@arcaneimages and I launched a comic at Image Expo: Winnebago Graveyard. Written by Steve, drawn by me, colored by the incredible Stephane Paitreau and lettered by Clem Robins, this is the story of a family on holiday who get stuck in a town full of Satanists.

It’s about 70% Americana (a bit like True Blood) and about 30% ripping off of heads. You can read about it here:

I made some temporary tattoos, which i have few sets (see above) left of, contact me if you want one. Satanism FTW.

It’s also super fun to draw, better get on with that.

Will add sequentials as and when on my new website.

I’ll be doing all four days of ECCC this year and have a table at J13. I’m on the same aisle as Raina Telgemeier and just a couple of tables across and along from Noelle Stevenson. I’ll have a big red, blue and black banner I can’t show you as it will have an image from the image book I’ll have just announced on it, and which I’m not supposed to talk about yet. But there’s a triangle, that’s a clue.

There are also have some pretty temporary tattoos connected with that thing, for $5 a sheet, which includes the sword on the image above. So there will be many pretty things for sale, including some prints connected with the above mentioned image book. If its not too busy I’m happy to do portfolio reviews too, and looking and chatting is always free. As ever, there’s free badges for under 10s, too. it will be nice to meet people.

If I’m not at my table, I’ll either be around the floor (I have a blue streak in the front of my hair is another clue), or in a meeting or here:

here’s my eccc timetable. I may be a way from my table for a little while- to see the show floor, or coming and going, but if you see a woman wearing a huge heart shaped purple ice cream cat necklace, that may be me, feel free to say hello.

[alisonsampsonart]

I’ll be a guest at Image Expo 2016. Excited, honored and- excited. Making a comic is a lot of work and that top line is really quite something else. Only at Image.

If you know me and are going to be there, let me know so I can make sure I find you.

[alisonsampson]

ahhhhh tomorrow....

I’m taking part in this event at the Cleveland Museum of Art on April 01. It is free and open to the public, and the paper I’m giving is Architecture for Storytelling. If you are in the area, please come along, it will be great to see/ meet you. It is an incredible honor to be asked to be part of this (I think) unprecedented event, and also very exciting to see what the architecture students have been doing/ where this architecture-reaches-out-to-comics conversation goes.

Booking is with the museum. Livestream is at EST, I’m at 1.30pm, Chris Ware is later, it all looks pretty good.

[alisonsampson]

this looks awesome, tbh

Here is the full cover for our Pretty Deadly #7 out in December!

[youcantfuckosmosisjones]

you cant fuck the horse from whats opera doc. though it may be a masterpiece of character design, this horse is fake, created, untrue, not real, a lie, and a also a horse, and thus getting fucked by absolutely no one. not by you and not by God. this post was essentially just an excuse to post a picture of that horse, truly the sole good content in an otherwise hateful and fake species of animal invented by cartoons to fuck with us the unsuspecting viewing public (any arguments contrary to this will not be heard)
