I’ve been hearing a lot of reports of folks getting covid at comic con, so I hope everyone who went and is reading this also dodged it and if they didn’t that they rest up. Also, thank you do the new people who signed up for this newsletter at the show!

If you are new here, here’s a run down of my stuff:

• Blue Moon is a werewolf romance gn I’m writing and Meredith McClarren is going to draw. I’m late on its script.
• The City Between is my webcomic about werewolves in the future. It updates Wednesdays. The current story is called Shards of Reflection. I’m scripting the next one which is called Glass Diamonds. 
• You are the Chosen One is a fantasy comic about 23 kids who got the same prophecy dream. It was posting on Fridays on my Patreon. But my editorial work has been piling up/overwhelming me lately. So it’s on hold until I finish up some other stuff.

My day job is an editor at the manga company Seven Seas and the indie comic publisher Iron Circus Comics. I like folklore, fantasy, and especially like werewolves.

This month Iron Circus will be crowdfund an anthology I edited called Perfect Crime Party! It’s goofy light hearted stories about crime! Jeff Smith did the cover. Usually, I’d link you to a preview page but we don’t have that live yet. So just follow Iron Circus on backerkit to get notified about the book. Tonally, we told creators to aim for something like the Clue movie. 

For the new here, I host a werewolf movie every full moon in my fan discord. This month we will be watch The Beast Must Die! an old 70’s movie. We will be watching is August 19th at 4pm PST. Click here if you wanna join!

And I’m traveling the first half of this month, so I can’t stream on twitch until the 18th. But after that I’ll be back on my usual schedule.  

• Tuesday 8pm-10pm PST – Art times
• Wednesday 8pm-10pm PST – Art times
• Thursday 6pm-8pm PST (during the Iron Circus Geekshow)
• Sunday 8pm-11pm PST – Playing Baldur’s Gate 3

Please stop by!

The last anthology I edited for Iron Circus hit stores! So if you missed Failure to Launches crowdfund, you can now get it at a store near you. You can’t get it from the Iron Circus store yet, because they don’t add books to stores until crowdfunds are fullfilled. But I’ve been told it is a big hit with bored dads. 😛 (Basically dads that usually just dick around on their phone while their family members shop have been picking up, flipping through, and then buying the book. The picture below is the dad table as a shop)

The big thing I did last month was obviously going to comic con! I have some more traveling to do now that I’m back so I didn’t do a whole lot at the show other than sell stuff. But I did take lots of pictures of cosplayers (most of which were from Baldur’s Gate 3). Here’s some of my favorites!
You can see the rest here.

We got Bahl’s chosen!

Laezel with some rad armor!

Sexy Elder Brain, a Tav, and a Alfina

Regina George with a backbrace

Rocky from Lackadaisy

Halsin with a duck!

Mario Cart crew!

I forget what these ninja guys from Zelda are called. But they looked great. 

Slutty Gambit

And the Delicious in Dungeon crew. 

Also Paramont forgot to send artwork or didn’t have artwork ready for the SDCC badges. So everyone’s badge just had the Paramount logo on them. Very professional. 😛

This month I’m mostly gonna be working on finishing up Shards of Reflection. but first I’m going to Scotland! I’m going to Worldcon/visiting my good friend Kate Ashwin. I’m gonna try to do some writing while there (or at least on the very long flight). 

While working this month I mostly stuck to watching stuff on Nebula since a lot of the youtubers I like are on there making extra things. I rather enjoyed Jessie Gender’s Intentiteaze short film. It’s doing a good streamlining the story to build the metaphor it’s making about strictly enforcing the gender binary. I did wish it would have dug a bit deeper into that metaphor, but in her commentary Jessie Gender mentioned trying to get Nebula to fund it as a series. So fingers crossed I get that deeper dive. 

I also watched a 3 hour video about Drake vs Kendrick. I knew basically nothing about them but it really pulled me in. FD Signifier does a great job of laying the groundwork what was going on in hiphop that all culminated in Drake rising in popularity and how Kendrick countered it. 

Also, one of the first titles I was assigned at Seven Seas, My Deer Friend Nokotan has gotten an anime. The mange is super weird in a good way and has a real dada sense of humor. The anime continued that trend. Check it out if you want something super off the wall. The stuff in that trailer does not make more sense in context. 

That is for this month. Thanks everyone for your support! And if you got a few extra bucks, consider backing my patreon. 

Next City Between features a scene where Connor and Rebecca spar. So I wanted to plan out what scars Connor has that the reader hasn’t seen. I don’t think I’m completely satisfied with them currently. Might takes another crack at it.
