Going to Space in April!

No, not outerspace. I’m headed to the Small Press Alternative Comics Expo in Columbus, OH!

Sadly, only half of the bewilderedkid comix team will be there. AJ Niehaus will be busy here in the Twin Cities taking her final test to become a pilates instructor.

Meanwhile, I will be heading out there along with fellow Twin Citian and comicker Ryan Dow - WHOO HOO ROAD TRIP! By the way, does anyone know if Twin Citian is grammatically correct? Regardless, Ryan and I will be in Columbus on Saturday, April 18th and Sunday, April 19th for those keeping track. If anyone in the Columbus area reads this blog, which I highly doubt, please come and see the both of us!

Super Fantastica Comix 2009 will be making its debut that weekend. Also on sale will be the usual swag, Super Maxi Pad Girl, various mini comics, etc.

Hope to see you out there!

Reporting from SPACE - Day Zero

Well, we made it. Myself and Ryan Dow, who some are calling the greatest team up since Peter Porker “Spider-Ham” and Captain Americat, arrived in Columbus just shortly after 11:00 PM EST. We traveled a little over 750 miles in about 13 - 14 hours. Some of our great adventures thus far were getting stuck in Chicago and somewhere in Indiana, eating at a Waffle House in Indianapolis, and stopping at a Wal-Mart in Tomah, Wisconsin for a new iTrip. Fun times.

More stuff to post tomorrow. Need to get some shut eye for tomorrow.

Reporting from SPACE - Day One

As you probably already know, myself and Ryan Dow, who are in Columbus, Ohio attending SPACE (Small Press and Alternative Comics Expo). Last night was pretty rough, we didn’t get in until quite late, so last night’s blog didn’t have much in the way of pictures, sorry. So, you would be expecting a bunch of pics today, right? WRONG! I forgot to take any. LAME! Anyway, I have some pics from the last couple of days that I would like to post instead.

Here are dry runs of my table from Thursday afternoon.

Just pretend that the television and such aren’t at the convention.

Super Maxi-Pad Girl did NOT bring the Rock Band drum set with her, much to my chagrin.

I look sleepy. And sorta creepy, and this time it’s not the stache. Where the hell is my head coming from? The netherworld? I’ve always been horrible at taking pictures of myself. Fortunately, I never took a photo of myself in a tank-top t-shirt and posted it on Myspace.

Ryan hit the bed almost as soon as we got into the hotel room. My question is, how many freaking pillows does one man need? I had four on my bed too, but pushed them off to the side. Ryan actually slept on all of them!

Here is my lame attempt at making up for not taking pictures. You see, Ryan took some photos, but we don’t have an adapter to put import them into my computer. So, that’s the best you get. For now.

More stuff to post tomorrow, I PROMISE! Now, I need to get something to eat, I’m freakin’ starvin!

Reporting from SPACE - Day Two

As promised, I have pictures from the show! I met some really cool people while at the show. There was a load of guys from the Kansas City area that had a whole bunch of cool stuff, I have most of them listed below. Also, I was able to meet Nate Powell and talk to him a little bit about his stuff. So that was cool too. Some of the pictures turned out fuzzy for some reason or another.

This is where it all went down; the Aladdin Shrine Center.

Ryan putting the finishing touches on his table.

Here’s what my stuff looked like. I had a killer bright light essentially spotlighting the Super Maxi-Pad Girl merch.

Below is Matt Hawkins, he is one of the super cool guys I met from Kansas City. This guy does awesome papercraft and even put together a book about it, which I bought. The only KC guy I didn’t get a picture of was Duane Cunningham.

Next up is Kyle Strahm, another one of the KC guys. He was nominated for the 2008 SPACE prize with his book Clockwork Creature, which I also picked up, but have yet to read.

This is AJ Smith and Chris Garrett. AJ traded minis with me, his work is awesome by the way. Meanwhile, Chris works at a comic shop in Kansas City that is super indie friendly. Also, he informed me of a convention called MoKan, which I might look into attending this fall. Of course, I forgot to pick something up from him, but I’m sure I will down the road.

Lastly, Nate Powell, should really need no introduction. You may know his work from the critically acclaimed, Eisner nominated “Swallow Me Whole.” Being a person with neurological issues myself, this book really touched me.

That’s it folks! Travelling back to the Twin Cities tomorrow. I’ll be seeing you all soon!!

The brand new Super Maxi-Pad Girl button will be available at C2E2 in Chicago from April 16th - 18th and SPACE in Columbus from April 24th - 25th.

Online orders will be taken at some point in May.

Hello everyone, we are back from our whirlwind tour of the midwest based conventions. For those of you I met at C2E2 in Chicago and SPACE in Columbus, thanks for checking out the good ol’ blog.

Since these conventions are now over, kaput, done with, for this year, we are now looking to stock Super Maxi-Pad Girl #3 in various indie friendly comic shops. Also, if you can’t find it at your friendly neighborhood comic store, please check out OUR online store to purchase.

More blogging will come soon, such as convention rundowns, more of my original graphic novel “Hijinks”, news on various art shows, and so on and so forth.
