Oily Comics has re-opened its subscription service. This has got to be the most in-your-face publishing shape I’ve seen, a subscription to small, short minicomics by a rotating stable of creators, including Chuck Forsman, Sammy Harkham, James Hindle, Warren Craghead and more. I still haven’t done it myself—I never have $30 at the right time—but I know eventually it’s going to happen. Heck, I’m vain enough that a Michael Deforge designed membership card with a hand-drawn portrait of me by Chuck or Melissa Mendes is practically worth $30 by itself.

Vincent “King Mini” Stall is one of my very favorite cartoonists lately. His stuff is hard to pin down, full of repeated themes and ideas and shapes. I like the idea that he’s refining a small set of ideas over successive works; a mark (I’m guessing) of someone who’s been at what they do long enough to be turning inward rather than outward. These images are from his “Drifting Weightless” mini, which is way under-priced at $3.75. It’s probably worth mentioning that Vincent’s one of the principals at influential design firm PUNY.

DIARY COMICS #3! Debuting this weekend at TCAF, but available for online preorder right the heck now. Orders will start shipping on Wednesday, May 9. This thing is FAT—88 black and white pages, 82 of which are comics. Full color covers with French flaps, and a bellyband to hold it all together. $10 for the whole chunky enchilada, or $15 for a sketched in edition (that front page is just perfect for that). Published by Koyama Press, the best of presses. If you’re at TCAF this weekend come by the Koyama table and let’s slap fives!
The minicomic and the graphic novel deviate quite a bit in how Maddy gets a magic boat. So if you have both you won't be reading the same story over again.
I'm currently on a Jazz kick (entering it's 34th year...) and I've just started listening to Jazz FM 91 on my iPod. Check out their app. It's awesome.
At the MoCCA Festival this year I finally got to meet JP Coovert, who is fast becoming one of my favourite cartoonists. In his deceptively simple looking drawings, JP manages to pack a lot of emotional wallop and deeper meaning. One of the brains behind One Percent Press, JP uses the medium of the minicomic to vent, to rejoice, and to share his emotions and state of mind using childlike fantasy and a perfectly honed cartooning style.
His latest, Rematch, is available online in its entirety.
great clean and fun style. Reminds me a bit of Tom Gauld

I recently came into possession of a ton of JP's mini comics. They are an absolute pleasure, from the way they are designed to the way they are drawn. I'd highly recommend seeking them out and picking up a handful.

I met him breifly as last year's SPX, and his two minis that I bought were definitely in my top 5. I was blown away by the details in the cover, and the art and the story just got better and better with each page. The man is a demi-genius!

every time I pull out some zines to show people what is awesome about minicomics, JP Coovert's work is always ALWAYS in the mix!! I don't think I've ever picked up a book of his I didn't love.

I love his Simple Routines comic. One of the best daily comics i have read. I'm a few issues behind, i should probably order them soon.
Here are the first three pages of a fifteen page story called The Cloud Castle which is number four in the Adventures Of The Flying Boat minicomics series. This story needs some finishing. I've been putting it off because I thought it was a mammoth task but it's really not much work at all. I'm hoping I can have this for sale in my shop by next week.

This is a detail from a panel from the 3rd Harry and Silvio minicomic. I had meant to have the minicomic shop up and running today but a deadline got in the way. I forgot how much I struggle with thumbnails. I'll have it up by tomorrow.

Thanks so much! I'll be printing these this week and selling them both here and on Etsy. Your stuff is incredie, if you have any small press stuff I'd love to trade.
Finally put this together, my first mini in a while. I'll be printing off a bunch of new minis this week. I love minicomics, they are about creating and sharing.

Sorry about the web silence lately. I have always noted that things break around me, well anything technological. First my scanner went about a week ago. Then my computer died, so I ended up borrowing my wife's laptop. And now our wireless network has disappeared. I assume it's getting fed better down the street. Please feel free to contact me, I'll be stopping by the local Longbranch branch of the library to check email etc.
Anyway...The above is the first three pages of an ongoing Harry and Silvio story that I've been working feverishly on. The world keeps opening up more and more to me and it is so much fun to explore.I'm working really big and really detailed so the inking is taking forever but inking is my favorite part of the process so I don't mind at all. Inking is when the image reveals itself, sometimes in really surprising ways. The current plan is to publish as a web comic, a minicomic and to send out proposals to various companies.I sold copies of the earlier Harry and Silvio stories at the FanExpo and got some great responses.

I just snagged me the latest minicomic from Chris “Elio” Eliopoulos, Milky Way Shuffle. Elio consistently impresses me with his supercharged kid-friendly comics. His style is wholly distinct, and everything he does seems to explode with joy and pure fun. It’s no wonder you also see his work on Yo Gabba Gabba and Nick Jr.

Joe Lambert has posted some tips on a clever binding technique he used to put together one of the books in his Sundays 3 minicomic, an anthology edited and designed by himself, Alex Kim, Chuck Forsman, & Sean Ford.
Joe also posted this little video on Flickr showing how the books are packaged together:
Last week at Canzine I had the pleasure of snagging a copy of Jesse Jacobs’s minicomic Small Victories and was thereby introduced to his work, which I hadn’t seen before. I immediately fell in love with his cartooning upon opening it. Delicate linework and playful drawing are sandwiched between a silkscreened cover, and inside you’ll find a series of loosely-related comics dealing with Jesse’s views on religion, the Canadian identity, and childhood memories, all threaded through the adventures of escaped circus animals. I can’t wait to read more of his work.
