Thumpculture NEWS

Bulletin:

Hey, I didn't say *good* news.

2007-03-07

Uh... hi.

so I thought I'd send a quick update to answer our brand-new #1 FAQ, which is basically "where the hell are you / what's happened to the updates / I was enjoying that, why has it STOPPED you fucker???"

Basically, since setting out on this mind-wrenching rollercoaster ride of artistic self-employment, I've been rather more successful than I was honestly expecting, and am currently absolutely swamped with work. I'm flat out right now working back to back on a couple of huge, wonderful, enormously exciting and, um, PAYING comics projects, which are going to keep me ludicrously busy until... um, June, at least. More details about all this excitement and wondrousness as and when I am cleared to talk about it all...

And, while I'm sharing the good / bad news, there's a fairly good chance I might have an even bigger, more wondrous and, um, time-consuming project lining up for pretty shortly after that.

So where does this leave Thumpculture, I hear you ask with barely suppressed frustration? Well, here, pretty much. It's certainly not dead, it's just having a little break. I am monstrous grieved that I didn't manage to finish off the first 'issue' before taking this break - and we were just a few pages away - but make no mistake, I will be back to carry on just as soon as I get a chance. If I could figure out a way to actually make any money off this, it would help. Answers on the back of a postcard appreciated on that one.

If you really can't stand the wait, why not take some positive, proactive action like, oh I dunno, e-mailing Image Comics or somebody and telling them there's this singularly awesome comic called Thumpculture that is prety much the best thing ever and they should totally pay me many bushels of gold to publish it and make me the famousest cartoonist in the whole wide world. Um, for example.

Make no mistake, Thumpculture is here for the long haul, it is my long-term goal... ah, if you people knew the fun that lies ahead... I just have a lot of bills to pay right now.

Thank you for listening to my lengthy apologia. Your comments and feedback are always very much appreciated, so feel free to drop me a line to offer your encouragement / kick me into gear for being a total sellout slacker, whichever takes your fancy.
