January! 2013! I’ve got lots of new things to show you and talk about!
The first big thing is that my very first book, CRYING IN FRONT OF YOUR DOG AND OTHER STORIES, is
now available for pre-order! I’ve been working on it for a long time and it’s finally coming out this spring. The image up above is just one of many, many pages from the book (colored slightly just for the internet). Here’s a little info about the book from the Grimalkin Press website…
CRYING IN FRONT OF YOUR DOG AND OTHER STORIES by PHIL McANDREW - Over 200 pages of new and collected stories about life, death, love, ghosts, cats, time travel, humans, literature, fear, magic, evil organizations, happiness, television, secrets, dogs, loneliness, house plants, ancient dark rituals, pizza, failure, power, money, nature, government conspiracies, regret, the internet, horrifying monsters, awful jobs, wizards, the ocean, aliens, dads, kissing, crying and teeth.
All pre-orders come with a FREE limited edition print. This particular print will only be available as part of the pre-order deal and will not be available ever again once the pre-order ends.
Okay! The next big thing I have to tell you about is BENIGN KINGDOM!
I’ve got an art book coming out as part of the
next Benign Kingdom collection! I couldn’t be more excited. If you don’t know, Benign Kingdom is “a creator-owned publishing project designed to showcase the art of independent comic creators…. the goal is to produce an individual art book for each artist but also manufacture a hardcover edition that collects all four of their individual books in one beautiful collection.”
The image up above is my cover illustration for my art book. The other three artists doing books for this set are
Emily Carroll,
Gigi D.G., and
Tyson Hesse. They’re all amazing and you can snag the entire set of books for yourself or a friend
right over here.
The third thing on the agenda is… REGULAR SHOW!
My friends over at BOOM! Studios asked me to draw a variant cover for the first issue of the new Regular Show comics that they’re publishing. I love doing these covers for BOOM! and I hope I get to do more. I don’t know when exactly the first issue comes out, but I do know that my friend
KC Green is writing the comics and that is absolutely perfect.
Speaking of comic book covers, the
Adventure Time cover that I drew last year was named the
FOURTH BEST comic book cover of 2012 by ifanboy.com. Holy moly.
