The Revenge Of Hallowzine

I'm So Tired Of Social Media
I really want to go back to just posting on my blog. It feels like such a safe space. I guess because no one looks at it. Well, anyway, I drew this dumb little comic. I've been having fun doodling these characters in animal costumes and I wanted to play around with a sort of slice of life story featuring these characters dressed up inexplicably. This is mostly just a test, but figured I'd post it here, so you can see my process. Enjoy!

No Pants Revolution 5!
No Pants Revolution 5 is here! In case you don't know, No Pants Revolution is my autobiographical, diary comic zine series. It started in 2014 when I tried my hand at drawing a daily comic and has evolved into a collage of comics, diary style writing and sketches from my sketchbooks. No Pants 5 is stacked. At 32 pages it's beefier than the last couple books and this one comes with a FULL COLOR STICKER SHEET! I'm super proud of the book and I can't wait for people to see it. You can get it at my online store right now!

Sticker Sale!
For now my store is closed, but that doesn't mean you can't get one of these sweet, sweet stickers. For the next few weeks I will be selling my stickers and shipping them out snail mail. Prices for the stickers are listed on the images below. If you are interested in purchasing one you can email me at apearson@ymail.com with the subject line "sticker sale"; let me know which stickers you want and don't forget to let me know your address. I am accepting payments through Venmo (Saturn2169) and Paypal (Saturn2169@yahoo.com). Because I am shipping them snail mail, in a plain envelope with a stamp, please allow extra time for shipping. US only, sorry.
B-b-b-b-Bonus!
I am also super excited to say that I was interviewed for an article in the Chicago Reader about zine culture during the quarantine. It's been a crazy few months and although it's been paralyzing and depressing in many ways, I have been fighting and trying to continue to stay healthy and create. The article highlights my efforts to sell zines online as well as dropping off zines in free little libraries around Chicago. The article even included a picture of me. The Chicago Reader is a paper that is super special to me. It's been a part of my life since childhood and it's one of the top ways I find out about different arts and cultural events around town. It was so special and emotional for me to be a part of it. You can read the article online here. Below is the image from the paper which included a picture of me next to a free little library in Rogers Park.

The Year is 2020
So, what else have I been up to? This past December I did my first ever comics reading courtesy of Meanwhile and Saturday Night Drink and Draw. I gave out and mailed over 100 copies of my 2019 Holiday Card (which due to some computer issues I don't have access to right now. That will be for another post soon, promise). Also, for the first time ever, I actually completed all 31 days of #inktober! I was inspired to do inktober illustrations based around the loose concept of fashion. Some of the drawings are of me in outfits inspired by characters, old photos or real life outfits I wear and a few are fan art drawings of characters wearing fun new outfits. Check them out!
Here they are all over the floor. This is fun right? |
If you can't make it out to any of the shows I'll be at, then considering grabbing some of my comics from my online store. New stuff coming soon. Link.
