I’ll be at San Diego one week from today. I’m exhibiting at booth #2235 with a couple of friends: Kazu Kibuishi and Raina Telgemeier. The three of us all had books come out from Scholastic’s Graphix imprint this year so it’s nice that we’ll be sitting together.
If you haven’t bought Missile Mouse: The Star Crusher now is your chance to pick up a signed copy. I’ll have a bunch at the booth, so stop on by.
Also, a special treat for comic-con goers, I went back to the printer and made a second printing of Inktober 2009. If you missed getting the Inktober book last year this is your second chance. To distinguish them from the limited edition run I did in November they have “Second Printing” printed in place of the “___ of 100″ seen in the first run.


Wow! Thank you for the amazing response and warm birthday wishes! I’m in awe of the varied backgrounds and locations yet the unifying love of art each of you have. And I’m happy that I can be a little part of your day sometimes. You guys are the best.
It was a great birthday, complete with bratwurst, apple pie, homemade ice cream, friends, and family. 33 is going to be a good year. I can tell you that.
Well, we have ourselves a randomly picked winner too:
You just won yourself an original Skullmobile Ink Drawing! You’ve been contacted at the email address you left me. If you didn’t get it, email me with your correct address and we can figure out where to ship this thing.
Alright, time to get back to work.
Two items of business tonight folks. First and foremost:
Podcast Ep. 119: JAKE PARKER and Missile Mouse: The Star Crusher
The fine folks over at Sidebar Nation (Dwight and Swain) recently interviewed/chatted with me over the phone and put it up on their site. I tweeted about this and neglected to post it here forgetting that not everyone reads my tweets and not everyone follows my blog. There’s some overlap, but mostly it’s two different groups of people…I think.
Anyway, I had a lot of fun with these guys. We cover a lot of stuff, including: How I combat laziness, the ins and outs of getting the Missile Mouse book deal, and where the handle Agent44 came from. Click here to listen to the show.
And secondly, SPACECAVE. It’s my tumblr site and I’m making it my deep space storage unit for scraps found on Earth. Artists are insatiable and need a good supply of inspiration to keep them going. I come across a lot of cool stuff through out the day, either stumbled upon by myself or sent to me by others. SPACECAVE is my repository for all of this and my way of passing it on to you. Whether it’s music, art, photography, film, animation, architecture, automobiles, or graphic design, if it’s good and it inspires I’m posting it.
I know I already have outlets in Delicious, Google Shared Items, Flickr, Dropular, Twitter, Vimeo, Facebook, and Youtube. And that’s the point. There’s too many of them. Tumblr consolidates these into one.
I’m still trying to make heads or tails of all this social media stuff so bear with me. Let me break it down easy like so I can understand it too.
AGENT44.com – The gallery.
AGENT44 BLOG – The studio.
SPACECAVE – The den.
Makes sense to me. Okay, back to work. Need to finish inking page 115.

Wow. What a tremendous response everyone. Thank you so much for the feedback on the website. And thanks to everyone who follow on twitter and facebook. 2010 is going to be a spectacular year. I can feel it. All right, let’s get down to it shall we? The winner of the MISSILE MOUSE 2009 GIVEAWAY is…
Congratulations Will. I’ve emailed you at the address you provided. If you didn’t get it, please contact me with a correct email address.
Now on to your comments. Inktober was by far the thing everyone liked the most last year, and was the most requested for this year. I’ll take that as a mandate. So, be looking forward to a happy Inktober next fall.
Coming in second was more Missile Mouse and more technique/process stuff. Very cool. I’ll definitely be addressing those this year.
As for everything else: More videos, vehicles, landscapes, Blue Sky work, robots, dinosaurs, kid collaborations, spaceships, dreams, sketches, pencil work, Lucy Nova, and otters. Looks like I have my work cut out for me this year. Thanks again everyone!
