October updates

October is my favorite month of the year and mostly because of Halloween. That's a good thing because I'll be at the ELGIN MONSTER MASH UP on the 26th and 27th. Not only will there be Indie and b-list horror movies but there will be a Zombie lounge, live bands and a burlesque show. Fun for the whole creepy family. I'll be in the vendor area selling my sketch cards, and turning people into zombies. This show I'll have some new monster prints and bottlecap magnets for you to check out. So if your in the area come by and bring me a cocktail. In other news the new revamped web page will be going down (or is that going up?) soon. I have a wonderful designer but she, like me, has an awful lot on her plate. So stay tuned here and check out my Testie (Etsy) page for new stuff to buy so my kids can have shoes for winter. This months sketches are Halloween based of course, Angry Pumpkin and the two prints that I'll have at the show next week.

September Updates!

Falling behind on my posts... September has got me heading out to Bethesda, Maryland to the 2012 Small Press Expo (SPX). I missed last year so I'll have some new (to SPX peeps) comics & art to show. It's always been a great time going out there, the quality & creativity of the books & art really makes me want to run home, lock myself in my basement and draw for weeks. So if you are in the area on the weekend of 15th, drop on by and say hey. I am at table * G6A * That's geeee-sixxxxx-eaaaaaaa. October has me in a Halloween mood so I'll be at the Elgin Monster Mash-up the weekend before Samhain. More on that next month. Check my links for info on stuff I like. I've been working on some comic stuff that is kinda' top secret in the sense I'm not done with it. But I'm also chugging away on new sketch cards and I managed to make my own SPX promo pic for various social networks. Later....

August updates!

It's a sure thing that summer is almost over because WIZARD WORLD CHICAGO is here. Sorry to say that after 7 years as a comic creator (something like 15+ years as a common geek) I will not be going to the show this year. I'll be back next year and all will be right with the universe, besides I've still got a couple of shows left for this year. So if you go be sure to stop by Cheeselord Comics as well as my neighbor from C2E2 Chris from Urbnpop.com. I got my hotel and plane tix for the SPX 2012 show in September so I'll be working on stuff for that next. This month more sketch cards featuring a cool devil and a dead hippy...Don't forget to check out ok-panic.net every two weeks to see what mayhem we've got cooking for you. later,

Vacation Pics?

Bath House? Abandon outdoor theater? Me acting like a Diety with my Deer Minions? All part of a good afternoon.

July Updates & Vacation Pics!

Summer is here and it's a dry wasteland as far as upcoming events. This gives me a chance to start some new projects and continue sketch cards for the upcoming fall season. I'm sorry to say that the CAKE show was a bit of a bust despite the high turnout. Good show but not a good match I'm afraid. Win some lose some eh? (I'm gonna' start using "eh?" a lot more.) Sometimes I need to share more than just updates on conventions and new art. I'm a person too and I want to show my "softer" side. This month in addition to some new sketch cards, custom painted bean bag games (watch for more of these this fall!) I'm sharing vacation photos from the scariest place on earth: Deer Forest in Coloma, Michigan. Welcome to Fairytale land, those dead eyes still haunt me. later, -kurt

June Updates-Summit City, Etsy &CAKE!

Last month I set up my table of fun at the Summit City Con in beautiful downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana. This was my second time and it was indeed a great show. I would have loved to gotten there a little earlier so I could enjoy a Tin Cups baseball game & a cocktail, but maybe next year. Zack Kruse really sets up a great show. Nice venue, great town, good people & staff and the most comfortable chairs I have ever had at a comic convention. KUDOS, and I hope to be there next year! Sorry no pics, I left my camera in the car and I was pretty busy I didn't want to duck out. Next up for me is the new C.A.K.E. show on the 16th & 17th of June. It looks as though I might only be there on the 16th so come by early! I may have special guests sitting at my table keeping me company, so special I cannot even comment in print,(no it's not my Mom.) so again come by and support the new indie con in town. This will be my last Chicago appearance (short of me appearing at a Jewels or Domicnic's grocery store) until NOVEMBER! Sorry no Wizard World this year. I have opened up an Etsy store online because Amazon is just too expensive for little ol' me and my tiny book. I'll put up the link on the side. Check it out for all your art and book needs! Lastly I hope to have a re-vamped website soon, the problem is that I have to finish up some illustrations for it. This month are some concepts for future monster cards and art for the web page. Later,

MAY UPDATES

In one week I will be at the Summit City Con in beautiful downtown Fort Wayne Indiana. It's my second time showing and it should be a good time. I'll be doing sketch cards and turning people into the undead upon request. Along with my usual stack o' stuff I have new stuff! I just received a package from my pal (and fellow ok-panic artist) Jason Young over at Buyer Beware comics. In said package is the newest "Veggie Dog Saturn Special" where I illustrated a story for Jason about his eating habits in Jr. High. No, I'm not joking. Check out my links or just come by the show to get yer hands on his comics.

It also looks like I will be at the CAKE show in June. C.A.K.E. (Chicago Alternative Comics Expo) is a new show right in the heart of downtown Chicago at Columbia College. It seems that space was very limited and I am glad to get in. For more info visit:www.cakechicago.com I'm re-doing my web site VERY soon so I am busy adding new art and getting together stuff for new galleries. Last but not least it looks like I have stared maybe the stupidest year long project I could come up with: THE BLOB PROJECT 2012. This will be a year long study of the formless mass of Horror film fun & how I can draw him to look cool. Stay tuned! Until then, come by the Summit City show and say hello. Later,
