THESE ARE NOT MY HANDS

A Fantagraphics Books staffer checks out the interiors of LUCKY IN LOVE, VOLUME ONE.

Finally, the LUCKY IN LOVE promotional short

Hopefully, this'll come across as beautifully over the internet as it was crafted. Directed by MIGUEL MARTINEZ-JOFFRE, with color stylization by CARLY MONARDO, this is our promotional film for the graphic novel co-created by GEORGE CHIEFFET and myself, LUCKY IN LOVE, VOLUME ONE: A POOR MAN'S BIOGRAPHY. The book is due out soon in early September from Fantagraphics, and I think it's pretty good.
Enjoy the cartoon, friends!

IF I FIND OUT YOU WENT TO SAN DIEGO AND DIDN'T COME VISIT ME AT THE FANTAGRAPHICS BOOTH, I'LL SOCK YOU IN THE MUSH

That being said, I do hope you'll come out to Comic Con and celebrate the near release of the graphic novel I created (with my friend GEORGE CHIEFFET) at the Fantagraphics booth. Publisher Kim Thompson assures me that there will be copies of our book, LUCKY IN LOVE, BOOK ONE: A POOR MAN'S BIOGRAPHY available , and I'd love to get your initial reaction to it. I'll even do a teeny Post-it note sketch for you, if you ask me nicely.
Here's a link to the Fantagraphics Booth schedule:

Looking forward to seeing you there. I'm including a little sneak peak image for you below, of a color study ace artist CARLY MONARDO did for my LUCKY promotional film (which I designed and the brilliant MIGUEL MARTINEZ-JOFFRE directed and animated). Carly and Miguel are two VENTURE BROTHER stalwarts, and the film is completed and quite brilliant. I hope to announce its appearance on the web sometime soon!
