Turns out, I WILL be at SDCC this year. [Archaia Booth #2635]
If you’re going to be there, let me know what you’d like to see me bring to the con.
I’ll have THE GOD MACHINE 1st issue, prints, stickers, commissions, less then 10 ash cans left, etc- but let me know if there’s a special print you want, or something to that effect!
Hope to see you there!
ALSO! Thanks to all who voted for my book and I for the Eagle Awards. Sadly my book and I didn’t make it to nominations. Thems’ the breaks, as they say. But thanks to all who helped!
Well i’m coming close to finishing up the first graphic novel of THE GOD MACHINE! Wish me luck you guys!
Take care!

Please guys help me, the little guy, get an Eagle Award nomination for myself AND The God Machine!
The Eagle Awards are now accepting nominations for your favorite comic, artist, writer, etc. published during the 2009 year. If you liked the first issue of THE GOD MACHINE, and you thought I was somebody to mention as an newcomer artist, writer, artist/writer, Fully-Painted Artwork, etc, please nominate me, Chandra Free, The God Machine Preview Book (for favorite American Colour Comicbook), and my publisher Archaia for an Eagle Award.
I’d really appreciate this! It will help get THE GOD MACHINE more attention if it makes a nomination! [we'll worry about winning later] Tell your friends, blog it, tweet it, do anything to get the word out! Please! Any bit can help. :)
[*note you don't have to vote in every category to vote! and CHECK YOUR JUNK MAIL FILTER TO VERIFY!] Go forth and nominate ASAP!
And remember, this is just the nomination stage. This is not the actual voting for winning. And since I am a newcomer, and The God Machine is still the new kid on the block in terms of being published, we need ALL the help we can get! The God Machine and myself are barely known.–It’s you guys who will actually get it nominated, no one else. So I ask you, please, from the bottom of my heart, help me and The God Machine get seen!
Thank you, so much!
Now for some other news. ^_^

So this is a little delayed due to trying to get settled back in, and other not so fun things!
But thanks to all who came out and said “hi” at Wondercon! It was a wonderful experience, and i hope to return in the future. Also thanks to all my Archaia friends; creators, the big guys, and our lovable interns! You guys made it totally amazing! <3
The Archaia panel went rather well, lots of cool Archaia news took place, and I got to talk about the God Machine, and take some questions! I have no video of the event, but a little write up over at CBR exists! Certainly check that out for some great news on upcoming Archaia titles! Lots to look for in 2010!
While I was at Wondercon, I had the chance to do 2 video interviews! [and don't worry, i'm a complete dork in both of them!]
1st one: Cammy’s Comic Corner [be sure to stay around for Patrick McEvoy's :iconpatrickmcevoy: part of the interview too! You may find what he has to say.. interesting! ;)]

The Creatorium
-So please sign up. This is where i’ll be having my message board discussions for now. So if you have questions, insights, musings, whatevers about my comic and work, please feel free to talk about it in my section. And please do participate in the other discussions in the main boards, and say hello to your favorite Archaia creators. :)

Awakening Graphic Novel
So, the book is out – now what? Now, oh loyal readers, we need to keep the momentum going. Reviews and interviews are abound but now we need to show comic shops that there’s good reason for them to carry the book in their stores! Below is an open letter to comic retailers which I emailed out to all the shop contacts I could gather online. What we need YOU to do is repost this on blogs and message boards, Twitter a link, send up a smoke signal – get this info to your local shop to help them sell the book. That doesn’t mean you should go in and ask for ten copies of the book to be ordered, that’s not what this is about. This is about spreading the word about the book and giving retailers the ammunition they need to confidently recommend and sell the book to their customers.
Let’s do this thing! Zombie Noir for everybody! Tweet and repost pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaase!
Dragon*con, Atlanta GA. Sept. 4-7th 2009.
I will be at table #20 in Comics Artists Alley in the Hyatt Regency: Grand Hall East. I will be selling prints, mini comics, commissions, and I have goodies too.
Sunday in the Hyatt, rooms 223 & 226, at about 4 or 5pm, I will also be attending “Rusty’s Day Camp” [Venture Brothers themed] as a “camp counselor.” I may be doing something on “how to” -Event held by the good people at PRoV.
Also, fellow Archaia creator, David Petersen of Mouse Guard, will also be in attendance in the Comics Artists Alley!
Come out, say hello!!
