New Video to promote Archetypal Images

Posted In: Comic News, Events, Video

Here’s a video of me at XCape Con in MI from 2008. In it I explain the vision behind Archetypal Images and why I’m inspired to make the comics I do. Incidentally, I went ahead and actually manifested a Youtube page to host it, so if you’re curious you can check that out via the social network links in the sidepanel.

So where are all the comics, you ask? Well, I’m currently busting my hump to get some new material out this spring, as well as reformatting everything I’ve done up to this point to make the presentation more streamlined and in the workflow of the rest of the site.

If you check out my last post you’ll see the pencils for one of the first few pages of my new project. And if you haven’t yet seen the Sponsorship Special comic, that’s my most professional publication to date.

Also, if you’re on Facebook and would really like to do me a huge favor, I’m participating in a contest to win a large grant to help me finance working on my projects full time—all it takes is getting your vote! Here’s the link to where you can do that: http://apps.facebook.com/dockerswearthepants/entries/13021

Incidentally, you can vote once each day, so if you can spare a moment from now until March 15th you’d really be doing me a huge favor!

Thanks!

INTERVIEW FROM S.P.A.C.E. 09′

by ericwilmoth on 06/16/2009 at 12:32 pm
Posted In: Comic News, Events

I mentioned in my recap of the Small Press & Alternative Comics Expo this last March that while there I’d been interviewed for a podcast hosted through Comic Related, a site that specializes in reporting on comics. I just got word yesterday that it’s now up on their site, so naturally I wanted to forward it on to you all. You can check it out via the link below.

Comic Related – The Related Recap #120

Wait for the audio to load, then if you want you can forward ahead to my interview, which starts at 40:25—and if you’re interested, right after that is an interview with my buddy Jay Jacot from Lansing.

Enjoy!

———-P.S.———–
The link was working earlier, but seems problematic now…so if you try it and it doesn’t work please give it another shot later.

XCape Con Recap

by ericwilmoth on 11/25/2008 at 6:14 am
Posted In: Comic News, Events

The XCape Con was my first convention in over three years (since the release of the LC4 comic at the May Motor City Comic Con, 2005) and though it was a slow weekend for all the guests I felt like it was a success for me, personally.

In the past I was too hung up on how I did sales-wise, and that always led to a certain degree of anxiety, usually exacerbated by the multitude of challenges I was facing in the rest of my life. Now I’ve got a much stronger presentation and am focused on connecting with people and having a good time. I also am getting a better sense of how to approach the people who are strolling by and inviting them in; fortunately I have some new friends who excel at that— Jay Jacot and Ryan Claytor —who I was lucky to be set up next to, and pick up some of their practices.

Overall, I met a lot of great folks, made some valuable professional contacts and did better in sales than I’ve done at previous conventions—which I chalk up to having a better outlook as well as better product.

My thanks to everyone who stopped by and grabbed something—it was a pleasure meeting each of you…and thank you everyone who offered some form of advice or info—I appreciate every bit of it and will be doing my best to make use of it here in the weeks and months ahead.

I’m looking forward to the next con already!

RECAP OF HERO QUEST BOOK SIGNING

by ericwilmoth on 09/29/2008 at 11:21 am
Posted In: Comic News, Events

My thanks to Nate Mezel, owner and operator of Hero Quest Comics and Games in Howell for hosting my first book signing a couple weeks back. The signing went fairly well—a number of people I’d not seen in years came by to show their support and a good handful of new people stopped to grab a book because they’d heard about it through the LCP and WHMI.

I also got an extra-special surprise visit from fellow comic creator Ryan Claytor
(http://www.elephanteater.com), who just moved to Lansing from California . I’d met him at a book signing of his own a few weeks back, so he decided to return the favor. Of course, I completely forgot to get a photo with him. Doh!

If you weren’t able to stop by but still wanted to get a book, Hero Quest still has some, so stop on in—I’m sure Nate would love to see some new faces.

REQUEST FOR QUOTES

by ericwilmoth on 09/16/2008 at 11:40 am
Posted In: Comic News

It was recommended to me that I get some brief, 1-2 line quotes from people who have read the Sponsorship Special to get their impressions of it and me, as something I could use to help with further promoting the book and seeking additional sponsorship. When you have a spare moment, if you could compose a few thoughts and either email them to me or post them directly in this blog it would be a huge help.

Thanks!

T- 10 DAYS TILL BOOK RELEASE PARTY!

by ericwilmoth on 08/27/2008 at 11:52 am
Posted In: Comic News, Events

The books are in…

…and the clock is rapidly ticking down to the release party…

I want to encourage everyone to get there as early as you can, since I plan to start the event (at 6pm) with a brief presentation—roughly 15-30 minutes long—to basically talk about the book, explain its purpose and share a bit about my plans following this event. Even if you can’t make it in time to catch that portion of things I’ve got a buddy who’ll be shooting a video of the event, so it should be available on youtube shortly thereafter.

Incidentally, if anyone has forgotten where the book release party will be at, the info is here.

I’ve been out beating the streets the last couple days, posting flyers and postcards around Lansing/East Lansing, now that classes are finally in session at MSU and LCC. It’s actually been a bit of fun, and it feels good going out and raising awareness of the book and the event. It’s even nicer when I stumble into someone who is genuinely interested in comics and excited about coming to the event.

I sent out press releases on Friday to Lansing and Howell newspapers and radio stations, so hopefully I’ll get some attention through all that, as well.

Honestly, I could really use another week to prepare for this release—everything’s taken twice as long to deal with as I’d expected, so I’m behind where I want to be with a number of things. All-in-all, though, it looks to be shaping up pretty well, and has been one hell of a learning experience.

Incidentally, It turns out I’m competing for that weekend with the wedding of a relative on my dad’s side of the family which we all overlooked, so an extra week would’ve helped there, too—but them’s the breaks.

Anyhow, if you haven’t done so already, please invite some friends to join you—let’s make this thing a bash!

Can’t wait to see you all there!

E!

——————————-

P.S. —

My buddy, Steve Peters (creator of Sparky), just came out with a new book: Awakening Comics #0, which is a precursor to his Xeric Award-winning series, Awakening Comics. It covers Steve’s entire artistic life, from birth to the time period in which the first issue came out in 1997. It is a prequel issue that sets up the events of Awakening Comics and casts them in a new light.

If you’d like a copy, the book is available direct from Steve himself, for a mere $3.99. To purchase, visit www.awakeningcomics.com.
