Official Trailer!

So, with a little bit of hard work, a touch of swearing, a tiny aspect of luck, and a whole butt-load of ingenuity, I have managed to get The Official Trailer to The Young Offenders up at youtube.

And here it is.



The music you hear is "Tokyo Drifter" by Chris Public. He's better known (to some) as Lo-Ki from BTK, the fresh young Canadian Hip-Hop group from late 90's Toronto.

I'm a huge fan of Chris Public. The band BTK has been a huge inspiration on me, my writing, my lifestyle, my marijuana consumption, my comics, and like, my soul, since I first heard the Peppyrock single, during my last days of High School.

As much as it is an honor and privilege to get to create my own comic with Peter Severinson, that I get to combine the whole works with one of the most incredible musical artists I've ever heard, just makes it all the sweeter. I can't thank these guys enough. Hell, I don't even know if I thanked them at all.

Anyway, enjoy the tunes and the foreshadowing. I'm sure, if you're reading this, then you've already read most of the story, but that ain't the point. The point, I think, is to create something that's to be enjoyed.

Blogging Straight Outta East Van!

I've run a few blogs over the years – too many, probably.

One of my latest blog projects (blojects) has been at comics2film.com, where I've kept a running series of articles on all sorts of random nonsense. Lately though I've been finding that my ambivalence towards comic-to-movie transitions has been showing, making me look like the bored hooker at the party.

This ain't that though, and here ain't there.

So, don't expect to see a lot of comic-movie news here, or reviews. I hate writing reviews. I love writing comics, and I love writing about comics, and I'm pretty sure that's what this blog is going to end up being about.

Why another blog? Why now? Well, I'm just trying to find new, better ways of communicating with my (potential) audience. I don't just want to write comics for myself – I want to write comics that I enjoy, but I also want to be able to share them with a larger group of people.

I've really been bouncing around the net these days, looking at the different sites for promoting web comics. Drunkduck, comicspace, comicsomethingelse, comicfuckingshit.

Some of them are pretty cool, like DrunkDuck keeps bringing me back, but a lot of the ones I've been too are pretty bizarely laid out. As well, I have a hard time seeing how some of them are going to actually generate new readers for the book. Admitedly, at several sites I've already seen a few dozen hits come in, but... They're so many thousands (millions?) of comics on-line. How do reach the people who might actually want to read yours?

Well, anyway, those are some of the thoughts that pushing this blog forward. How can the reader help me get from reader 1 to reader 10 to reader 10,000?

Anyway. Woo. Blogness!

Your super-awesome pal,
