Hey everybody! It's been a while since I've posted any news related content here, but I wanted to drop by and let you all know I'll be tabling in the Artists Alley (Table J-02) at RCCC this year! If you're around the Portland, Oregon area between September 7th - 9th, be sure to drop by and say hello! I'll mostly be promoting my webcomics there, but I'll have original art prints and other physical goodies for sale as well! I'd love to see you there!
I'll be tabling at Small Press Expo 2017 in Bethesda, Maryland this year! The event runs from September 16th (11AM - 7PM) to September 17th (12PM - 6PM), and I'll be at table W12 selling some brand new art prints, some limited softcover copies of This Is Jim, and other awesome goodies. If you're attending the event, I hope you drop by and say hello! :)
After going through some of the original TWC strips, and noticing how unpleasant they are to read/look at (I was still getting my sea-legs with how to draw this darn thing and my handwriting was atrocious), I've decided to do a restoration of the first 113 strips in this series!
Strips 1-21 will be completely redrawn in the proper resolution so it is easier to read, as well as being more consistent and on model with the way the rest of the comic looks. The handwritten font will also be removed and replaced with my custom typed font I started using in Strip 114 and onward. Strips 22-113 will still have the same art as before, but will have their handwritten font replaced with the typed font as well.
The reason behind this is that this project has become a staple in what I do on a regular basis as an artist, and I intend to make a bigger point of promoting it and showing it off to new people. I still intend to be working on this project for the next 2 years or more at least, so I owe it to myself to give it a facelift and make it as enjoyable to read as possible from beginning to end.

In other news, I will be exhibiting at the Small Press Expo in Bethesda, Maryland in September! This will be my first time at this convention, and I'm beyond excited to showcase The Whatever Chronicles, This Is Jim, and my other illustration based work! If you plan on being there, I'd love to see you!
Lots to prepare for, but I wouldn't have it any other way. See you guys next time!
