Angie is on Vacation

Hello my fellow nerds and nerdettes! Angie is on vacation with her folks which equals me being sad, Cristian misses his Angie. Hence you have me doing this week's post, which equals you guys being sad. The written word is not my medium but I will do my best.

Just finished another page. YEAH! I just finished it right now, not 2 minutes ago. I'll check on it tomorrow with fresh eyes to try and catch any mistakes I may have made, I'll also want Mario and Keith to check for inconsistencies or things I can change up. Hopefully we'll have a sit down soon and go over some stuff. As of right now we seem to be on track to have the first issue finished for APE. Still not sure if we're going to make it to HyperCon. We haven't signed up yet. Which is probably my fault. I was thinking about going and selling some fan art but I'm not sure I'll have any time to create any being that I work full time now. BUT, throw out some ideas on what you'd like to see and I'll see if I can get them done on time.

Alright folks, enjoy what's left of the rest of summer.

A Busy Summer!

Cristian finished another page yesterday, WooHoo! Haha
It's so cool o get to see this whole process happen right before my eyes, from ideas, to sketches, to a finished product. The whole thing is proving to be a very interesting, educational, and exciting experiance.

The summer has been moving along so fast, it's hard to believe that we're already halfway through July! Not only has the last Harry Potter movie come out(it was awesome), but the Captin America midnight premier is tomorrow, are you going? And to top it off, Comic-Con is this weekend in San Diego, I can't wait to see everyone's pictures and hear all about it, since unfortuantly we can't attend this year.

The real cool month for us this year though is going to be October, becasue as you all know we have a booth at APE here in San Francisco and will be debuting our comic there! We are so excited, and hope you all will be ble to come. But that's not all, because the new season of one of our favorite shows, The Walking Dead comes out that month as well!

Damn, we're gonna be busy!!
Till next time,

A Birthday and a Movie

Today is Mario's 32nd birthday everyone, so make sure to wish him well either here or on Facebook. He's had a busy and productive year staring up this comic book with Cristian, and before this year is out the 1st issue will be done.
We are going to go celebrate at Malibu Grand Prix tonight, as we already went drinking at the Dubliner on Sunday.
His nerdy gifts include 2 Star Wars shirts and a backpack shaped like a Ninja Turtle shell! If you need some nerd nerdy gift ideas for your friends and/or family I would suggest checking out a couple sites. Firstly thinkgeek.com, then teefury.com which has $10 t-shirts posted for just 24hrs everyday, and finally hottopic.com as they have a surprising amount of comic and classic TV show items.

The other important nerdy item of the week is of course that the last Harry Potter movie is finally coming out. We will be seeing it at Tanforan in San Bruno and yes, I will be dressing up(hopefully you all will too!). It's so strange to think of this series as finally coming to a close after all these years.
Thank goodness we have The Hobbit movies to look forward too, as Lord of the Rings beats Harry Potter anyway ;P

Enjoy this nerdiest of weeks friends, and maybe we'll see you at the movies!

Fundraising

We're still hard at work here, trying to get the comic out this fall and all that jazz. But something else has been on our minds lately too, and that thing is money.

Self-publishing a comic isn't cheap, even the black and white preview issues we did cost something, and now that we are anticipating printing out a full issue, we've been thinking a lot about ways to raise money for the comic. Cristian has sold a sculpture, and Mario might sell some of his sneakers.
Thankfully we have good friends that want to help and support us. The bartending ladies at The Dubliner Bar in West Portal here in San Francisco have offered to help us set up a fundraising event at the bar. Right now things are just in the idea stage, but make sure you keep checking back here at the blog for any news on our fundraising efforts. Hopefully we'll be able to set something up by the end of summer.

We hope everyone had a great 4th of July!
Have a great week everyone,
~Angelica P.R.
