I feel so behind on Echo Effect lately, despite working on it everyday. It's my goal to always be three months ahead, but that's not the case right now. The 36+ strips I usually have on the backburner have since dwindled to 29. I'm trying really hard to catch up, though, so keep your fingers crossed that I'm able to pull this off!

Back in 1999, my love for Archie Comics and horror collided with the creation of Archie’s Weird Mysteries. Now, in 2013, those loves are going to collide again, this time with the creation of Afterlife With Archie. This is how Nerdist describes the upcoming comic series:

After Reggie runs over his beloved pet pup Hotdog, Jughead convinces local teenage witch Sabrina to cast a spell to bring him back from beyond the grave. As we all know, all dogs don’t go to heaven, and when Hotdog bites Jughead, he passes on an otherworldly hunger for human flesh.

Yep, the Archie gang will soon be dealing with the zombie apocalypse! For more than a single issue! I don’t know about the rest of you, but the first issue of this series can’t come soon enough for me…

So, naturally, my Echo Effect characters want to celebrate. Well, Nicholas does, at least...

Since next week is my birthday, I'm trying really hard to finish a birthday-themed gag strip involving these characters. Keep an eye out for it on Monday, if I'm able to finish it in time! I'm hopeful I will, since I'm already in the middle of coloring it in Photoshop...

Because May is my birthday month, I’m celebrating by discounting my art commissions by 50%! Only the comics with 9+ panels are full-price still, since those prices are already negotiable. For those of you who might be interested in purchasing some original art from me, here are what the prices currently look like:

  • Digital Image: $7.50

  • Digital Comic Strip (2-4 Panels): $15

  • Digital Comic Strip (5-8 Panels): $22.50

  • Digital Comic Strip (9+ Panels): Negotiable; $60 minimum

This discount will be going away once May ends, so take advantage of it while you can!

To learn more about my art commissions, click here. You can also click here to check out past commissions I’ve done, or here to browse my art in general.

You're all very well aware of how big of a fan I am of Archie Comics, right? Then it should come as no surprise to any of you that I recently read Betty and Veronica #265 and loved it. There are five reasons why the rest of you should read it, too:

1) The entire issue is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast.

2) The variant cover by Renae De Liz looks like this:

BV265

3) Veronica is a witch with plans I can’t help but support 110%...

4) A beast with a bowtie is somehow supposed to be menacing.

5) SASSY BETTY.

Why are you guys still reading this post?! Run off and buy this issue already!

Did you know strip #35 originally started off as a gag piece for the gallery? ‘Cause it did. I had to make it canon in the webcomic for the sake of a future strip. You guys will see why in…um, a year or two, maybe? *flails*

Speaking of reusing things from the gallery, I actually made this picture solely so I could include it in strip #36. I just didn’t tell you guys when I first shared it ‘cause I’m very much a sneaky artist ninja that way! (Makes you wonder what else from the gallery might end up in the webcomic, huh?!)

Also, guess what? Anyone who votes for Echo Effect right now will get to see a preview of next Wednesday’s comic strip! Click here to check it out!

Need a laugh? Well, you’re in luck, ‘cause I just discovered the most ridiculous thing ever. And by ridiculous, I mean awesome. (Or maybe just awesomely ridiculous…)

That thing is Gizoogle.

Basically, it’s a parody of Google that translates webpages into gangsta slang. (Seriously.) As you’ve probably guessed by now, I’ve spent way too much time looking up different sites on Gizoogle, all so I can die laughing at the “translations.”

Naturally, I couldn’t resist looking up my webcomic Echo Effect, too. This is how Gizoogle translates the cast page. (Here’s the original page, for anyone who wants to compare.) Call me crazy, but I’m now a little too in love with the idea of Nicholas being called a “ghettofab pretty pimp”…

It's weird to me how only the first 33 strips are posted so far, since I'm already drawing #80!

Also, guess what? Anyone who votes for Echo Effect right now will get to see a preview of Monday's comic strip! Click here to check it out! :)
