Hey guys! 

My friend @alieiu and I have started an OP Headcanon and Imagines blog! And if you're interested and/or would like to support us, please do drop in an ask or a follow If you like our work [ which is kind of nonexistent atm but sH WE'LL GET THERE. I PROMISE] 

[  @floofs-headcanons​ <-- finger guns ]

We'd really appreciate if you could possibly take a moment to spread this around as well! It would mean the world to us because we've been procrastinating on this idea since August- dang it. 

Two Events in May -- Toronto and Portland!

I will be at Toronto Comic Arts Festival on May 13th + 14th. I’ll have OP volumes, copies of the B9 art book, minicomics, and some original art. As usual I’ll be upstairs in the webcomics area with TopatoCo.

I’ll be on a panel during TCAF as well: Creating While Depressed - May 13th at 1:30 - 2:30 PM Location: Marriot High Park How do you get the energy to make comics when you don't have the energy to get out of bed? Even when you're blue, you still have to do the work so you can pay the bills. How do you cope? Panelists: Meredith Gran, Shivana Sookdeo, Tara Ogaick, Meredith Park Moderator: Glen Downey

On Friday, May 26th, I’m doing a signing at Books With Pictures in Portland, OR. 7-9pm. Free and open to everyone! I don’t make it out to PDX events much anymore; I hope to see you if you’re in town!

NYC area people! Are you going to be at MoCCA this weekend?

MoCCA Arts Fest 2017 Saturday + Sunday, April 1-2, 11-6 @ Metropolitan West 639 W. 46th Street (between 11th + 12th Ave)

I will be exhibiting at Table J 278B. I’ll have Octopus Pie Image books, copies of my B9 Kingdom sketchbook, copies of the print/Gumroad-exclusive “On the Straight and Narrows” mini, and some original art as well! 

Love Octopus Pie? Support It On Patreon!

Is Octopus Pie a fun, exciting, feeling-inducing part of your week? Do you think the jump to color has greatly enhanced your reading experience? If so, please consider pledging a small amount of money each month to keep it updating smoothly!

Octopus Pie is a reader-supported series. The funding to draw and write the comic full-time, and to pay a colorist and flatter, comes from YOU! That means if you support the comic on Patreon, you are contributing directly to its production.

I don't campaign for Patreon very often. I'm not concerned with generating an incrementally larger amount of money from Octopus Pie -- I just want enough to get it made. But since funds have dwindled over the course of a year, and the cost of living has certainly not fallen, I'm asking that you help get things back to where they were. I'd like to reach a goal of $2300 - it'll be easy with your help.

Even a small amount goes a long way. And if you've never pledged before, a $5+ pledge gets you access to an exclusive OP minicomic, "On the Strait and Narrows", as well as 3 out-of-print eBooks from OP's original book run. You'll also get access to an archive of sketches and pencil drawings for any pledge amount over $1.

This weekend I will be in Seattle for the show, and I hope to see you there! Here is all the info.

~*Artist Alley*~

I will be exhibiting from Friday-Sunday, April 8-10, at Artist Alley table R2A, along with Mike Holmes. I’ll have the two new OP books, prints, original art, minicomics, as well as some Marceline trades & hardcovers. Mike and I will both be taking a small number of commissions at the show as well.

I won’t be at the show Thursday, unfortunately! If you look for me then, you will see air.

~*Panels*~

Sloane Leong has graciously invited me to be on 2 panels, which sound like they’ll be a real blast:

Shaping Space and Time in Comics (Sunday, April 10th, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM)

Brandon Graham, David Brothers, Morgan Jeske, Farel Dalrymple and Sloane Leong (and ME!!) talk about manipulating narrative time and space on the page through paneling styles, drawing styles, narration, staging and pacing.

Exploring Alternative Story Structure (Friday, April 8th, 2016, 5:15 - 6:15 PM)

Brandon Graham, David Brothers, Morgan Jeske and Sloane Leong (and ME!!) discuss alternative story structure, story theory, the legacy of Western storytelling, and how to expand beyond it.

~*Signings*~

In addition to regular signing at my own booth, you can also catch me at the Image booth:

As my followers may have already noticed, I recently changed the theme of my blog. If you didn't, please give it a look. It looks much better now, and most importantly, it's much more organized! ^^

Furthermore, I also change its URL, which now is http://majoraop.tumblr.com/.
