krishna — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:04:10 +0000

It’s now officially released for everyone to order just in time for Christmas!!!

The calendar includes the works of Danielle Corsetto, Lem Pew & Aric McKeown (from Blank It Comics), Jess Fink, Guy Hodge, Huw “Lem” Davies, Rasmus Pettersson, Rachel Dukes, Frank Page, David Wolfe, Michael Lalonde, James Norris, Jamie Smart and the cover by Krishna Sadasivam. (Couldn’t find links for Guy or James, maybe they can send ‘em to me?)

Speaking Event: The Bay Area Macintosh Users Group

krishna — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:00:52 +0000

I’ll be making a presentation to the Bay Area Macintosh Users Group tonight at 7PM at the Largo Cultural Center. If you’re in the Tampa Bay, Clearwater, or St. Petersburg area, I’d love to meet you.

I’ll be demonstrating how I put my comics together using my Mac. I’ll also have copies on hand of “Rebootus Maximus” if you want to save some shipping and pick one up from me. Word on the street is that I’m giving away a copy of “Rebootus Maximus” as a door prize!

It should be a fun night out. I hope to get a chance to interact with some local PCW fans!

P.S. New UNcubed today! Give it some love

SuperFogeys Page 1 Roughs

krishna — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:11:05 +0000

A few weeks ago, Brock Heasley approached me to draw a 3 page SuperFogeys: Origins story. The story was originally intended for David Reddick to illustrate, but Dave had to bow out due to a very busy schedule.

I was nervous and excited about the opportunity. Nervous because it had been a very long time since I attempted a page-based comic layout. Excited because, deep down, I’d been jonesing to draw some action sequence based comics.

Brock was a total pleasure to work with. He sent me a very tight script, but left it up to me to pick camera angles. I broke the script down into thumbnails and sent him the roughs to get feedback. The whole process was exciting and fun – especially because I could just draw and not have to worry about writing for a change.

Below are the roughs for page 1. You can click on ‘em to see the larger version.

As page 2 and page 3 get published on SuperFogeys, I’ll post the roughs for those pages online.

Enjoy!

Gifts from the Mighty Javier!

krishna — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 23:28:27 +0000

I come home from an exhausting day at work to a mystery package, sent over by none other than the Mighty Javier Hernandez, cartoonist, podcaster, and all around incredible guy!

Before opening the package, I was immediately greeted by a very cool Javier sketch on the envelope. Perhaps a prediction of things to come? We’ll see…

Anyway, inside the package were two super sweet comic books. MAN SWAMP and MANGA MUERTO. MANGA MUERTO is super thick – and MAN SWAMP harkens back to the days of comics magazines from the 70’s. Both look amazing, and I can’t wait to read ‘em both tonight.

Two good reads and a relaxing night. Thanks, Javier!

Unsung Roles… of a SysAdmin

krishna — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 04:00:00 +0000

Today’s comic is dedicated to sysadmin’s everywhere. Hope SysAdmin Day is a blast for you! Forward this comic to your fellow workers in case they didn’t get the memo.

I was a SysAdmin for about 3 years – I can definitely sympathize and empathize with what you have to put up with day in and day out. My hat’s off to you men and women who keep our computer networks going.

PCW Classic: SysAdmin Edition!

krishna — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 04:00:00 +0000

I’d like to welcome all the first-time visitors who are arriving from Ted Kekatos’ SysAdmin Appreciation Day website. I hope you find your stay enjoyable. While you’re here, take a peek at a few of the many IT-themed comics here on the site.

If you’re new, why not drop a post in the comments below and share your thoughts on what you think of the comics? I love getting feedback! Or better yet, pre-order my first book, PC Weenies: Rebootus Maximus, which ships in early September!

Two more oldies but goodies surface today, just in time for Friday’s SysAdmin Appreciation Day. Don’t forget to stop by on Thursday, for a brand new PC Weenies “SysAdmin Day” comic. You don’t wanna miss it!

Also, do me a favor and check out my other webcomic, UNcubed, which updates every Wednesday (today!). UNcubed is an autobio / journal comic that I’m creating for my daughter, so that she’ll have comics to read when she gets older.

Thanks for reading!

With great power comes big credit card bills… or so they say.

Do you think the speed of computers these days is more than enough for the average web surfer? Or are computers still hampered by their speed? Sound off in the comments below.

Book behind-the-scenes update

krishna — Thu, 07 May 2009 22:30:33 +0000

PC Weenies and UNcubed are on target to make their print debut in the next few months. I’m working on a 120 page trade paperback for PC Weenies, and a 24 page PC Weenies / UNcubed sampler comic.
The sampler comic will serve as a perfect introduction to someone who’s new to both strips. The trade paperback version of PCW will include additional goodies and behind-the-scenes stuff.

The sampler and trade paperback will both be available for sale on August 22 & 23rd at the MiniMegaCon convention in Orlando, FL. I’m still working out pricing details for the trade, but the floppy comic will run $5.00 + shipping (US and International). Update: The floppy comics and PCW Trade paperback will be available for sale on my website as well. Pre-orders will open in mid-June for signed copies for both editions.

The format of the book will include both covers in a flip-book format. You simply flip the comic over when you’re finished reading PCW to read UNcubed.

Anyway, I wanted to give you guys a peek at the covers for the floppy comic version (I updated the PCW cover based on feedback I received. The original design is here.)
