102 – That Mouthpiece Though

on May 26, 2017

You are not above this. Admit it.

Welcome back to Musicomic.com, the bi-annually updated webcomic about music!

…

So, I’ve been working hard and staying busy and not so great at sharing that business with you, my dear readers.

  1. I started (and finished!) some sketchbooks. Maybe you’ve seen some of my sketches on my instagram or tumblr? hint-hint
  2. I started (and finished issues 1-3!) work as a colorist on Scout Comics’ Smoketown, which is written by BAND! author, Phillip Kennedy Johnson, and drawn by D.C. saxophonist and artist, Scott Van Domelen. It’s a gritty series about gritty people doing gritty things and I’ve learned a LOT about coloring in the process. I took an excellent online art course by K. Michael Russell, watched all of his Youtube videos, and even took a private lesson with him for some feedback and advice. I basically learned everything I know about coloring from this guy. He’s also very kind and humble… wait… #2 was supposed to be about ME!
  3. I made a comic that my brother, Nate, wrote about the equestrian follies in The Witcher 3. Check it out in the EXTRAS tab above. Or just click that conveniently placed link. You could also give it a little upvote on Reddit if you’re cool.
  4. I’m working on a secret music related project with Nate that’s gonna be super awesome. Can’t wait to share it with you!
  5. I have another coloring project in the works that I can’t talk about. It’s also gonna be good!
  6. I have ANOTHER cool project with Phillip that I can’t talk about, but it’s gonna be great too!

That’s a lot.

Thanks for reading and sharing my comics.

I love you.

The Musicomic Store

on September 19, 2016

THE MUSICOMIC STORE HAS OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED!

I redesigned three classic (if I may…) Musicomics as 18×24″ posters that are perfect for home, office, and classroom. At $10 a piece (including tax & U.S. shipping) they are like… $0.03 per laugh, and really, who can put a price on laughter?

If you’ve been enjoying Musicomics (for free) over the past few years and want to contribute, please buy something from the store! OR share the store link with others! OR OR buy something from the store AND share the link with others!!! Wow, you’d be SO cool if you did that…

Okay, that’s more than enough out of me. Now head over and check out MusicomicStore.com!

Another update!

on September 9, 2016

Even though you didn’t get a new comic or even any relevant humorous music related content to speak of, this has been a BIG week for me and musicomic.com!

-The revamped musicomic store is almost complete! I worked super hard the nuts & bolts of the site, domain registration, blah blah blah CHECK OUT THE NEW LOGO:

I have to say, Shan looks thoroughly unimpressed by you. DAT FONT THO… it’s from <em>Spongebob</em>. Yeah, you knew you recognized it.

Seriously, setting up the site took a lot of time and effort, but I DID IT… because I love you like a fan.

-I also FINALLY decided on a printer and locked in some great rates for each of my designs. I like this shop and its employee(s) a lot. They are local and I think I can use them for most of my future printing needs… as long as this first huge order looks good ::nervous emoji::

-I submitted 3 poster designs and a business card for printing and they should be done sometime next week. SPOILER ALERT: ALL MUSICOMICSTORE.COM ORDERS COME WITH A FREE BUSINESS CARD! WOAH!!! I know… only I am excited about that… it’s okay.

-I submitted my first exhibitor’s contract to The Midwest Clinic, which is going down December 14th-16th. As long as they aren’t already full (fingers crossed) I should get a spot and be able to hang out for three full days representing my shop in person for the first time. THAT’S HUGE! (I refuse to link to a Donald Trump “huge” meme… but I wanted you to know that I saw the opportunity and turned my back on it. Props to me.)

-I discovered Tigran Hamasyan’s album, “Fables” (thank you, Josh!) Please, just start listening to it now…

-I invented a new as of yet unrevelead Musicomic character that I think has the potential to become really big. Like, Sonic the Hedgehog big. I haven’t really settled on a name for him yet, but let’s just say his name is definitely Chip.

SO ORIGINAL.

Update!

on September 6, 2016

It’s been some time since the last update, so I think we’re long overdue.

As you may or may not know, this has been a rough year for me to say the least. I’m sure I’ll share more about that sometime, but that’s not what today’s post is about.

Today, I just wanted to let you know that I am hard at work on a TON of stuff for musicomic.com. Besides the weekly comic updates, I am working on a MUSICOMIC BOOTH to take to music conventions! So far, I am planning on exhibiting at the Midwest Clinic this Decemeber (Chicago), the JEN Conference next January (New Orleans), and TMEA next February (San Antonio)!

This also means I am hard at work designing and printing my own merchandise to sell at said conventions. I’m primarily working on poster designs as well as flyers, business cards, and booth signage. It takes a LOT of time and work, but I’m excited to finally be doing it.

I don’t want to spoil the poster designs before they are officially available for purchase so instead, as a preview, check out my sweet new business cards;

I’ll see you later this week for some more comics.

Baltimore Comic-Con ’15

on September 28, 2015

Hey everybody!

I kind of can’t believe you’re still here. I mean, I’m GLAD you’re here, but I just can’t believe it. With so few updates, I’m lucky any of you are still checking out the comics and showing them to your friends. So, thank you. Seriously. (I get the strange feeling I’ve said something like this before…)

I will quickly say that I am going to try and get these comics put out on a more regular basis. (that, I’ve definitely said before) It’s really important to me and I’ve just allowed some other things to get in the way. I mean, I HAVE been busy on some other stuff, which I’ll share with you soon, but musicomics are a top priority for me and I’ve just drifted away from it and been a bit intimidated by the thought of starting back up.

I’m sure, as musicians, you can all relate.

I went to the Baltimore Comic-Con this year with Shannon and Phillip and it was a blast. I loved seeing all of the passionate fans and cosplayers, but most of all there were so many hard-working creators there baring their work for all to see. Walking through Artist-Alley is actually test of fortitude because there are literally hundreds of comics creators offering you their work on a platter, and you have to ignore/avoid/pretend not to hear many of them because there are only so many hours in a day…

Uncomfortable elevator pitches aside,  it was really inspiring and humbling to see the comics, books, and booths lovingly assembled by so many talented creators.

Shannon and I bought some Marinko Milosevski prints (Metal Gear Solid and Snake Eater, to be exact) and Phillip even treated us to some Mouseguard! (I later realized we picked the two most expensive books on the table after he offered to buy us each a comic… soooorry philliiiip)

Somehow, I missed Noelle Stevenson AND Kate Beaton at SPX last weekend… I wish I would have known. They are two of my biggest influences in comics. They are like big-time celebrities to me. ARGH! I need to go to more Cons! And more live concerts! And more jam sessions! And practice more saxophone! And practice more EWI! And work on arranging! And draw more comics!

…guess I’ll just keep playing The Phantom Pain instead.
