It's Wednesday! Which means all across the nation, in spite of a piss-poor economy, some fanboy/fangirl is parting with their depreciating US dollar. This is all in the service of being entertained for 22 pages at $2.99 a comic. Heck yes, it's new comic day! At home and abroad.
So, seeing how we are noobs and can't push a book out every 30 Wednesdays, I figured in the interest of the public (or, y'know, the 90-something people who actually purchased Bamn #1), I'd start updating www.bamncan.com on Wodan's day.
Just don't hold me to it.
Just don't hold me to it.
And…here…we…GO:
- Issue #2 is manifesting! (See how I dodged saying anything definite like "complete?") Jay is beginning to Bristol Board from HIS 22 page layouts are from MY issue #2 summary. Meanwhile, I'm thrusting words into the character's mouths hoping something will stick (Hm, sounds like politics).
We attempted this quasi-Marvel Methodology previously, with mixed results. It's seems comfortable for all and I'm not ready to abandon it until it blows up in my face. The reality of this method is that because of work, it's easier for me to write a summary and let Jay draw while I dialogue on the other side of the DMV. I don't have to write full scene descriptions or character placements, which can be time-consuming, just locations and dialogue. We agree on a 22 page count and, thus far, I dictate what the final image is. (Surprisingly, Jay hasn't given me too much $#!+ about that.) Simultaneously, he'll show me his layouts and I'll run back to my pre-determined dialogue and try to re-fit it in a not awkward way. The key word being "try." Like I said, we got mixed results from this in Issue #1.
I'm already more than certain that I will not do this for anyone else but Jay.
- We've mapped out our convention schedule for 2009. It's an ambitious list that will see us, probably, spending more money than receiving. But, y'know, I have a 2 day jobs to make money. BAMN is a personal goal that was longer overdue. Getting her out there is more important. The below list is what we are shooting for, but some of these Cons have a ginormous waiting list or their table reservations aren't ready. We will update as we go…
Here is the list w/ dates (Follow The Link):
-We made the front page of the Comixpress' website! It may be gone before the end of the week, but it's still kinda neat. Follow the Link!
-Speaking of Comixpress, Bamn #1 will be getting a 2nd printing that sports the, much loved, Molly Hammer cover (pictured above). In addition, the 2nd print will also feature almost entirely, quite possibly...NO TYPOS (probably)! Just don't hold us to that, either.
-Bamn is also, very happy to say we have joined the DC Conspiracy comic community! What is the DC Conspiracy? Here it is straight from the website:
"The DC Conspiracy is a group of comic creators, writers, artists, editors, and assorted hangers-on based in the Washington, DC region. Through semi-regular meetings and group projects, we're sharing ideas, swapping stories, comparing influences, and helping each other out."
While this may mean poop to you, this an excellent, informative networking tool for Bamn. It's so beneficial that within the first day of us signing up we had an opportunity to get our artwork in a local area magazine. Hopefully something comes out of it.
Now, enough funny business! http://www.rockthevote.com/
