Because How Often Do I Get To Sign My Name in Silver Ink?

Saturday is the third and final Bobble FIsh giveaway at the Lake County Captains game. I'll be there, signing pen in hand, to autograph the Willy Walleye version of the giveaway. I had a great time at the first one I did. (I was in San Diego for the second and not able to attend.) I'm looking forward to doing it again.

Love and Capes #8 in Previews NOW!

Hey, Love and Capes #8 is in the Previews catalog right now! It's order code AUG08 4209. Buy as many as you'd like. I'll make more.

Number eight this month…the trade next month…it's a flurry of Love and Capesishness.

Wheelin' and Dealin'

I just signed off on the proofs for Powerful Women #2, so it's time for some pre-San Diego specials!

Until July 20th (the day I leave for California) you can get the second sketchbook for $10.00 plus shipping. That's $5.00 off cover price. And, if you order both of them, you can save $10.00 and get the 2-pack for $20.00 plus shipping.

The newbook features Scarlett from G.I. Joe, Princess Leia, She Hulk, Jade, Halo, Poison Ivy, Princess Aura, and many, many more. Click here to be taken to the commission page, where you can order the sketchbooks. They'll ship out from San Diego after the show.

Storin' and Growin'

For those of you who missed it, Love and Capes #7 (both the retail and FCBD versions) are available for sale in the Love and Capes store. Be fruitful and purchasify!

Fish Tales

I got to see the Bobble Fish in person today.

I went up to Classic Park, where the offices of the Lake County Captains are, and got to see the one sample of each of the fishies. The rest are in transit, so I wasn't able to get any for me.

That's my artwork on the boxes, too. Jonathan at the Captains did a good job with it. And my logo and website are on the bottom of every box, so that is sah-weet. I am so looking forward to seeing these at the big signing on June 28th. You can get tickets here.

Super Secret Project Revealed

I've mentioned a Super Secret Project here once or twice. Actually, I think I use it to describe a lot of things. But now I can reveal what the latest SSP is...

Toon Tumblers DC Glasses.

That's right, Toon Tumblers, one of my favorite pieces of comic book merchandise and the good china here at Casa de Zahler, will now be making DC glasses. I dig the Marvel ones to be sure, but I've always been more of a DC guy. It's going to be cool to get some of my favorite characters on glass.

Now, I can't reveal the first image or where it will appear, or characters in the planned lines. That I'll save for Toon Tumblers to reveal, but once they do I'll post it here. If you wanted to guess that I've lobbied for a certain Nuclear Man to make his appearance early in the line, though, you wouldn't be wrong.

The Bobble Fish was a Tremendously Useful Creation

Here's the first photo I've seen of the first bobble fish I designed for the Lake County Captains. It's Buster Bluegill. I'll be at that game, June 28th, signing statues for anyone who would like. I haven't done too much three-dimensional stuff, and I was a lousy sculpture student, so it's cool to see something I've drawn in three dimensions.

Well, a two dimensional-photo of said three-dimensional item, at least. I'll let you know when I actually get my mitts on one.

My Dulcet Tones, Yet Again

I had the pleasure of doing an interview with JJ from Fist Full of Comics and Games. You can check it out here. Hopefully I don't sound like too much of a dolt.
