Hi everyone. Just wanted to give an update because a lot has been going on in my corner of the world.
I have new comics up in my STORE.
There are 2 different Comic Bundles that you can purchase at a discount (and I’m covering the shipping for orders during the next month).
1) Risograph Bundle
My friend Andrew Kowzlowski over at Paper City Publishing created these Risograph versions of The Aquabarian and Cryptids from the Damned Platoon.
2) Black & White Bundle
There’s also the 3 Black $ White Comix Bundle that comes with The Aquabarian, Cryptids from the Damned Platoon, and Collage Comix.
Two weekends ago I got the chance to table at Small Press Fest in Dania Beach (Fort Lauderdale area), Florida.
It was the first time I ever tabled outside of my city, Jacksonville, Florida. The experience was great all around. It was amazing to connect with people and share my work with a new audience. Highly recommend if you are trying tabling. Being a newbie, I didn’t have the best spot, but I totally made it work. My neighbors were super-chill and when we hit a lull, we chatted about process and future projects/endeavors. Also, just found out that I will get to table at the Orlando Zine Fest next month (December 14, 2024).
This last weekend I taught a comic zine workshop in my city.
I was able to partner with a local roastery, the super rad Solune Coffee. The workshop was small, but helpful to people wanting to make more zines and comics. There was a cool mix of young people and adults. It was a great time and I was able to practice and sharpen my teaching (comics and zines) skills.
Oh, yeah, I got a new dog. Her name is JuneBug she turned 1 on Halloween.
Between making and selling comics, tabling, and trying to do art workshops, life has been very full.
This is all on top of teaching private art lessons (I have over a dozen private students now, and hoping to grow more during the Spring) and participating in the SAW Yearlong Comics Program for the second time.
Thanks for your time,
Thony Aiuppy
