Truthfully, I'm absolute rubbish at keeping you all abreast of the recent goings-on- so I figured I'd take a moment and wave in your general direction to reassure you that I'm VERY MUCH ALIVE and KICKING.

I'm currently working on wrapping up work on "Ashes", which is a book I've become immensely proud of over the last few months- I'll hopefully have more details to spill amidst the coming year, but in the meantime I find myself blissfully enraptured by the inksmear of Brooklyn skylines for your benefit.

"Run Like Hell" should be coming out in a few weeks or so- so keep your eyes glued to your local comic store around December 18th and pick up a copy (or a dozen).

In case you don't hear from me sooner, I hope you're all having a wonderful time doing that voodoo that you do!

"Ashes", written by Mario Candelaria and illustrated by yours truly is finally coming to fruition.  I've posted a few pages from the book months ago, during its earliest inception and it's definitely some of my favorite personal work to date.  But as you all know, comics are a fickle business- if you're not part of the big picture, you're sitting on the sidelines (and I'm too impatient for sidelines)- with that in mind, we've launched ourselves a Kickstarter campaign to fuel the fires (Firefighting puns for a book about firefighters).  

I've been a huge advocate for Kickstarter as a community funding platform- recent success stories like "Sullivan's Sluggers", "Wild Blue Yonder" and Jason Brubaker's incredible "reMind" have been made possible by its expanding community.  I won't get too soapbox-worthy with my excitement- but supporting comics through methods like Kickstarter and Indie-A-Go-Go are essential to the industry which is overrun with countless events and relaunches.  Supporting the comics YOU want to read, which wouldn't normally get the necessary awareness and expand smaller creators' fanbase.

With that in mind, I'll shamelessly plug my own campaign:

Take a moment to read the EXCLUSIVE 20 PAGE PREVIEW at our page, spread the word on here or facebook or twitter or smoke signals in the skies, and if you're so inclined and feeling generous- contribute! Hell, just take five minutes out of your day to check out some of the other rad comic projects looking to win their way into your collection, there's some serious cool out there.

THANKYOUSOMUCH!

I'm finally getting caught up on updating the handful of social media outlets I subscribe to with progress reports (and to ensure nobody thinks I've died).  2011's done- finally.  My full recap of those 365 days can be found at my proper blarg: slomotionart.blogspot.com (self-indulgnce at its finest!)  As we stretch our legs and dive into the coming days, I'm in the midst of both starting and finishing two projects.  First off, GOLGOTHA (written by Andrew Harrison, and art from which I've posted previously) will be wrapped by February. Then, I'll be digging my heels in with a new book called TRASHLANDERS, which is already proven to be a proverbial blast.

But more importantly, we've FINALLY got a book seeing print (by means other than myself or a company that inadvertently goes belly-up), that being- TAD CALDWELL AND THE MONSTER KID.  Written by Kurt Amacker (Dead Souls, Immortal 60) and illustrated by yours truly- I ended up kicking things to eleven and wrapping the whole shebang at lightning-fast speeds to hustle to the printers.  The 132 page graphic novel will see its official release through Seraphemera Books, but making a super-sly early debut at WIZARD WORLD NEW ORLEANS (January 28-29th) with Kurt's appearance.  Be sure and stop by his table, tell him how brutally awesome he is, buy 6 copies of the book, give em to 6 of your friends and each of you tell 6 more people about it (see what I did there? triple 6? Number of the beast? it's a thinkpiece.)

In the meantime, I'm at the desk.  Hopefully providing more frequent updates than I have been.

Hope y'all had a killer New Year's!

It's that time of year again, time for the kids to become beggars with terrifying masks, pilgrims to rape the land of its bountiful gifts and christians to repent to their nearest Wal*Mart to spoil their fat beggar children rotten.  Or as the greeting card industry calls it: THE HOLIDAYS!  With such fruitful occasions on the horizon- I usually make a point to give my workload a little wiggle room so I can churn out a few pieces for you guys!

You want your very own Kid_Reverie drawn Wolverine? Or Maybe Boba Fett? Hell, HR Pufnstuff? Whatever you want*!

All you gotta do is PM me or email me at karlslominskiart@yahoo.com and tell me what you want and I'll throw it on the board and (as Nike so infamously said) JUST DO IT!
