| Wolverine: Look Sharp Contest Update |

http://www.tencentticker.com/projectrooftop/2009/07/10/wolverine-look-sharp-contest-update/ Hi there, P:R fans! Thanks for all your recent comments about how awesome we are…and how much you’d like us to hurry up and post the Wolverine: Look Sharp winners. We appreciate your support and impatience. Well, the first one anyway. Running massive public contests like these takes a good bit of time and hard work, as I’m sure you can imagine.
This week, however, we completed the final judging on the Look Sharp entries, including reviews and ratings from our usual P:R Staff, as well as from Wolverine: Weapon X creators, Jason Aaron and Ron Garney (both of whom, by the way, included a few extra prizes for our winners)!
We will have the final results posted here next week, but thought you might enjoy these two ineligible entries from P:R regular Maris Wicks, who just missed the deadline, and our own Jon Morris, who just can’t win anything since joining the crew here. See you next week! - Dean Trippe

| Glister books |
[Jul. 10th, 2009|09:05 pm] |
This is the first week of the Glister books being available. Haven't
checked out the local bookshops as the school holidays are looming and
I'm scrambling to get Glister: The Family Tree done. I think Borders
are doing the most to market kids comics in their stores, hope I'll get
to take a look during the hols.
new stuff here:

| Hi journal... |
[Jul. 10th, 2009|02:17 pm] |
Hey there, I received an email informing me that I'd been away way too long. Tremendously long. I've gotten other messages that mentioned I've been away from the internet, email and all of that too. It's not entirely true. I kind of work "for" the internet, but that's work and I try not to take it home. There's also my Facebook bot that is uselessly updated by my twitter assistant.
Anyway, I should be at work today, but I've been forced to stay home all week by the flu. It also kept me out of the studio for the three day Fourth of July weekend. Was so looking forward to that. I managed to get in one good day on Friday, but after a movie outing on Saturday I've been spending my time between the bed and the couch.
In happier times I was plodding my way towards the eventual end of Punish the Dead. I'm not sure what to do with it once it's done. Put it in some sort of printed form and sell it like day-old-bread I guess.
In my down time I've been thinking about stripping down my website once again. A few pictures, a list of available books, and some vague personal info about what I used to think of myself.
I'm also feeling nostalgic for the road. I haven't left the South for a comic show in a good long while. To coincide with (and giving my self ample time to actually accomplish it) printing up some copies of Punish the Dead, I'm thinking of a tour of sorts. It's all tentative of course, but here's what I'm thinking.
March 2010 - STAPLE! : Austin, TX
March 2010 - Angtigravity NOLA Expo : New Orleans, LA
April 2010 - Stumptown : Portland, OR
*There's a TCAF lined up for May 2010, I'll see if I can beg an invite*
May 2010 - MeCAF : Portland, ME
Oct 2010 - APE : San Francisco, CA
*no SPX or MoCCA plans, I could probably do four shows for the price of one of them*
I've been lapse as always about checking in on just what exactly everyone else has going on. It's a full time job keeping up with you prolific peoples. Hope you're having fun and such. Maybe I'll get a chance to catch up at a show or something.
Guess that's it. Hope it won't be months before I pop in again, but if I know myself it'll probably be longer. |

A quick late night doodle of a crazy cyborg guy.
I'm still taking pre-orders for the new prints! Anyone that orders before July 15th gets free shipping! I'm really hoping a few more people will take advantage of this, it'll help me cover printing costs. Spread the word!
I recently sold out of copies of both Pearly Whites and Are You Man Enough, but if you live in NYC all of my mini comics (including Pearly Whites and Are You Man Enough) should now available at Jim Hanley's Universe, Forbidden Planet, Bergen Street Comics, and at Cosmic Monkey for those of you in Portland. I'll be reprinting both Pearly Whites and Are You Man Enough very soon, so they'll be available directly from me again as well within the next week or so. |

| Icebergs and Keyholes |

I was still thinking about bodies and houses and things. So: body as landscape, face as iceberg. And I like the idea of a body with a keyhole. Also, the image of someone raising their shirt or opening their shirt to show something is quite intriguing to me.

| TWIN CITIES ZINEFEST |
[Jul. 10th, 2009|12:51 am] |
If any of you live anywhere near the "Twin Cities", you should come by Zinefest this weekend! I'll be there with ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) qlady selling zines, including my brand new, hot-off-the-presses minicomic "Memory Foam".
It's a collection of a bunch of my autobiographical comics from the last year, including one I just made that is not online. It's a nine page story continuing my adventures in the world of unemployment. It looks like this when I lay it out on my couch:
Yep. The whole affair is about 27 pages. Hope to see you there.

| sold another cartoon, Amanda Palmer |

The New Yorker just bought another cartoon.
Here is one of the rejects;
New Too Much Coffee Man cartoons up on my website.
Yes. The one woman really was wearing antlers.
Just saw Amanda Palmer at the park. I brought a cd (cds are becoming the new LPs (ie. they're from a bygone era (there's a joke in there somewhere))) for her to sign but she was surrounded by bunches of goth type people. She was reading stories Neil wrote for her. It was sort of cool but it was also a little much for me to deal with.
I just got back from my highschool reunion. About 10 people came up to me with ideas for New Yorker comics. A friend of mine said "there's not enough alcohol here to make these people interesting." |
