Order of Tales book release!

The Order of Tales one-volume books are here, the signing is this Friday at Bergen Street Comics in Brooklyn. You should come! Might do a talk and a question and answer thing?? I don’t know.

Bigger delay on the arrival of the books than anticipated, but the process of sending out Kickstarter incentive orders begins TODAY.

My storage unit is full of 2000 Order of Tales and 1200 Rice Boy books now:

Putting books together

Continuing my trend of wordless front covers for big Overside books. Will probably do that with the Vattu books too!

Almost there…

The Order of Tales Kickstarter is over 10,000! At this rate we’ll make goal pretty soon, and if it goes over that means less out of pocket for me. Thanks everybody for your support and helping me tell everybody about this thing.

Order of Tales Kickstarter

I started a Kickstarter project for the Order of Tales book a few days ago, and forgot to mention it here! It’s about halfway funded already, which is VERY EXCITING.

There will be 2,000 books and it will cost around 12,000 dollars. There’s an awkward video you can watch at the link for more details. Thanks so much for supporting the book and helping me spread the word! You are all the best.

This is the last one I am showing anybody until they’re all done I promise!

T-O-E on black

Have been working on some new portrait things (like these from a few months ago).

Order of Tales color cover

Possible cover for the Order of Tales one-volume book, without the text at bottom of course. I love the Rice Boy book having no text on the cover, so I think this would work too? I think this would be pretty striking on the front of a 6 by 9 inch, 800-page book. And its shape suggests the nib-icon on the front of Koark’s book, which I like.

I’ve been laying out the book for a while now. I can’t believe I drew 740 pages of this thing. I am still happy with it, but am coming across problems I have with it now. I have less and less of a problem with noticing that kind of thing, though, probably in part by seeing that people are still responding well to Rice Boy. It’s a story, but in a way anything we make is an expression of the particular time in our life and development, and that is not in itself a problem.

Order of Tales cover

Here’s the inks for the image that’ll be on the cover of the one-volume Order of Tales book. First time I’ve drawn Koark in months and months… and it’s fun to return to the shadowy, textural way I drew that comic. This will be colored. Don’t know when this book will be out, yet.

Here’s a thumbnail:
