They're Heeere!!!! -- Rise of the Outlanders!

2008-06-11T22:34:00.002-04:00

Hey Everyone,

We debuted our second book Rise of the Outlanders at Wizard World Philadelphia and it was a huge success. Now for all of you not able to make it to Philly Con we have made it available for purchase on Paypal. Only $5.99 and a couple of bucks for shipping and handling and this beauty can be yours. Rise of the Outlanders takes place before, during and after a massive alien Invasion and told in six stories. You get the human point of view, the alien point of view, the Redneck point of view. And most importantly you get big 'splosions and out of this world storytelling.

Hi all,

Thought everyone would be chomping at the bit to see a few panels and pages of artwork from our new book Rise of the Outlanders.

Now some of these are fully inked but most are only pencils, so take a gander below! And remember to check us out in Philadelphia for Wizard World on May 30.

We have a table at the Convention, booth #1811!

Thank you and enjoy!

From Sleeper: Jeffrey Zacholl's pencils

From the Invasion story: Ori Ayalon's pencils and some final inks.

That's just a little taste of what's in store in the next couple of weeks so stay tuned!

Whose getting excited?!

2008-05-17T16:35:00.003-04:00

Only a couple weeks away from Philly Con! I am getting a tad bit excited here! How 'bout you guys? How about a show of hands?! I'm real excited to see the new book and find out what everyone thinks about it. Not sure yet what table number or where we will be located (aside from being in artist alley) but we will post that info when we get it. So step right up, don't be shy! Come see all the freaks who make up the Cave Drawing Ink traveling circus!

P.S. - Bring money!
