Cowtown and Beyond...

Creephouse had an outstanding Saturday at the Cowtown Indie Comix Fest.

We sold quite a few copies of our Horror Comics Grandfather Bones and Spirits in the Well and made some great contacts. It was fun to see such talents as Stan Yan, Robert Elrod, Dan Crosier, Leila Del Duca and Angry Faerie's creator Scott Springer. We did a some teasing for our next big project "Never Send a Monster" and did one of my favorite thing which was to talk shop with other creators.

Coming down the pipe we have, of course, "Never Send a Monster" which will contain the three stories in the Monster trilogy which contains "Never Send a Monster", "Monsters Never Prosper" and "Never Make a Monster." Kevin Gentilcore and I both feel that this will be Creephouse's break out piece done in hardcover and in color. T shirts for this will be available in a few weeks and we're really excited about the whole project.

Also in progress is scripting and design work on The October Watch. Ohio artist Steven Fisher (of Crea8tive Differences) has been showing me some beautiful character sketches and bringing some great ideas to the table. We hope to do this as an annual graphic novel to be released in conjunction with Halloween.

Rumblings at Bluewater Comics still reveal to me that my story "Spirit Radio" is coming down the pipe in "Vincent Price Presents" Comics but I don't have a month or an issue number yet. It's a tale I've been waiting a long time to tell and i think it will have some appealing twists to it.

Kevin Gentilcore and I are also going to be releasing "Grandfather Bones" and "Spirits in the Well" compiled through Creator's Edge comics which is doing a lot of exciting stuff. Chuck Messinger has been pulling some truly innovative rabbits out of his hat and it's a great opportunity to be working with him.

Beyond that there is another project that I am in talks with the artist to be on board with his original concept that sounds like a chance to really work my character skills.

Sunday the 29th Dane Bernhardt, Genine Mix (of Mix101 in Denver) and I will be shooting the first video project for Nightmares Tickle Theater channel on Youtube. Quickly thereafter we hope to shoot the second video with Veteran Actor and Oscar winner Barron Christian in a chilling tale of supernatural visitation.


So as you can see I have a lot of things coming at you in the relative near future. I am thrilled to be working on every single one of them and we'll keep you posted as they are closer to release.
