Scrooge and Santa - Comic Con Report (Josh)



I realize that it's a bit late in announcing this, but Comic Con went well!
From what we know, at least 17 books were sold on the main floor!
For being an unknown book, by two "unknowns", without prior promotion, we are very happy with how it sold. It was at times surreal, since Matt and I sat behind a big booth (Arcana Comics) and actually signed copies of our book. We have been attending Comic Con together for the past 7 years, so it was very poetic that our first comic would be created together and premiered at the Con. (Forgot to mention that we saw our printed comic for the first time at Comic Con.) Wow, just a couple of years ago I was presenting on a panel and this year I'm "working the Floor". It seems like every I go, I get more and more "involved".
Thank you to Matthew Wilson, who put much investment into this project and who was able to make it a reality!
Thank you to Sean O'Reilly (CEO and Owner of Arcana Comics) for being willing to have this story published!
To all the friends and comrades who sought us out and bought Scrooge and Santa, and to all the complete strangers who ran across this and chose to invest in a completely new book, we give a big heartfelt THANK YOU!
And last, but certainly not least, an enormous THANK YOU to my amazing wife, Katie. Without her willingness and patience to take care of our daughter and other needs, this project would not have happened. I love you Darling!

If you (or someone you know) would like to get a copy of Scrooge and Santa, you can soon place orders through Arcana Comics in October. We will be posting news and updates throughout the Fall. In the meantime please visit the Scrooge and Santa Facebook Page.

Josh's Update

Hi everyone, Josh here! Long-time-no-post!
Much has happened or is happening.
I got to draw my first coloring book! It was a fun little project for a surfing themed book designed to resemble a surfing sport magazine.There is also a small project that I worked on a while ago but I forgot to post about it. I got to storyboard my first infomercial! This was done within a 24 hour period, in that I got called by the advertising company one morning and they wanted the storyboards done around the same time the following day. The infomercial was for a device called a Jog’R, which is a strap that’s designed to help you jog-in-place.Currently, I am wrapping up work on my Plato project! I’ve been slowly working on this for about a year now, mainly because I was unable to touch it for an almost two semester period. It’s so nice to finally have time to sit down and focus on this without other jobs getting in the way. I’ll create a post explaining all about this personal project as soon as it’s done.
