Vortex #2 on Sale in my Online Store

Filed under: Press,Print Comics — Tags: , — William Cardini @ 8:18 am

I just added Vortex #2 to my online store.

Vortex #2

You can buy it individually or in a combo pack with #1 for a discount.

Vortex #1 and #2 Combo Pack

Instead of being Xeroxed, Vortex #1 and #2 were printed digitally in black by the Print Shoppe. Unfortunately, this increase in quality comes with an increase in price. But I think they look great. Look at my buddy Grant, he loves it:

There’s already an advance review of the first two issues of Vortex on the Novi Magazine site because it’s William Cardini takeover week there! Be warned, that review has minor plot spoilers. Check back on Novi throughout the week for more content related to me in some way.

Manga Studio 4 Makes 16-Hour Comic Book Day Possible

Filed under: Events — Tags: , , , — William Cardini @ 8:01 pm

It looks like I’m just going to be almost two days late with both my posts this week. Since 24-hour comic book day started today at 10 am, some of my cartoonist friends and I decided to hole up in my studio at my new place and spend all day drawing comics (we’re calling it 16-hour comic book day – 10 am to 2 am!).

Because I’ve discovered that I can produce comics three to four times faster on the computer than on paper, I downloaded Manga Studio 4 the nite before last and finally got to start messing around with it today. This is my first drawing with the program:

The algorithms that it uses for the various nibs and markers feel really realistic, altho the tapering effect is annoying. I’ll have the final product up sometime after 2 am!

Froghead Hangover Review #2

Filed under: Press,Print Comics — Tags: , , — William Cardini @ 8:24 pm

Froghead Hangover got reviewed over at Optical Sloth, here’s a quote:

I’ll just say that any ambivalence I had about the last issue is gone with this one, as this is a pile of fun. Those frog eyes will haunt you if you’re not careful, if you read this you’ll see what I mean.

Review.

The review is on the same page as the review for TRANZ, so if you scroll down you can check that out too.

Froghead Hangover Review

Filed under: Press,Print Comics — Tags: , , , — William Cardini @ 10:05 am

Froghead Hangover got reviewed as part of a mini-comics round-up over at High-Low, the temporary home of Rob Clough’s sequart.com comic column.

Despite this comic’s absurd title, it is absolutely an accurate description of its contents. Reminiscent of somewhere between Mat Brinkman and Sam Gaskin, Cardini tells a story of a video-game playing humanoid who wakes up from a bad hangover to find that a large froghead has somehow wound up in his house.

Review.
