Ever feel like you fit in the "inbetween" spaces?

Yeah, me too. Must be a comicbook thing, huh?

Hi. My name is Jeremy Smith. I have co-created and illustrated graphic novels with my good friend John Ira Thomas for a very long time, under the moniker of Candle Light Press. I guess I am here to meet and exchange ideas and thoughts with other mavericks, other "in-betweeners".

Candle Light Press, you ask? Candle Light Press is a fresh-n-feisty independent small publisher based in Iowa City, Iowa. I used to live there. A few months ago, I packed my whole life up in boxes and moved to Portland, Oregon, with my partner of many years and our two cats. See what I mean about "inbetween" spaces? I belong in both places and neither. The only way from here is forward, in a new direction. That pretty much sums up the ethos and spirit of Candle Light Press and the unique books we create. Forget "categories" and "labels" and staying put in a safe place. Turn the corner and join the new people.

Basically, John Ira and I work on two series together, Zoo Force and the Tales of Shades & Angels. I can almost guarantee you've never seen anything quite like either of them. Here's a shortlist of the books I have co-created with John Ira for Candle Light Press:

NUMBERS: A Tale of Shades & Angels
ISBN 0974314706

THE FAIRER SEX (v.1): A Tale of Shades & Angels
ISBN 0974314757

THE FAIRER SEX (v.2): A Tale of Shades & Angels
ISBN 0976605325

ZOO FORCE: Dear Eniko
ISBN 0974314714

ZOO FORCE: Bean & Nothingness
ISBN 0974314773

THE NEW ZOO FORCE BOOK IS OUT NOW!!!!!!!
ZOO FORCE: BBQ
ISBN 0976605333

You can see previews and images from these and other books by CLP by visiting www.candlelightpress.com. All books by Candle Light Press are available through Cold Cut Distribution, and, of course, WHEREVER BOOKS ARE SOLD.

(Hopefully the third and final installment of THE FAIRER SEX: A Tale of Shades & Angels will be out in latelatelate '07. Or very early '08. Gosh these things take a long time to draw! Keep your eyes open and your fingers crossed!)
