The Path: Breast Cancer Awareness Prints

Well, as some of you may or may not know, my Aunt Diana has been battling breast cancer. So far, so good, but chemo just started and all of those medical bills are starting to pile up. Being 3,000 miles away, and pretty poor, there’s very little that I can do to help. Except, y’know, draw. That’s where these come in. I’m selling these as  high-gloss prints for $5, with every cent raised going to help my aunt pay for her ever-increasing medical bills. Shipping is $2 (the cheapest I could do and still have them show up in one, uncrumpled piece).

I know a few sales of a $5 may not amount to much, but growing up, she was always more of a big sister to me than an aunt, so this is really important to me and any help would be greatly appreciated! Go to the Old Dying Kitty blog at:  http://mrriot.blogspot.com for the ordering info and all that jazz.

Where to start?

So…hey, gang. I know, I know, I’ve been an absentee member lately, and I apologize.  I’ve got a good excuse, though: I’ve been crazy busy.

A few weeks ago, I signed The Path with Matt Jacob’s company, Outland Entertainment. Most of you will remember Matt from our first Wizard World Texas. He’s always been a good friend of MM, and even bought us the domain name in the first place before Zac got it from him.

So, what’s in store for The Path? I whole freaking LOT.

  • The collected edition (issues 1-4 and the short story “The Cutty Black Sow” and featuring a forward by Kevin Hayman) has been sent to print. Arcana comics has gotten in touch with Matt, saying they want to help distribute The Path!
  • “Strange Tales of The Path” collected edition, compiling “The Path” stories done by other creators! Featuring a story by MM’s own Barry Linck!
  • Mobile-only downloadable stories are coming for your smart-phone/iPhone/Blackberry/whatever. I’m working on the 1st one as I type.
  • The Path: The Video Game is in development, coming 2010! Seriously. With the ability to be ported to web, iPhone/iPod, and XBox 360!
  • Contactually-obligated updates! The Path won’t ever have a hiatus ever again! God help us all…
  • More swag and merch on the way!

That’s just what’s coming in the next year. Needless to say, I’ve been busy as hell getting stuff ready, doing pages, writing stories, and getting artwork done. Which is a lot easier, now that I don’t have to worry about the day-to-day business end of things like I used to.

But what does this mean for Mediocre Militia? It means I’m getting to a place where I can really help promote the group more and hopefully get some of you guys some more paying freelance gigs (we all need extra $ these days)!

ALSO, don’t forget that Carly, myself, Wingnut and Zac will be at Long Beach Comic Con in the artist alley! October 2-4, at the Long beach Convention Center! Then, the following weekend I’ll be at Baltimore Comic Con!

That’s about it for now. I gotta get more work done before I leave for work.

Long Beach Comic Con

We’re doing it. Like hyper bunnies eating Viagra-frosted corn flakes, we’re doing that con.

Long Beach Comic Con is October 2-4, 2009 at the Long Beach Convention Center.

Myself, Zac, Joey, and Carly will be there doing sketches, selling swag, and generally being loud and obnoxious.

The Path table and the Mediocre Militia table will be right next to eachother…just like the good old days.

Zac and Joey, if you need to ship stuff to my place, let me know. That way you can save the $50/bag crap on the airlines.

So…if you’re going to be in the Long Beach area that weekend, come by! We’re desperate for your attention!

You know you’re gonna want one.

Here’s the “the Path” shirt that I’ll have at WWPhilly. Maybe it’ll actually sell. Stranger things have happened.

Eh.

I haven’t really been all that active over here lately, so here’s a drawing of the cast of The Path dressed up as the cast of Hellboy.

I like Barry’s art-exchange idea. Who’s up for one?

Oh, and The Path updated today.

Sorry Guys…

…but I need to brag about this somewhere.

There’s going to be a Wizard World Exclusive “The Path” comic entitled “Edward’s Tale” which basically gives a lot of background into the world of The Path and shows Edward trying to rally some troops to Chance’s side for the coming battle with Nyarlathotep! The appropriate people AT Wizard Entertainment and I have already spoken about it, so it’s a done deal! It’ll probably be at WWLA or WWChicago just so it stays timely.

ALSO: Guess who got asked to do a pin-up for the Applegeeks book?

Oh, that would be ME.

In other Mediocre Militia-relevant news, our very own Barry Linck is getting INTERVIEWED on Sunday, Dec 7th at 10pm! I need to get which time zone that 10pm is in, but we can all click HERE to listen in!

So, if you’re planning on being anywhere near your computer Sunday night, make sure to listen to the interview and support our fellow Militia Man! Seriously! DOO EEET!

HAPPY CTHURKEY DAY!

Happy Thanksgiving, my Mediocre brothers and sister in arms!
Hopefully, next year Zac and Joey will be making the trip to my place for their Turkey Day meal. That’s what me and the little lady are hoping for, anyways.

Oh, Barry, we can kick ourselves together, because I just set up shop over at Smackjeeves, too. I figured the more exposure, the better. I’m also waiting for my ComicGenesis account to finally get set up, too. I’m turning into just as big a whore as you are!

Anyways, have a safe and happy one gang!

So…about a year or so ago, Barry Linck (Phineus: Magician for Hire) and Kevin Hayman (The Errant Apprentice) gave me the go ahead to muck about with their flagship characters and do a crossover with them and Chance from my comic, The Path. I was thrilled, as I am a huge fan of both their comics, and immediately penned a story. Then started working on pages. Then, because I’m me, life got in the way. Despite good intentions and excitement over the project, it fell by the wayside.

Well, now that I’m behind on The Path and playing some hardcore catch-up, this project started rearing it’s ugly head again in the back of my mind and won’t leave me alone.

Assuming that Barry and Kevin’s blessings remain, this crossover will return anew with the New Year. Because, quite frankly, few characters belong together more than a wizard, a modern-day knight, and the reincarnation of a certain once and future king.

Here is the cover mock-up I colored for practice tonight (someone discovered vector brushes…) in an insane bout of insomnia whilst my girlfriend slumbered peacefully.

I’m especially happy with Phineus in the back there for some reason.

And that’s that.

The Path Sketch Dump

So, after the Bendis wall of text left last time, I thought I’d balance it out with a sketch dump. Most of these will be in The Path sketchbook that I’ve been talked into doing.











And that’s that.
