One of the most interesting things about being a comic artist is that you are constantly being asked to draw ( or asking yourself to draw) things you never thought you'd ever have to create. I'm currently spending some time researching space stations - these things are definitely a challenge, I've yet to nail down a final design for the one I'm working on, it will probably be at least a week until I have something that I'm happy with.A.Shay Hahnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02111684497151056837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618840894484114696.post-30720055617478220262018-04-08T19:26:00.000-07:002018-04-08T19:26:25.402-07:00Long Term Projects Giant Sized Dracula<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am only happy if I'm working on several projects at once, I realized I had to move away from doing ongoing series or mini series and have begun two larger graphic novels and also will be publishing my other work digest style where I'll compile one 24-30 page story, a short, and commissioned pin ups. One of the longer books was inspired by Tom Scioli's American Barbarian and is about a Giant Dracula attacking a city. The book as it stands so far will be about 120 pages, all splash pages or double page spreads, it's going to be huge and here are some of the pages I've been working on over the weekendA.Shay Hahnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02111684497151056837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618840894484114696.post-51781214153520489162018-04-08T19:17:00.000-07:002018-04-08T19:17:22.621-07:00Kingston Comic Con and Sketchcovers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Was in Kingston for the day last Saturday as a guest of Kingston Comic Con, had a chance to do three sketchcovers at the show. Having sketchcovers of both Beaver Damn Issue One and Gladisaurs was a great suggestion by my friend Shane Kirshenblatt, they've been very successful, in fact page sales and sketchcovers paid for the entire run of Gladiasaurs and provided the funds to commission Peter Santa-Marie to do the cover for the Gladiasaurs reprint. Next show I'll be a guest at will be in Markham with Pop Culture Canada. The sketchcovers pictured at top are all available for $25 each (shipping included) to commission your own just send me an email at madcraftshoppe@live.com <br /><br />A.Shay Hahnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02111684497151056837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618840894484114696.post-54734490898931162792018-04-08T19:12:00.000-07:002018-04-08T19:12:10.755-07:00Beaver Damn at the Silver Snail and the Beguiling<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've got the books! If you like supernatural horror, body horror, movies like the Thing and television shows like Frontier this is definitely the book for you! Pictured here is the main cover by myself with colours by Cari Dee, the Pop Culture Canada variant cover by Argentinian comic artist Kundo Krunch and an add for you to get in contact with me if you want either the first or second issues. Very happy to have the book in my hands and ready to send out, cheers<br />

Some Pin Up highlights of 2017- Getting published with Eric Powell's Albatross Funnybooks is so cool, 'Namwolf by Fabian Rangel Jr. and Logan Faerber was a great mini series. I hope there's more coming, it was excellent to meet Fabian who I've followed on social media from the day I decided to start making comics, Logan and of course the Eric Powell at Heroes Con this year, what an event, that con is going to stay with me for a long time.<br />Spread by Justin Jordan and Kyle Strahn (and assorted) will be wrapping up soon, this book has always been a favourite so when Kyle put out the call I was ready.<br />
Getting some art in Matt Miner's GWAR comic was ridiculously cool and it was really cool of Matt Horak to print a piece in his book Octo Skull. I'll post the drawings in another entry, don't have them handy right nowA.Shay Hahnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02111684497151056837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618840894484114696.post-42231109956117257032018-02-21T06:58:00.000-08:002018-02-21T06:58:09.648-08:00Beaver Damn Issue OneBeaver Damn a supernatural horror mini series had it's official Issue One launch at London Comic Con. I had four covers created for the launch featured here is the main cover by Ivan Shavrin (middle photo) and one of the variants by Logan Faerber (bottom), I'll post the other covers later. There are also sketchcover editions (top photo) available you can get them all at the shop https://www.storenvy.com/stores/550950-the-mad-craft-shoppe . The series is set in Manitoba in 1823 during the height of the fur trade and is packed with some pretty original ideas if I may toot my own creative horn for a minute. Issue Two is almost finished and will debut with a special variant cover at Kingston Comic Con at the end of March. (more on that later)<br />

The first weekend of November my printer Alfonso Espinos opened a physical location for his print business, Studio Comix Press in Kitchener, Ontario. Gerhard and I were the featured comic guests and as always had a great time hanging out and swapping stories, he really is one of the coolest guys in comics, always happy to spend time with him and marvel at his draftsmanship.<br />
I was also honoured to be the featured local guest at London Comic Con and Gerhard and I also hung out at the Cambridge Comic Arts Festival<br />

Okay, this is the new cover by Peter Santa-Marie (@attackpeter on Instagram) for a book that I put together in SIXTEEN days. I was inspired by the creationist Ken Ham who posited the ridiculous notion that dinosaurs and gladiators used to fight in arena style combat about 3000 years ago. This is not true- if you're wondering, this is not history, this is the plot of a Jack Kirby comic and I treated it as such. Roel Torres is a writer that I worked with on the first volume of the Kayfabe wrestling anthology and he was able to put together a pretty solid script in about two hours. I took that script and went into the studio and immediately started drawing. The book has been a huge hit and the first print run sold out in a few months. There are also many, many cool sketchcovers that I did which pretty much paid for the entire print run. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The sequel "Bride of Gladiasaurs" is already in the works with a completed script by Miike Something (yes that's his name) and I promise you this story is as much fun as the first one. Gladiasaurs original cover (found a few copies in a box), Second printing cover and sketchcover edition can all be ordered at my shop https://www.storenvy.com/stores/550950-the-mad-craft-shoppe<br />

Top Image, upcoming cover for Sons of Yellowstone, Pin up for Aurora Man!, Amazing Forest #6 has a story in it that I drew (IDW publishing,cover by Ulises Farinas), this is my new banner which features the cover to American Bison that I drew and finally this is the cover to the Kayfabe wrestling anthology, available from Drive Thru comics online.) I have about seven other things to get up here over the next couple of months and then another seven after that when they're published but since I'm down to working about five hours a night it's tough for me to fit blogging into the schedule. So enjoy this post and as always follow me on Instagram @madcraftshay or on twitter @madcraftshoppe or on FB at "A.Shay Hahn The Homeless G-Men.<br />
cheers! talk soon,<br />

Pints and Pages is this weekend at the Cameron House, Saturday and Sunday from 3-7pm in the back room come have a beer and check out the work of some of the GTA's finest indie comic makers. As a special incentive I have created the BIG KAHUNA pack, Seven comics, three stickers, a print and a postcard for $30.00 I'll have them there both Saturday and Sunday. Also here's a link to the podcast interview I did with Jason Clark on an Elegant Weapon where we talk about comics, Toronto, the comic scene in Michigan and other things, it was great talking with Jason and I am thankful for his support of the event and his love of indie books,</div>

Alright check it out, production pics of Homeless #3, as soon as I finished the second issues I launched into Homeless #3, I wanted it to be printed and ready for purchase in November at the very special event I'm organizing at the Cameron House in November. I'll have more on that later, yes I am way behind in blogging, I've done two in stores and Hamilton Comic Con and next week I'm doing two days at the Humber Campuses for a mini-con put on by Stadium Comics and I am too burnt out to write or draw right now. I did over 128 finished comics pages (plus others to use later) in seven months with a newborn baby. I am spent and need a rest, I will be back to talk more but I really just need to flake out on the couch with my dog right now</div>

Hey everyone just a quick note to let you know the store has been updated and you can now purchase, individual copies of the second issues, comic three packs (that come with stickers and a cool full cast print) OR you can buy the Big Kahuna pack, which is six comics, four stickers and a print so you can get caught up on everything that's going on in the books.<br />
Here's a link to the store<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
If you click on the above photo you can see all the places that I'll be in the next two-three months, there will be more events and locations where I'll be drawing and signing comics.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, if you've read the books, I want to hear from you! </div>

Very happy to announce that new comics have arrived! Here's what you get when you order the three pack, Three comics, two stickers and a print - you can get this sent to you anywhere in Canada for $20.00. If you don't have the first issues you can get the Three pack again with two stickers and the print for the same price. If you'd like to order all six issues, you get four stickers and a print for $36.00. Just send me an email.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For US orders please check out the mad craft shoppe on storenvy and I'll get those listings up by tomorrow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This Saturday I'll be at the Comic Warehouse in Brampron from 10-6pm drawing and signing and I'll have comics there for purchase as well. I'll also be sitting on a barstool tomorrow at the Cameron House from 4-7pm and I'll have comics with me there as well.</div>

Got home from vacation to find an envelope from Print Ninja in the mailbox containing thes production copies of my books. They look incredible, I've come a long way since the first issues and it really shows, the colours are great, the lines are stronger - very happy with the progress I've made and did I mention these things are crazy entertaining! I cannot wait for you guys to be able to get to them. The books should be arriving mid September and I'll have a list of places in the GTA you can buy them. I also have a few store appearances coming up and I'll list those soon.</div>

Here's the evolution of the drawing for the cover of Homeless G-Men #3, it will be a full colour wraparound. The title text goes bottom right and the top left is reserved for reviews, blurbs etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm really happy with this and can't wait to get colouring.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The second issues of Homeless, Crypto and Battle are on a boat somewhere headed our way and will be available near the end of September. I'm plugging away at Homeless #3 for a November release and then there will be a break where I'll be working on Crypto and Battle #3 and a special SUPER SECRET project! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll also be doing a signing on September 26th ata BigB Comics in Niagara Falls come on out I'll be doing free head sketches and selling comics.</div>

Hey all, I've been away for a bit visiting family and swimming in lakes all over Ontario, all the while working on the books. Here's the news, the next issues of Crypto Zombic, the Homeless G-Men and Battle Rally will be out in September and if you order all six books (Hg 1&2, CZ 1&2 and BR 1&2) you will get a full colour print sent along with your order free of charge. The photo above is a little sneak peek of what will be coming your way! These books are fun, you're gonna love them.</div>

Here's a great review for the Homeless G-Men #1, this came at a great time (stop me if I've said this already) I've finished Homeless #2, I'm just going to do one more dialogue pass and then it's ready for proofing. I have a bunch of dialogue to add to Crypto #2 and a two pages that need colouring and I am still flatting and colouring Battle #2. I hope to have all three books ready for proofing by July 6th. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't think I'll ever work like this again, for the third issues I'm going to draw and colour the pages as I go instead of drawing all of the pages of the books and then colouring them. I want to do a fully finished page a day so then I can spend more time on dialogue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm saying this since I want to have Homeless #3 ready for a comic show in November and then have Crypto #3 and Battle #3 ready for April.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyways, here's a great review of the book and there's a link to my store to purchase.</div>

Here's a review from May for the Homeless G-Men #1 from a reviewer aptly named "G-Man" on Comics Anonymous, a lower rating when compared to how much he liked the book but it's a good summary just the same.</div>

Hey there everyone just wanted to let you know the progress of the second issues.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Homeless G-Men #2 is completely coloured and most of the words have been added, I'll just be tweaking the dialogue, checking my spelling and making sure all of the jokes are as funny as can be.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Crypto Zombic #2- I still have to colour four or five pages of the issue and add the dialogue. The front cover needs tweaking and the back cover at the point of writing does not exist.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Battle Rally #2 (see picture above) I have five more pages to draw and then it will be time to colour and add dialogue to the whole books, both covers are done (and they're awesome) and I have to write the intro page still.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In sum. I am in a great place to have all three books finished and ready for proofing by the first week of July then they're off to the printers. The usual turn around time is seven weeks (including shipping) so I should have all three books in early September available for purchase.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you want the books sent to you check me out here.</div>

This past weekend I headed up to Niagara Falls for my second big con, this was going to be different, this was the first time I would be away from my wife and daughter. I'd been invited to come along and share an exhibitors' booth with the guys from @blackholehuntersclub, @shaneamato and @rickylima, not only would we be sharing the table but crashing together for two nights in the gorgeous, "Niagara's Best Inn". I wasn't nervous about staying with the guys, Shane and I talk regularly on fb and I knew we were going to have a good time while we were there. I was also more confident with this con since I've gotten to know some other vendors and comic artists ( @NikZezos, @MikeRooth @KeithArana and Jason Loo creator of @ThePitifulHumanLizard) so there would be some friendly faces there as well.<br />
My approach to this con would be all about attitude, I wanted to be positive the whole time I was there, I was not going to let a lack of sales or interest get me down, I would pitch and pitch and make friends and sell some books.<br />
The first day of the Con was mostly about set up we had great vendors on either side of us Tony and his wife and kid Maxx were great to hang with and to the other side of us was a guy who was selling special variant covers of certain books and I was able to get a copy of Squarriors no.1 which I hadn't been able to get my hands on in Toronto. I also traded a copy of Homeless G-Men to they guys from Hypnotic Dog studios who do a book called "Insurance" and also get a copy (with a sketch for Lucky) of Dan Holst Soelberg's new book, "Shadow Abuse" - if you are a fan of Edward Gorey you have to check out this guy's stuff, it's fantastic, traded one of my sketch covers for this great "Odin's Ale" shirt by HeavyMentalDesigns (@KeithArana).<br />
<span class="photo " style="padding: 0px;"><img alt="Insaurance, Shadow Abuse and Squarriors" class="photo_img img" src="https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/s720x720/11209398_10205718359911114_2127065522005206402_n.jpg?oh=65e60aaace0cb1a77ce6851993c81d2a&oe=55F0E19F" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;" title="Insaurance, Shadow Abuse and Squarriors" /><span class="caption" style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 9px; line-height: 12px; padding: 2px 0px 0px;">Insaurance, Shadow Abuse and Squarriors</span></span><br />
The first day of the con was slow but I did sell a couple of comic packs and got commissioned for a sketch by a guy named Chris, who I had drawn before at GTA Comic Con, Chris is a really nice dude who gets artists at all the cons to draw pictures of him doing all kinds of crazy stuff (my drawing is on instagram @madcraftyshay). We went for Tacos and checked into our hotel, a real rat trap and like the title suggests - the sink was in the hallway. Didn't sleep well the first night, there was too much on my mind.<br />
SATURDAY - this is the long haul day 9.5 hours. the line up was massive and wrapped around the building which gave all the vendors some hope that Saturday was going to be huge for sales. I pitched and pitched, getting your pitch down to get people to stop and come hang with you is incredibly important you have to have it down pat, if you've got your pitch you can improvise and respond to whoever is looking at your books. I pitched and talked so much that I started to lose my voice - if that happened I'd be screwed. Sales were slow that day and it was discouraging, lots of looking and chatting but not a lot of money being spent. Remember, no one has heard of me or my comic - I have to convince folks that my book is worth buying. This time I added a free sticker to every purchase, it didn't seem to help much. The day ended and this was the night to go out. We headed over to @BigBComics to check out a cool display of Captain Canuck comics and older Canadian comic books, they were great hosts, then it was off to the Fallsview buffet with @ChrisYao, @KevinHickey and @KevinS.Boyd and Jason Loo to jam down as much food as possible since I'd gone the whole day eating almonds, granola bars and drinking vitamin C infused water. Food and drink at cons is expensive most vendors try to avoid buying any food. After dinner it was time to hit a bar and meet up with some other comic artists (if you're interested to know who was there pm me, this ain't about name dropping). I felt like an idiot after being introduced to these guys since my voice kept cracking and dropping out completely, I probably sounded like a prepubescent teenager. We also found out that a hooker had been killed in our hotel, we were not surprised.<br />
SUNDAY - SPEND THE MONEY DAY<br />
I always give out my comics to creators that I respect and this time I gave out books to Phil Hester, James O'Barr, Yannick Paquette and Rafael Alberquerque, I always hope to hear from any of them either for criticism or to maybe try and talk about getting a blurb for the back of one of my books. I sold a bunch of copies of "Crypto Zombic", people in Niagara Falls LOVE horror and violence. I put out my Jason vs. The Punisher print and had people vote on who would win the fight, it added an intereactive element to draw people in and then pitch my book. Sales were not great this day either but I did buy myself a couple of presents anyway.<br />
I bought these two awesome pages (from artists who live in the GTA, yeah travel to Niagara Falls to buy art from your neighbour) from Ken Lashley and Leonard Kirk, it was great talking to Lashley who has one of my books but hasn't read it yet. It was nice to be remembered, and I'm going to learn a ton from studying the work. I like buying pages more than I like buying comics.<br />

The con started to wind down, sales were not great for anyone really but I came out of this one, wearing this cool shirt<br />
<br />

I did my accounting at a great brew pub and knew that the money was not going to be good, I did pay for my table and my hotel room but all of the other costs, travel, cabs, food, beer, presents made it a loss for me. I wanted to make money at this con, but I learned more about attitude and sales that will help me at the next one.<br />
And of course I sold a comic to the guy sitting beside me at the bar.<br />
thanks for reading<br />
