DRunken Von Fuckery

So tonight, well, I guess this is morning now, you technical fuckers who have already gone to sleep and woken up again. For my night owl brethren, here you go...
SO there was actually much accomplished tonight, you know as in before I wrote this, I finished the massive painting job at my mom's house around 4 after I did my volunteer thing that started at, oh I don't know, like 945 in the morning. And that's after getting maybe 4 or 5 hours of sleep. So for two straight weeks at volunteering, WE MADE PUPPETS! How fucking cool is that? Puppets, two straight weeks in a row. There is nothing cooler. Then I painted. And that went really well. Only took about three hours to finish up the job.
After that, I watched the University of Arizona play UConn in the Elite 8. It was a back and forth game with my step dad going nuts for the entirety of the second half of action.
After that, I came home and showered. And went out to eat at, you guessed it, Roccos. And of course I got wings and some bread sticks. During the wait for my food, an ambulance showed up and treated and took a guy who passed out and banged his head. The wings, DELICIOUS. The sticks, AMAZING.
Then it was off to Safehouse, where I began to put into motion an idea for a pinup/print/cover I have had for a couple of days now. Talked with some friends and listened to a lot of jams on my ipod.
At 12 midnight I headed off to The Surly Wench for some music and booze. It was Fineline Revisited night at the Wench and there was plenty of tunage to be had. And as always, there was beer, liquor and pretty much anything else you could imagine. Right after getting my first drink, I saw a girl I saw the week before, who I had given my # to. This time around I made sure to get her phone number. No dancing for me, but there was plenty of drinking to be had. As well as communication with one of the owners that I would come back to take pictures for reference in my comic book. The city of Apex City, is based on two of my favorite places, Tucson and San Francisco. So I want my characters to have actual places to hang out in. The Surly Wench and Roccos are just two of them.
Then I came home, drank some more and kind of vegged out to whatever on Netflix while I perused the internet.
And now, I bid you "go fuck yourselves" and goodnight.

Phoenix Con AFTERMATH!




Ah yes, Phoenix ComiCon. Last weekend, Fuzzyface debuted at table T121 in Small Press. Thursday was a load in day and Preview Night. We were open for about 3 hours and had people stopping by to take a look. Actually the first two days including Preview Night were very slow. But towards the end of Friday, I lost my nervousness and began shouting at passers by with slogans like, "Fuzzyface is being called chocolate and peanut butter for your brain." On Sunday while people were waiting in line to see Stan Lee, I kept telling them how, "Fuzzyface is so good, Stan tried to steal the idea from me. I had to arm wrestle him to get it back!" Believe it or not, people stopped by and bought the book based, possibly solely, on the things I was shouting at them. One guy kept walking and was like, "Hey where are you going? Get back over here!"
Over all Fuzzyface was the absolutely clear front runner in sales. I was pretty much only pimping Fuzzyface during Con. And it paid off. We had a return customer from last year. Last time around this guy bought all the Youth in Asia books and a Chainsaw Agnew t-shirt. He walks up on Saturday, wearing the Agnew t-shirt, and says, "What do you have that's new?" He was so excited to see issue 5 of Youth in Asia and Fuzzyface. He began telling his friends all about last year when he bought a "Sketch Cover" variant to issue 4 and had me draw Grrry stomping on an Anime cosplayer.
During my rants and various shoutings at Con goers I had my booth buddies laughing. Practically falling out of their chairs. A few of them even chimed in and added their two cents on Fuzzyface.
Altogether Phoenix ComiCon was amazing and very fruitful.
Now here in Tucson you can pick up copies of Fuzzyface at the following locations (so far):

Fuzzyface launch date May 27 FAST APPROACHING!

in just 16 days on May 27 the preview night of Phoenix Cactus Comic Con, Fuzzyface will debut. The sample copy is floating around in John's backpack where I am keeping guard of it. The best way to guarantee you get your grubby little mitts on it is if you preorder the book NOW!.... It is going to be a limited edition, very low print run for the first printing. Cover on the book which features 54 glorious pages of story written and poetically scripted by Venus of Necro and directed to its gritty yet hilarious conclusion by John Chihak, plus 9 pinups by some very talented artists such as Ashler, who did the cover and first three pages of Youth in Asia #4, Erik "Phour Nyne Guy" Arreaga, Paul Fini and others is JUST $12. I know, all that for only $12. And we appreciate that the economy sucks for a lot of us right now. And all of our dollars need to stretch, especially our entertainment dollars. But we are pleased to pretty much guarantee you're gonna love this parody and tribute to both Jim Henson's Muppets and Tobe Hooper's Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
So, either make your way up to Phoenix Cactus Comic Con May 27-30 or preorder the book through either Charlies Comics or Safehouse E Bar.
