Also, I will once again have a table at this year's Celebration of the Arts in New Paltz (or "COTA" for all you hepcats). This year it will be held October 10th down on Huguenot Street. I'll post more info when I have some. Hope to see you around!

MoccaFest, streamo, and a new hub.

Hello all,
I am happy to say that MoccaFest was a terrific experience. This being my first event of this type (on the other side of the table) I didn't totally know what to expect, but it was great. I was able to meet some people and sell some things and just generally get my work out there a little. I also drew my first convention sketch for someone (a little girl, who told me my sketch was amazing... big smile). Thank you to Allison, Collin, Brian, Sophia and Jean for making the table experience fun and successful. I hope we all can do this again sometime and somewhere.
So, as people were taking my business card from MoccaFest I realized that they may be actually going to 25footclown.com, and that I should actually kinda make a page for them to see. So I kinda did. Previously the address took you to this very blog, but now it takes you to a page that is essentially a collection of links to the places my stuff resides all over the internet... or a "hub" if you will. I just like the word hub.
And finally, a couple days ago my first streamo collection arrived from the printer! I am excited, it turned out well. It contains over 300 streamo comics, every one ever created through 2008. I have a limited supply that I'll be selling in person at events or wherever, and soon it will be available for sale online as well. I'll keep everyone informed as to the specifics soon. Have a good one, I'm off to bed.

Your pal,
Chris

MoccaFest 2009!



Hello there!
MoccaFest is this weekend, and I'll be exhibiting! This is my first time having a table at a comic convention, so I'm pretty jazzed. I'll have my usual stuff like buttons, stickers, prints and what not.... but if the gods be willing I'll have some comics to sell too (and snazzy business cards). There have been some shipping issues, but everything should make it in just under the wire. I'll be sharing the table with some very talented people:

- Allison Braun, comic creator and printmaker.
- Maria Calderone, illustator and printmaker.
- Brian Rubin, writer of Coptopus comic.
- Collin David, artist of Coptopus comic.

If you happen to be in the New York City area this weekend you should stop in and say hi and have a gander. All the info is on the card above.

Your pal,
Chris

Hey everyone!
I've entered one of my designs into a weekly t-shirt contest at Uneetee.com. If I get enough votes they will make some t-shirts with my drawing on it and give me some cash, which would be lovely. If you would be so kind, please go to the following link and vote for my picture:

Streamo and Prickernelious coming soon!








In the last posting I mentioned that a few of my older comic projects will be showing up in the 25footclown galaxy. The first two will be streamo and Prickernelious.
Streamo is an ongoing project featuring hastily drawn nonsensical comic strips. The idea is that each one is drawn in less than two minutes, and that I have no idea in mind before I start. The results are usually ridiculous. Over 300 are produced at this point and they will be collected into a book pretty soon.
Prickernelious is a story about a small rural town (population: 6) and their encounter with a ruthless villain. The first book, Villainy Abound, collects the complete first story arc.
Keep an eye out for both of these books coming soon. I'll let you know when the official dates are set. Take it easy.

Your pal,
Chris

Maiden Voyage! (part 2)

The title of this blog could also read "Oh yeah... I have a blog, don't I." I was surprised to visit my blog and see that my lone post was from over a year ago, so I intend to remedy this now. I also don't feel so bad, because I didn't actually tell anyone about this blog yet, so no one has been waiting for a post. But this too I shall remedy.
So, to business. 25footclown is chugging along alright. I'm still making buttons and all that, but lately I've shifted the focus of the company more to comics (of both the print and web variety). Some of my older projects that used to fall under the mantle of 100 Free Wigs Productions, now will be absorbed into 25footclown. Briefly, 100 Free Wigs is a little production company that my friend Dan Wilday and I started in high school in 1996. Since then I have slapped that name on many of my projects, even though they had nothing to do with Dan. I want to reserve the 100 Free Wigs name for projects that Dan and I work on together, and have 25footclown as the figurehead for my solo ventures. More later about the specific comic titles.
As for events, there are a couple coming up rather soon. First is the La Leona Arts Open House on March 7, 2009. It will be held at 11 Broadway, #24 in Kingston NY from 5-9pm. It will be a fun evening featuring art by Sadee Brathwaite and myself, as well as good food, good music, all that stuff. Stop by if you're in the area. It's a part of Kingston's First Saturday so there will be lots of other art-related things to behold as well. At the end of March on the 28th will be The Showcase. It will be at The Bunker (15 Gage St, Kingston NY) from 6-9. Come see a few artists showing there work and selling their wares, along with more food and more music. Should be a fun time at a good venue. I will remind you again before the events with some sexy flyers. Until then I will leave you with some URLs to peruse.

25footclown.com - The future hub of all things 25footclown.
comicspace.com/twenty5footclown - Where much of my comic stuff can be seen.
25footclown.etsy.com - Where you can buy some 25footclown swag.

Thanks for reading, see you in Feb 2010! (I hope I'm kidding).

Chris
