Apocalypse... Eventually

06 February 2010 By dale 1

Well, what a week that was!

One of the projects I’ve been working on for a while now, has gone live... and it’s getting a great reception.

Luci Phurr’s Imps is now up and available and has been running for a few weeks.  The numbers, I understand, are great, with an average readership of around 1500 visitors per day.  Not bad for a site and strip that’s only been going for less than a month.

“What’s it about?” you ask.

Luci Phurr is your typical eight-year-old little girl.  She wants everything pink and frilly, a puppy and a new tea set for her favorite dolly.  What she’s getting, due to a series of mishaps, are three Imps, sent to make her evil overlord of the world and bring about the end of days.

Of course, that might have been the plan; but the plan wasn’t supposed to include a little girl who REALLY wants a pony!

With a fresh installment every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, it’s devilishly good fun.  Go check it out.

And swing by next week for more info on other projects I have coming out in the print world.

LUCI PHURR’S IMPS GOES LIVE!

OK, this is one of those cool moments where I can finally talk about something I’ve been working on.

This feels like it’s been a long time coming... and in a way it has; this project has been on the back-burner for a couple of years, and we’ve been working actively on it now for a few months.

Here’s what it’s about:

MOUNTAINS AND BOOKS

(AS OPPOSED TO MOUNTAINS OF BOOKS - WHICH DESCRIBES MY OFFICE)

Well, with the passing of Labor Day here in the US we’re heading into Fall (Autumn to my civilized friends).  Here in North Carolina heading up to the mountains in the West of the State is a great way to see some stunning landscape daubed in an amazing spectrum of colors; ranging from the defiant greens of the evergreens, through to the burnished reds, browns, oranges and yellows as the seasonal foliage turns.  It’s the kind of view that goes beyond something you just see and settles in your soul.

For the second year running I have the opportunity to visit this vista and indulge my other love, books.  I’ll be a guest of the Carolina Mountains Literary Festival in Burnsville this weekend on the 10th & 11th September.

CONVENTION TIME

Well, while I still can’t talk much about the projects, I can point you to a new website for the Webosaurs (link: http://beta.webosaurs.com/ ) and tell you that I’ve done a little writing on a comic book/user guide and am working on the second issue of the comic that’s more story and tons of fun.

I’ll be hitting the International Comic Convention (link: http://www.comic-con.org/cci/ ) in San Diego between 22nd and 26th of July. Mostly I’ll be hanging out around the Viper Comics (link: http://www.vipercomics.com/ ) Booth, which is #1903.

Third Draft

10 May 2009 By admin 0

Well, here we are with the third draft of my website.  There’s a very tiny possibility that this could be a short lived version as a fourth incarnation is planned, but still on the drawing board.

It’s been observed (repeatedly by a couple of regular visitors - you know who you are) that the site doesn’t get updates very often, and what’s the deal with the interweb’s least exciting blog?

Here’s the problem.  I’m working on a bunch of projects that are in development but I either can’t, or won’t talk about them.  In several cases, I simply not allowed - under pain of pain... and probably getting kicked off the project.  Then there are projects that I won’t talk about because I know enough to know that until a project has happened, it might not happen.

But I can tease.

So here are a few the projects that I’ve been working on, in very vague terms.
