The Abbs Man’s Abblog | I’ve never had anything important to say……….. Why would I need a blog?!

So I’ve been all over the place recently. Been figuring alot of stuff out and getting alot of stuff together. Recently my buddy Steve who sometimes writes for Comic Book Resources managed to hook me up with a job reporting for them at the 2010 Baltimore Comic-Con. He knew I was going down to visit [...]

In honor of my twenty-third year of being on this planet yesterday, July the 17th, I decided to incorporate my favorite color into Katrina and I’s breakfast. Now blue isn’t a color often seen during breakfast unless your eating some sugary kids’ cereal or a pop tart or something. You don’t [...]

So in honor of my beautiful face being featured in Avengers issue #2 I made my very own variant cover for New Avengers #1 that came out this past week! Every once in a while when they come out with blank sketch covers we’ll draw on comic bags so it looks like we have some [...]

That’s right if you look hard enough I made the cut and got dropped into this weeks new issue of The Avengers from Marvel Comics, Issue #2. Since they re-launched all the Avengers books after the whole Siege dealy-o they’ve had this “I Am An Avenger!” marketing campaign. If you submitted a photo at iamanavenger.com [...]

Most recently topping Christmas as the best holiday all year Free Comic Book Day or FCBD is happening tomorrow! So if you aren’t in the know you should head out to your nearest comic shop and pick up some goodies. Most stores also have awesome sales and events going on to coincide [...]

Finally managed to update the site and blog. Got up some new work along with a new sketchbook section. Added some new links on the links page and did an overall re-haul of the layout. While it’s not as awesome as what I had done previously before my lap top died it’ll do for now [...]

Hey all so another of these “wouldn’t it be cool if we did this…” scenarios popped up this past week. No I didn’t take another quick jaunt across the country with three tough broads, but what I did do was start a new blog with my buddy Che. We got hung up on the idea [...]

Recovering from a turkey induced coma I return to the blogosphere. Not that anyone reads this regularly anyways… The holidays have been uber busy between working at the comic shop, getting stuff together for Christmas (ie presents/shopping and travel arrangements), and being sick off and on I haven’t had much time to breathe, but here’s [...]

A while back my friend Che asked me if I could help him out with a project of his. He’s developed it into what he’s calling the Minimalist Comics Collective. It’s a different take on how words and images interact in the comics medium. There’s definitely a lot of interesting things going on here. I had a [...]

Hopefully by some time next week my new children’s book will be hitting shelves. I’ve got the order made up and I’ll be hand delivering it when I get time later in the week. It tells the store of a little beetle named Danny. I don’t wanna give too much away. You’re just gonna hafta [...]
