in grayscale. Sorry, no color on the interior pages.

The cover, however, will be in color and I will accept submissions in the same format and resolution for the cover and back cover illustrations if you feel you must work with a rainbow of fruit flavor.

WHAT DO YOU GET?: Well as I’ve already said, there is no money to be made here by submitting comics to my anthology. At best you’ll just get to see your work in print and have something to show your stoner friends who, I promise, will not care a bit. Even so, my heart is not so cold as to not offer contributors some small payment for their time behind the pencil. And so, every person who makes the book will receive 3 (count ‘em 3) free copies of the anthology upon its debut. Also if you want to buy more copies later on, I’ll give you a discount.

DEADLINE: The deadline for submissions is Sunday, February 28, 2010. I’ll be happy to receive anything you want to send me before that date but, really and truly, nothing after it. I’m hoping to get the book assembled and printed by the end of April 2010.

So that’s it folks, FUGLY ANIMALS, comics about animals, TIFF files, 300 dpi, grayscale, no more than 4 pages, by the end of February. Got it? Send your stuff to me at; jevacat23@gmail.com and let’s rock this sucker!

 So there you have it! All kidding aside Henry is a great guy (minus the haircut) and anyone who signs up for this project will receive 20 cool points from me.

You can decide the name of my Sketchbook!

Hello everyone. How are you doing today? Sure ok that’s great now enough about you. Let’s talk about me now. After this entire journal is about me right? Exactly.

As most of you know (or should know) the Heroes con is this weekend and although I almost everything ready to go, I still need to name my sketchbook! That is why I turned to my fans (both of you) for ideas. I posted both here and on my deviantart that anyone who could think of an awesome name would receive a sketch from me either at the con or through the mail. You can only imagine the huge response I received (seriously you can only imagine it) but I did receive a couple of awesome ideas.

Now since I still have a few things to finish up before the con I don’t have time to decide so I want you (yes you) to let me know what name best fits my sketchbook. All you need to do is simply comment here or on my deviantart for the name that you like best. That’s it!

I would really appreciate it. Again just let me know which of the following names suits my sketchbook. Thanks.

Hot Copic
Bitches ‘n Robots (but mostly bitches)
Babes, Bots & Beasts
McDoodles

Thanks everyone.

The best news you will read in the next 5 minutes

The Heroes Comic Convention is next weekend (June 19-21) and it is shaping up to be a phenomenal convention this year. Two of my favorites Adam Hughes and Frank Cho will be there as well as both Marvel and DC comics. But the biggest news is that….are you ready? Make sure you’re sitting down.

I will be doing commissions and sketches at the Con this year.

I know incredible right? This is like finding out you can shit gold or something. Anyway I will be at SP-02 revealing secrets of the world, doing sketches, and selling prints along with my currently unnamed sketchbook.

Speaking of which if anyone here can come up with a really super awesome name let me know right here right now. If I pick your really super awesome name I will do a sketch for you or something along those lines. Sound good? Of course it does. Just try and have any names in by June 17th. The clock starts now.

In closing if your are going to be at the con I hope you will stop by and say hello, pick up a print, buy me a 1972 ‘cuda or a 22 year old Scarlett Johansson, your choice.

Anyway don’t forget to post some names for my sketchbook. I look forward to hearing what you come up with and hope to see you at the Heroes con.

See you on the other side, whatever that means.
