We're nearing $19k...

C2E2 is this weekend!

I'll be tabling in Artist's Alley at C2E2 for the first time from Friday through Sunday. Come find me at F-14!

It promises to be a great show with a lot of great creators, hope to see you there if you're going!


Now a few cool campaigns to check out!

Lampblack

LAMPBLACK is a limited comic series written by Camille Longley with art by Pablo Peppino and letters by JoelSaavedra. It's an oversized 8.5x11 inch landscape comic in a sweeping cinematic style. Lampblack has everything you expect in a coming-of-age story: horrifying ink monsters, wondrous forbidden magic, American Sign Language, runaways, and a cat (of course).

Lampblack is a story of friendship, family, and war, set in a fantastical world depicted in stunning detail. If you're a fan of Studio Ghibli, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Sabrina, or Pokémon, you will love exploring the world of Lampblack--a place filled with incredible creatures and fascinating magic.

The art is gorgeous on this one, so check it out!

Once Upon a Hero

From first time comic creator and friend Seth Horton:

It's a series with each issue tackling a different story on why the characters are no longer superheroes and their struggle of living an ordinary existence. First issue is about John Hartwell who is a retired superhero, due to his powers fading over time. You get to relive a moment when John was once The Westerner, a cowboy with the power to shoot energy from his fingertips and crosshair in his eye for precision aiming. Filled with action and suspense, in a different take on the superhero genre, that looks into other aspects of their life. With a dramatic ending to a heartfelt story.

Good evening all!

Just getting back from San Diego Comic Con and man was it a blast!

It was great seeing so many friends and making new ones at the biggest comic convention in the world.

It's certainly a topic that may come up in tonight's live show with awesome indie supporter Blake on Blake's Buzz!

Live at 10PM EST!

White Ash's own Charlie Stickney and Crossover Division's Will Allred will be joining the craziness that is a Blake's Buzz show. Make sure you tune in for what promises to be a wild time!


Speaking of Will Allred... he has an awesome Kickstarter running right now, too!

Crossover Division #'s 1-4

When stories come to life and threaten to fracture reality beyond repair, only an English professor and a research librarian have the knowledge and smarts to save us all. Join Hank Wallace and Hector Ramirez in Crossover Division #4 as a Shakespeareantragedy unfolds in a small, midwestern town! Hank and Hector encounter the mysterious Betsy while trying to end the crossover and prevent Shakespearean tragedy from engulfing the world.

Gettin' Cheeky with it!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/patshand/cheeky-a-nsfw-graphic-novel

For those of you who like something a little spicier, don't miss Kickstarter master Pat Shand's Cheeky!

Imagine a device that, when held by a couple, makes music as they touch...

Imagine a fan-fic writer attempting to appease her long-distant girlfriend with steamy stories...

Imagine a couple getting hot and heavy as someone else witnesses, fantasizing in ways they couldn't dream of...

Imagine all of those stories coming together for a sexy and hilarious climax at a booty contest...

These four stories, drawn by some of comics' top talent, all come together in the spiciest graphic novel you'll read this year. If you're a fan of comics like Sunstone or Smut Peddler, you'll love CHEEKY's funny, emotional, character-driven erotica.

CHEEKY is a 50-page graphic novel from the team that brought you DESTINYNY, THIRSTY, and more. We are Pat Shand and Amy Shand, a writer team and married couple <3, and this is our 23rd Kickstarter.

Just a few days left on this one, so don't miss out! BACK IT HERE!


We're still trucking along here on this campaign and working toward that next stretch goal! Back soon!

San Diego Comic Con

Comic Con is back and I'll be here all weekend! I'll be floating around the convention, but spending time at table F-4 as well.

Speaking of SDCC, my friend and creator of White Ash will be here too and you should back...

Glarien of White Ash #1-2

Charlie Stickney's campaign is killing it. If you haven't checked it out, you should get on! It really seems like a world Jessamy would fit in well...

Death Sentence Liberty 1 to 6

Here's another cool one to check out with an all-star creative team!

Cover art talent on this series is epic with covers and prints by Ben Oliver, (Marvel, DC, Image) Luke Ross (Marvel),  Ben Willsher, (2000ad) Monty Nero (Marvel, DC, Titan), Martin Simmonds (Image, Vault, Marvel) and Mike Dowling (Marvel, Image, 2000ad).

The Death Sentence story is wild, dark, and blackly funny.  In the last arc Jeb tried to escape the mysterious Island but was eaten alive by cannibal sheep, while Verity's strange art powers led to her being hunted and imprisoned by the F.B.I. What will her captors discover in issue 6? Are they trapped with her or is she trapped with them? What secrets from Verity's past emerge by the strangely disturbing final page?

That's all for now! Hopefully I'll have some fun stories for you from Comic Con!
