Long Bio for May 2011
I write things, like this comic here and my continuing free e-fiction hosted on this blog, called Placebo posted weekly.
I paint creatures which you can buy on my etsy site. I also take commisions on paintings.
I do a little webcomic called Peas which I have put out every friday for over three years now. My latest project is with artist Jessica White. It’s a webcomic called Daytime Ghost Hunter. I’m very proud of it so far.
In July 2007 I founded con-news.com, which has grown into the leading daily convention news site in the world. It averages over 10,000 unique readers of whom visit 100,00 times per month. I naturally also attend a lot of conventions, sometimes as an artist, sometimes as a fan. You can see my upcoming appearances here.
I’m under the name luckycreature on Twitter, Facebook, Formspring, Xbox Live, and PSN. Please join me on your social platform of choice.
I love college football, media scifi, and pop culture. I collect Minimates. I don’t like the word bored.
I live in Asheville, NC with my beautiful wife Jessica White and two cats.
Before all this I have put out records, posters, and other items by other artists. You can see the list of those and anything I contribute to here .
I plan on continuing all of this for a long time, hope you’ll join me.
My email is luckycreaturelabel@gmail.com
I’m open to all invites, collaborations, commisions, and really anything that involves you and me.
Daytime Ghost Hunter p2,
Jess flew through the second page this weekend, so excited to bring you page 2 of Daytime Ghost Hunter. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Placebo Part 27
“What is this Sparrow?”
I pull back, a little unprepared by his reaction.
“Just thanking you I guess.” Somehow he makes me feel open, like my armor isn’t up. “But its cool if your not into it.” I want to look away, think about telling him I need to get ready for the show, but he grabs my hands.
“No, I’m into it. Just, I don’t know…” And then he kisses me. It feels, I’m not sure, right? I don’t hesitate as I kiss him back. My life is a rolling confusion, but this, this can do no harm. I surrender to it, let it wash over me, and spend a few minutes just living.
When the knock comes from the door, I’m both disturbed and excited for the future.
“Mrs. Sprite, your own in a few,” yells the bar owner.
Guess its time for my last show.
I start to get dressed and running over these past few minutes in my head. And I know what is coming now. It scares me a little and I light a cigarette to calm my nerves.
“Want to watch from the side?”
It’s all I can give him, Jackson, this man who just happened to rescue me from the terrible decision I chose a few nights earlier. It’s all I can give him, and I dare not think what could have been if I met this man before Tommy Lee. It’s the kind of questions one never asks.
It’s showtime.
Lucky Creature around the web
His World/Her World # 9 got a review at Oh MY Clumsy Heart here. The same article can be found at The Syndicated Zine Reviews site.
Super excited to have my Hello Kitty and Godzilla paintings appear in the super awesome Kaiju comic Neo Monster Island on this page. Creator Sean McGuinness and his wife Shirley have been awesome supporters of my work, and I would love it if some of you would show them the same.
Send me your luckycreature links at luckycreaturelabel@gmail.com, I’d love to send some viewers your way.
Columbia
Had a good time at the Columbia Anime Con this weekend. Here’s the creatures I made,
Creature Vertigo. Final creature painting I made this weekend, will go on etsy soonish. It was time for the spiky hairs to return.
Saw five or six kids with this Naruto costume on, so why not. Etsy soon.
Did this Owlet for the artists next to us all weekend. It’s from their comic Super Zero High, their website is Mourning Daily if you want to check em out.
Mickey Mouse. In a suit.
Wood Man from Mega Man. Classic 8-bit wonder.
Gir & Zim. SOLD at the show. Thinking about doing a large Gir painting? Thoughts?
Had a great time in Columbia saturday night. Went to Heroes & Dragons comic store which is awesome. Got some needed Minimates, and then had the best Vietnamese Pork and Shrimp at Pho Viet in Columbia, SC.
I’ve been to Columbia twice in as many months, can’t wait to return again.
