The Nandi Bear Tenants


So I spent this summer making this Comic / Graphic Novel. I'm not sure what the difference is. If it is length, then my comic is at least twice as long as a regular comic.. so it is probably a graphic novel.. I have been
calling it a book, because it makes me feel more swanky. Anyway, it was a lot of hard and completely fun and worthwhile work, and in the end I had a indiegogo campaign that funded me getting this thing printed like a beautiful thing.. anyway.. it's ready and done, and printed and available in various ways. (I am probably going to have it in the local comic shops in Calgary, Vancouver and somewhere on the island as well.. I will keep you updated on that.)

The story is pretty exciting, and here is the pitch that I got on the back cover:

Naiad Bear needs to gather all her friends for a mission to save not one but two planets from total destruction! When she inherits an old creepy haunted mansion from her long lost Aunt Nandi, she is given a message from the other side.. a message that the king of the Cat planet has gone totally insane and plans to wage an intergalactic war against Mars. Seriously, what has Mars ever done to him? And why is he being such a freak? Naiad along with her superhero friends Dorriss Doom, Stensor, and Pattee may be the only one who could possibly help to unravel this supernatural mystery! Meanwhile, the renegade
adventurer and hero for hire Veltrax the Wolvcha is busy saving Klor, the last giant amoeba in the universe from certain death! How does it all fit together? And who is behind all this diabolical terror?!

Sounds pretty good right? So good that you wanna read it right??!

Here's how.. you go over to amazon.com and just buy it.. it will come to your house, and then you can read it and love it and basically keep it as a family heirloom:

Alternately you can get a signed copy directly from me by buying it at the SC Entertainment store:

I made a record of old cowboy songs.

There isn't much more to say about it. I liked making it, it was fun.. and it's funny. I learned a lot about old time cowboys while making it, and I guess that's the point. I was inspired when I was hanging out at an old folks home a while back and there were a couple people there putting on a concert, singing old songs.. one of the songs they sang was comanche, and I got pretty excited. I was thinking about if and when me and people my age eventually end up in an old folks homes years and years from now.. will there be like 'Tuesday at 2:00 after lunch, industrial noise music with Grandpa Kolodychuk'... because just because you get old, it doesn't mean that you will change the type of music you like to listen to and make. Anyway, I like lots of things.. and this record was fun.
