Entry 130: New York, New York

Start Spreading the News!
Hey, everybody-
Dustin Weaver here, you know the guy who "writes" this blog you're reading right now, just wanting to let you know that I will be in New York City this week for the New York Comic Con. (Also, what do you think of my new catch phrase, "start spreading the news." Catchy huh?) That's right, I want to be a part of it, and I will. I'll have a table in artist alley that I'll be sharing with my friend, Jeremy Barlow. We will be located at table L13.  If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere. That location, L13, seems as good as any. I'll also be signing at the Marvel booth from 11am to 12pm on Friday.

Please come by our table and say hi. I'll sign comics. I'll have some comics I can sell to you. I'll talk to you. I'll be nice. I might be able to do a sketch for you, though my commission list is already booked up. Sometimes I can squeeze in some sketching. Jeremy will bath. It will be nice.

So come on by. Tell them that Dustin sent you, and by them I mean us. It will freak me out for a second until I remember writing this blog entry.

Anyway, I'm excited. These vagabond shoes are longing to stray! Same with my vagabond socks.

So, see you there!

Here's a page from SHIELD Volume 2 #3 which is out this week!

Entry 127: Interview, L'Enfant, Barlow

If this is your first time visiting here: Hello and welcome. My name is Dustin Weaver I draw comics and this is my blog. I hope you enjoy it.

If you're  a regular visitor: Hey... me again. Wanna see some more drawings? No? Well, I haven't got anything else. It's pretty much all I do.

Moving on!

-My first order of business: I recently did an interview at Multiversity Comics. Please go check it out! Multiversity Comics Interview
Let me know if I sound like a dick.

-Second order of business: SHIELD got a review on the Geek Dad blog, and they were very nice! That's a super great sight and you should check it out. You can find that review here Geek Dad's spotlight on SHIELD

-Third order of business: Speaking of being a geek dad, I suppose I qualify as a geek dad and I'm currently developing a project that draws a lot of inspiration from my daughter.

Jeremy Barlow and I are in the early stages of developing another short story for another Image anthology. Jeremy and I last collaborated on They'll Bury You Where You Stand!, a short western which appeared in the anthology Outlaw Territory volume 2. In that story we were ably to express our love for European comics and spaghetti westerns, and we continue our Euro comic love with this new short story tentatively titled L'Enfant D'Etoiles.
L'Enfant D'Etoiles well be an epic space sci-fi along the lines of books like The Metabarons- but with a baby. And yeah, my daughter is a big inspiration for this character.

Here's a look at the design for L'Enfant with different color schemes. Look at them. Tell me which one you like. I should say that though my daughter is a girl, L'Enfant is a boy... Well actually, one might assume he's a boy. I'm not sure if we'll be confirming that or not.

-Fourth order of business: (am I still doing this "order of business" thing) They'll Bury you Where You Stand! -you can now read in it's entirety right here on this blog. Check it out. You can find the link to the page on the right side

-Which leads into my last order of business: Jeremy Barlow has a new blog! Check it out. Obviously, he is a friend of mine, we collaborated on TBYWYS! and now you can find out a whole lot more about him. Jeremy Barlow's Blog!

On his blog you can read another short story that he did with Ben Bates, A guy I have also mentioned here on my blog.

Here are a couple pages from that.

 

Find more of Ben Bates's stuff on his sight at bbates.com/wordpress He's the best thing to happen to Sonic The Hedgehog comics in ever.

I'm still working on issue 3 of Shield v2. Jesus, is this a hard issue. When you see it I think you'll know what I mean. We'll talk more about it then, provided I survive it.
