Issue #20

What better way to ring in the New Year than with a new issue of Rock of Pages? Well, there are probably quite a few ways, but since you're already here, you should check out the latest chapter. And if you're feeling nostalgic, go here to re-read some past hits.

Before any rumors get started, let me go on record as saying I'm not currently dating anyone. The mostly-fictional-cartoon-girl in this issue is the same one that mostly-fictional-cartoon-Lee met in Issue #17. At this point in the series, my main goal is to complete a cohesive narrative, rather than go strict auto-bio. And with this issue in particular, I wanted to tell a legitimate love story without any cynicism or dick jokes. 

I also want to thank everyone for another great year of Rock of Pages. Connecting with people through my art really makes all the hard work worthwhile. The exciting conclusion of the Saga of Fred Lactus is up next, so I expect it to be several months before I'll have that online. Some great ways to keep up with any updates or convention appearances is to like me on facebook, or follow me on twitter. 

Thanks again you guys, and I'll see you in the future!



Cincinnati Comic Expo 2012

I'll be exhibiting at the Cincinnati Comic Expo next weekend, September 22 – 23. So if you happen to be in the area, I'd sure love for you to stop by! Check out the convention website here for more info on the show. 

I'll have a bunch of great merchandise available, including the special print-only 2012 Convention Exclusive. As always, I'll be joined by brother and awesome artist Nate Xopher, who will have some cool stuff as well. I hope to see you all there!



Through a Glass, Ugly

For those of you wondering what I've been up to, this may answer your question. The Saga of Fred Lactus Chapter 5 is now online! So check it out here, and be sure to read the story so far here if you need to get caught up.

I've spent a lot of time on this one and I hope you guys can dig it. Once I finish up Rock of Pages, I've got something planned that will allow me to update more regularly. For now, just bear with me. I may disappear for awhile again, but don't worry. This isn't the end.*

Gem City Comic Con 2012

Hello fans! Just taking a breather from the drawing board to let you all know that I'll be exhibiting at the Gem City Comic Con next weekend, March 31-April1. Check out the con website for more details on the show.

I've got a brand new Convention Exclusive Issue I'll be debuting, featuring a special print-only #0 issue of Rock of Pages, a back up story by guest cartoonist Matthew T. Krysiak, and a sketch gallery from yours truly (which also includes a sneak peak at the next chapter of Fred Lactus). As always, I'll be accompanied by amazing artist and brother Nate Xopher, who will have some great prints for sale. So if you happen to be in the Dayton area next weekend, I'd sure love to see some of you there!

In other news, I'm about halfway through the pencils on the next issue. Rock of Pages is very much still going on, it's just taking longer to get done these days. So it's more All Star Superman than All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder, if that analogy makes sense. I'm super excited about it though, and hopefully you'll agree it was worth the time to get it done right.
