Spacepig Hamadeus

Back in December of 2009, I made hint in a blog post of a super secret project that I had in the works

Two years later, and things are finally starting to move!

Tonight, I'll be sitting in the Artist's Alley at the 2011 Central Canada Comic Con to promote my self-published creation, Spacepig Hamadeus.   Here's a preview of the first page!

This book, Spacepig Hamadeus and the Ambush at the Hourglass Sea serves as a prequel to next year’s full-length issue, Spacepig Hamadeus and the Captive Planet. Both of these issues are based on stories I covertly wrote in Mrs. Didyk's Grade 5 class, when I really should have been studying multiplication tables.  Back then, Hammy was known simply as "George the Pig", and went on several outer space adventures before ending his 12 issue run with a (highly unauthorized) Secret Wars II crossover in 1986.

A quarter of a century later, and I’ve revived the character for publication. Hopefully the art and writing have improved over the books I made in the 80's!

If you're attending the 2011 Central Canada Comic Con, please stop by my table and get yourself a copy!

If you're not attending, I'll post info here in the coming days as to how you can buy a copy for yourself!

Please visit the book's website, like it on Facebook, and follow it on Twitter!

I've done all of these things...


I've built websites.

I've made a living colouring comic books.

I've sang and played guitar into a microphone.

I've created video games.

I've designed two logos for major radio stations.

I've walked out of the house listening to music without burning it to CD first.

I've watched movies on a transit bus.

I've used apps that keep grocery lists, identify constellations, and track gas mileage.

I've reconnected with people from my past.

I've done all these things in my life, and I've done them all on products that came from the mind of Steve Jobs.

Rest in Peace.
