Once Upon A Sketch Interview

by mike on May 6, 2013 at 11:23 am

Had a fun time talking with the Once Upon A Sketch folks. You can listen to my rambling, unfocussed self HERE.

I honestly can’t remember much of what we talked about, but almost certain I talked a good length about the CiS/Scholastic deal. How it came about, what I have planned, etc. Probably said some stuff I shouldn’t have. That’s sorta my thing.

Speaking of which, I’m closing in to finishing my work on the first book. In fact, I’m hoping to have the whole thing colored by week’s end. This means I should have some more frequent updates as we move forward into this year. Just make sure to stay subscribed to this blog (or keep checking back) to keep up on all of the fun news, art and other things I plan on posting.

Final Chance for CiS Books

by mike on March 25, 2013 at 11:22 am

books

As I mentioned in my last post, I will cease selling my two self-published Cleo books in June. Originally, I said I would not be ordering any more, but I had to do one last small reprint to cover book 1 orders due to me forgetting to close down my store while out of town (and selling out of stock while at MegaCon). For those who ordered one while I was away, they are at the printer right now.

But that’s it! I won’t be printing any more. So I’ve started keeping a stock in the store so everyone is aware of how many I have left. Last week, I also started offering a limited number of my first-ever convention sketchbook, Operation Space Cat, online. Stock info for those is provided below as well. (stock updated 3-26-13)

Cleopatra in Space #1: 16 left in stock
Cleopatra in Space #2: 57 left in stock
Operation Space Cat, vol 1: 14 left in online stock

I also answered a bunch of your questions in the comment section of the other week’s post about the Scholastic deal. So if you asked one, make sure to check back! :)

Cleopatra in Space Joins Scholastic

by mike on March 14, 2013 at 10:28 am

Well, I can finally let the word out. Publishers Weekly broke the news:

In a two book deal with Scholastic/Graphix, [David] Saylor and editor Cassandra Pelham bought the first two books in Mike Maihack’s new middle-grade graphic novel series, Cleopatra in Space, starring a cheeky teenage Cleopatra—yes, the teenaged Egyptian Queen—who is transported into the future and enrolled in an academy to train her to save the galaxy from an evil threat. Publication for Book #1, Target Practice, is scheduled for 2014. [The deal was negotiated and finalized by Judy Hansen of the Hansen Literary Agency]

Pretty exciting! Even more so that Cleo is going to share a home with so many of my favorite books and authors. And my experience working with everyone at Scholastic has been absolutely wonderful. I really think you guys are going to like these books.

Now I know there’s going to be some questions concerning the webcomic so I’m going to do my best to answer the ones I’ve already gotten via Twitter, Facebook, what-have-you, and a few I made up. Any others just ask them in the comment section below and I’ll get to them as soon as I’m able.

About Cleopatra in Space’s Schedule

by mike on November 13, 2012 at 9:54 am

It’s been over a month since the last comic update, so I bet a lot of you are wondering what’s going on–and when is CiS coming back? Well, the short of it is I’ve simply lost time to work on this webcomic.

As some of you may know, I started working on a graphic novel a few months ago, and that pretty much takes up my Monday through Friday. Saturday is family day. And Sunday is just me and Oliver day. Any extra time I have in between all that is spent on various freelance or whatever else the wind blows (or sometimes gusts) my way. I used to have a lot of freedom during the week to juggle all my various jobs and a webcomic, but now with a whole new person living in the house that time just isn’t there anymore. And honestly, the last thing I feel like doing after drawing comics all day is draw more comics. Don’t get me wrong, I love drawing comics. But after spending five days stuck in a chair, going to the park with my son is slightly more inviting at the end of the week.

But here’s the thing, I don’t want to give up on this comic completely. I had an entire beginning, middle, and end planned for this story and I’m SO CLOSE to that end. So instead of trying to update weekly, missing those updates, and then you having to read this story in gaps, I’ve decided to simply work on the webcomic whenever I can. Once it’s all done, then I’ll start updating the comic again–either weekly, bi-weekly or maybe even every day. I have no idea how long that’s going to take, but am going to do my best to finish it. And hopefully, a few of you will still want to read it.

So that’s that. Sorry that it’s not the news a lot of you probably wanted to hear. Life is what it is and I’m just trying to enjoy every bit of it.

BCC 2012 Sketches

by mike on September 12, 2012 at 10:36 am

Thanks to everyone who stopped by at Baltimore Comic-Con last weekend! I had a great time and really enjoyed seeing so many familiar faces as well as meeting some wonderful new folks too. And great hanging out with all of of my pals as always. Wish a lot of you lived closer.

I didn’t do a lot of sketching at this show, but a few that I did are below. Except that last one of Concrete which I drew while waiting for my flight back to Tampa. Sorry about the bad images. They were all taken with my phone. Apparently the Baltimore Convention Center had some weird green lighting I wasn’t aware of.

Oh- and new Cleo pages start again on Monday!
