This past Saturday, Math Fiction, the 3D comic I did with Pat Aulisio, Ian Harker, and fellow GCPM member Josh Burggraf, sold out at the Yeah Dude Comics table at the Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival. Thanks to everyone who came by to get a copy!
Here’s a gif that Josh Burrgraf made showing it off:
I’ll post when I have some copies.
Math Fiction is an 11×17″ comic containing stories by Pat Aulisio, Ian Harker, Josh Burggraf, and me, William Cardini. We’re going to be debuting it this Saturday, Dec 4th, at the Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Fest, come get a copy if you’re in the area.
The interiors are going to be in red/blue anaglyph 3D. Here’s a preview of a panel before it’s been converted into 3D:
Here’s a page in 3D:
The covers are screenprinted in silver and blue ink. Pat’s cover is on the front but we all did a version for each side of the cover sheet. Here’s mine:
I hope that everyone in the U.S. had a belly-filling Thanksgiving! One thing I’m thankful for is everyone who came by our studio during E.A.S.T., so thanks y’all. Of course, what I have is never enough, so Glade and I spent some time brainstorming ways to bring even more people in next year. We’ll see if they work.
If you’re feeling nostalgic, I just added a couple photos to the East Austin Studio Tour 2010 set on my flickr, check it out here.
On the last day of the tour, I finally had a new edition of 20 Miizzzard screenprints ready for sale. Here’s a shot of the purple/green version (there’s also purple/orange):
Thanks to everyone who came out to our place on the East Austin Studio Tour last weekend! Those who couldn’t make it, there’s still this upcoming weekend. We’ll be open to visitors from 11am to 6pm on Saturday and Sunday with free beer, snacks, and art.
Here’s how my studio is looking during the interstitial:
If you look closely on the bookshelf on the left, you can see an old broken toy Grimlock. Is that worth anything? The painting on the easel in the middle is something that I intended to finish during last weekend (working on it while people stopped by). I didn’t get very far, though; I forgot how hard it is to actually work on anything during E.A.S.T. On the right, in the background, you can see a collection of Gold County Paper Mill merch that I have for sale. On the right, in the foreground, you can see two screens that I got burned at Industry Screenprint this past week. I plan on using them to print a new Miizzzard screenprint for next weekend.
The annual East Austin Studio Tour is this upcoming weekend and the following. Studios all over the east side will be open from 11am to 6pm on Sat Nov 13th, Sun Nov 14th, Sat Nov 20th, and Sun Nov 21st. Glade and I are participating just like we did last year. We’re Stop #107 on the tour (1807 E 22ND ST). We’re gonna have another Aaron Flynn installation in the garage but unfortunately Alison Kuo moved to NYC so she won’t be here to install by our couch again, but we do have one of her drawings from her solo show at SOFA. Everything in our living room will be completely different from last year – we’ll be showing all of my work that didn’t sell at my Domy show, our artwork from our show at End of an Ear, and our engagement art.
As some of you may recall, several weeks ago I went to my parents’ house in Houston and cleaned out my old room. I brought some boxes of my old stuff back, which made my normally cluttered studio an impossible-to-navigate mess. I’ve spent the last week cleaning and getting rid of stuff and I thought it would be fun to post before and after shots.
So, here they are:

We are currently accepting submissions of writing and full-color comics for an online version of Catch Up. Details are here.
Caketrain #8, which comes out this month, contains a collaboration between me and Jak Cardini that continues our “Impossible Objects” series, where I illustrate lines from JC’s poems. Here’s the cover:
Cover for Caketrain #8
You can order the issue here.
If you’re curious about “Impossible Objects,” we made a zine (called Impossible Objects #1, natch) which is for sale on the Gold County Paper Mill etsy.
This concludes my series of posts of installation shots of my show Hypermorph at Domy Books, Houston.
On the southern wall, I painted the title of my show and had a TV playing an animation on a loop:

Here’s the animation that was playing on the TV (it doesn’t have any sound):
Hypermorph Animation – Rough Cut
I’m calling this a rough cut because I intend to go back in and expand/refine this animation and have my brother do some music for it.
My series of posts of installation shots of my show Hypermorph at Domy Books, Houston continues.
Here’s a shot of the western wall at the opening:

My blog and site are mostly done, but I’m still tweaking. I’ll let y’all know when I stop tinkering with this. Please let me know if anything’s broken or looks weird.
I went to Houston this past weekend to clean up my old room at my parents’ house. I had to sort through so much artwork, so many drawings of cyborg dragons and spike- and muscle-ridden dinosaurs. It gave me some ideas. I’ll scan some of my old drawz to post eventually.
More importantly, my Hypermorph show at Domy Books Houston went down on 10/21 so I’m free to post everything. Over the next week I’ll be posting what was on each wall. Here’s a shot of the opening with the eastern wall that I’ll post details from this time:
