The latest news on Yva, my creator owned project:

We officially debuted our ashcan at C4 (Central Canada Comic Con) in Winnipeg on the Halloween weekend! The first 6 pages of story from the upcoming issue one, plus two pinups, including one by Scott Wegener of Atomic Robo fame.

(For those of you who may have seen our original attempt with a different artist, that effort has been scrapped. So you either have a rarity, or something to line your bird cage with!)

Our new version features interior art by our cover artist Des Hanley, and I think I can say, without too much bias, that it's gorgeous!

If you'd like to check it out and support our efforts, you can buy a copy from Indy Planet, here:

http://www.indyplanet.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=2864

And look for us at Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle this March with issue #1!

Thanks all!

FB peeps: Are you friends with Yva yet? If not--

Send Yva Starling a friend request! You don't wanna make her cross, do you? Remember... she's got guns! faint wink

I was worried there for a bit... I sent a bunch of requests to friend her and it seemed nobody was joining. Then they were all accepted at once, LOL. lol Whoever maintains the Yva page musta cleared the backlog of friend requests. smile

Canada, Seattle- sounds like the alternative cons. Denver has a con to I should point out.


Just spouting off.

Well here I am, 2.5 years later, with an Yva update!

After several false starts by artists who couldn't follow through, I FINALLY have a full issue of Yva complete (and ideas for so many more!). Shopping it to a couple of publishers lead no where, so I'm going the web comic route!

You can read Yva for free here: http://www.rsquaredcomics.com/yva/1/?page=1 The first 6 story pages, along with a cover and synopsis are up now, with new pages going up every Monday and Friday.

I hope you'll check it out!

Absent, but not forgotten!

9 pages up now, and it's great, Rhonda! The artwork was certainly worth waiting for. That's a solid introduction to Yva and Grampus looks like it's going to be a fascinating adventure.

I wish I could fight like Yva....

Thanks guys, your support is very much appreciated!

We're also doing a Facebook promotion: when we get to 150 "likes", we'll randomly choose someone to win a Yva prize pack of prints, stickers, buttons, and whatever else we can come up with.

For those of you who may be interested, I have a work related Facebook page where I do a pretty decent job of making regular posts about Yva progress, what books I have in stores that week, etc., if you're curious about that sort of thing.

We also have contests sometimes and give away books or prints, and other goodies. When you're trying to go indie, it's all about traffic! So come on by and Like us if you're so inclined!

I think I need to change the name of this thread. I'm really not crazy about the word "pimpin'" and all it's connotations, though it certainly is... colorful! wink
