dorkboy comics – by damian willcox

hi everyone,

new comic! it’s scary some of the behaviour that has been considered acceptable in the past.
this is my first time using the watercolour paper i used in this comic – it was super rough, and my inklines became very dry brush looking.

a few new things!

New Books!
I have been working like CRAZY trying to get not one, but TWO new books done for the upcoming Calgary Expo convention. I am happy to report that it was a success!!
Both books are done, and will be available at the Calgary Expo, and are ALREADY AVAILABLE on Amazon.com, and European Amazons(UK, EU, etc)! I don’t have it on Amazon.ca yet, as it requires me to charge a higher price than i want to due to a long explanation I won’t get into, so may look at re-opening the “store” on this site to allow direct ordering of books, prints, etc from me where you can get things signed and so on.

Oh, the two books are the collected “Kernel Corn & Peater the Black Eyed Pea: Rotten Vegetables”…

…and a follow up collection of comics, paintings and junk to “well…this is awkward”, entitled “I’m actually much scarier in person”…probably quite fitting if you buy one in person at the Expo.

Both books are in the realm of 70 pages and FULL COLOUR!

I’m on the iBookstore now!
I have managed to get my “dorkboy: questionable characters” up onto the apple iBooks store for all of you e-reading types! I am hoping to get more books up in future, and also figure out how to update the format to work on iPhones/iPods as well as iPads (as it currently only works on ipads) so stay tuned!

I attempted to hold an iBook giveaway on Facebook where entrants would draw a pic of my dog Lychee, and soon discovered that I really don’t know what I am doing on Facebook – but even with that, the incredible Derek Mah pulled through with a winning entry of Dread Pirate Lychee!

I will be at the upcoming Calgary Expo April 26-28, at table 1124!!
Stop by and visit if you are in the neighbourhood! I will have my 2 new books, a bunch of new prints, my previous 2 books and a healthy load of jet lag as i return from a work trip the day before!!

Calgary Expo – booth 1124

April 27th, 2013

Who’s terrible at updating their site with important information in a timely manner? Yep it’s me.

I am at the Calgary Expo all weekend at booth 1124 – stop by and say hello!
I am exactly behind the giant orange ING tent. I am slightly less jetlagged today and should be slightly more coherent if all goes well

Seeya soon.

Your buddy,

March 10th, 2013

Hi folks,

There haven’t been any updates for a little bit as I have been overly swamped with real life duties, AND getting not one but TWO new books put together in time for the coming Calgary Expo (no, i’m not done yet…cross your fingers for me).

Speaking of Calgary Expo here is some info for you!

Important things to know about the upcoming Calgary Expo:

1. It is for 3 days at the end of April.

2. I will be there (sorry). (‘dorkboy comics’)

3. I am ~~hoping~~ GOING to have two new books:
(1) Kernel Corn & Peater the Black Eyed Pea collection

Here’s a sneak peak of part of the cover…..

(2) a followup to ‘well, this is awkward’ collecting sketches, paintings comics etc

4. I am planning on not sleeping. (See item #3)

5. I will make prints again, so if there are any specific drawings of mine you like and want in print form let me know and I will do my best to make them. They will be charming prints…or is that the other way around?

6. Bring a stick to poke me if I look sleepy/ am asleep.

7. This isn’t the zoo, DO feed the cartoonists.

8. I will try and update details again before the show, but back to posting drawings until then.

Looking forward to seeing all of you again!
