Till next year, Heroes Con!

by mike on June 27, 2012 at 12:38 pm

Just wanted to give a quick thanks to everyone who stopped by my table at Heroes Con over the weekend! I had a fantastic time (as is par with the show) and was floored by the amount of people who follow Cleopatra in Space. I mean, it’s cool that people love my Batgirl & Supergirl or my Adventure Time art, but there’s a certain thrill about having someone excited about your own creation. One young girl said she had been waiting FOREVER for the second Cleo book (which, being a year between cons, is not far off). Kids are the best.

Anyhow, here’s a few sketches I did during the show. If yours isn’t here, it’s not because I didn’t like it. I just forgot to take a picture of it is all. Hope to see a bunch of you next year!

Heroes Con 2012

by mike on June 20, 2012 at 12:48 pm

Heroes Con is this weekend, June 22-24 in Charlotte, NC. I’ll be in Indie Island table AA-530, surrounded by friends, as indicated by this awesome map:

I’ll have Cleo books, a ton of new prints, an Oliver Prime (although he’s not for sale), and I’ll probably be doing some sketching as well. You’ll also have a chance to bid on this Batgirl/Supergirl piece I painted  for the Heroes Con annual art auction. That’s usually held Saturday night.

So yeah! Should be great time. Hope to see you there!

Interviews

by mike on June 14, 2012 at 11:45 am

If you woke up today thinking, “Boy, I sure would like to know more about that Mike Maihack guy.” Well, today is that day!

First up, I talked all about CLEOPATRA IN SPACE (its origin, influences, where it’s headed) over at NEWSARAMA.

And for those more interested in well… ME, I was interviewed by the designer of the card game I’ve been busy illustrating about my humble beginnings as an artist, why I seem to be drawn toward female characters, and all various sorts of other things. That’s over at the Goblins Drool, Faeries Rule Kickstarter site.

For those possibly interested in all of those things, I recommend reading BOTH those interviews! I think there’s some fun, new tidbits in each of them.

Fan Art by Amanda Dell’Aringa

Just received this adorable fan art from Amanda Dell’Aringa:

Make sure to check out her DeviantART gallery if you get a chance. At only 14, she’s already drawing circles around a lot of artists in there. Thanks so much, Amanda! I love it!

Chapter 3 Begins!

by mike on June 4, 2012 at 9:00 am

Finally, right? I’m so psyched to start updating this comic again. Chapter 3–the last chapter in this storyline–is easily my favorite. Hopefully you all will enjoy reading it as much as I am excited about telling it.

Besides the new CiS page, you probably also noticed everything around it looks completely different. In fact, you might not have even noticed the new page at all. It’s over to the right there in case you’re looking. Just click on the thumbnail to go the main comic portion of this newly designed site. Or click one of the various buttons below it to jump to the beginning of the other chapters (preferably chap 1 if you’re a BRAND brand new reader).

I hope you like the new change. It started out as a way of presenting next week’s double-sized page. But while I was at it I thought, “why not just redesign the whole darn site.” I think it’s better. Gives more breathing space around the comic pages, separates the blog content (which will be kinda important eventually), and allowed me to add more pink into the site. Lets’ face it, we were all thinking this site could use a little more pink.

Anyhow, let me know what ya think. Love it? Great! Hate it? Too bad, I don’t have time to change it back. But I still value all you all’s feedback.
