P43 at FAN EXPO 2010

7:03 pm, by Eric Kim | Comments: 0

Hey all! I’ll be at P43 at Fan Expo this year. It’s against the wall with the rest of the guests. OR, down Tron and the Marvel alley! Drop on by and say hello. Pick up a copy of Shakespeare for $10, or a print for $20. Or inquire about commissions! It’s all good in my hood, baby.

Twenty-Sided Tuesdays:: Chapter 1-3

Panic. You check and double check the lock you set on your computer before you left to check the water cooler to make sure they are still engaged. Your eyes drift over to his now-empty office.

Sweat is beading on your forehead. Where did he go?

Wait. You don’t have to panic. You’ve finished your work. In fact, you’ve been trying to look busy reshuffling papers for the better part of an hour. You don’t need to panic. You think about drinking the water that’s in your hand; it might help to dilute the caffeine in your bloodstream.

As you look at Mr. Gros’ office, you catch a whiff of evil. You’ve placed the scent: it’s formaldehyde. What’s formaldehyde doing in the Xeplox offices, home of the Friendly Paper People?

There’s a large glass window that looks into Mr. Gros’ office. It’s as you’ve always remembered it: sad decor from the sixties that hasn’t been changed (due to the budget), terrible fluorescent lighting, and a drop ceiling that reminds you of doctors, dentists…and your boss.

You go into his office.

The door swings open easily.

Too easily, one might say. The door is made of solid oak. It should be heavier…the door felt weightless. And it can’t be the hinges…something about this place is just creeping you out.

Maybe it’s the interior of the office. It doesn’t seem to match what you saw through the window. The inside is dark and foreboding. It’s really humid in here. And…was that a bat that you heard screeching from the darkness?

Are those more screeches? Or are they echoes fading off into the distance..?

There’s a terrible feeling gnawing at you; a chill that seems to be reaching for your heart. All of your Monsterlogy-trained reflexes are screaming at you: This place is evil. And not just because you haven’t gotten that raise you put in for…

Commissions for Fan Expo 2010

6:03 pm, by Eric Kim | Comments: 0

Hey all! I had a pretty fun time doing commissions last time, so I thought it’d be great to do it again!

Once again, I’ll be at the Metro Convention Center for Fan Expo! And once again, I’m happy to do your commissions. Let’s see what you all have for me! I’m up for the challenge.

Here’s how it works: you can order a commission in advance from me and then pick them up at the show! The reason is twofold:

1. This gives me enough time to give you a quality piece of artwork for you to enjoy. From me to you, with a lot of effort in-between!

2. Enjoy the show without any worries! I want you to go meet the guests that don’t often come to our fair city. And this time, there’s a whoooole bunch….just go to Fan Expo’s Website for more info. Then swing by my table at any point during the show, and your piece will be ready for you.

Here are the rates for the work:
$80 for a full-figure piece (11″x17″)
$30 for a portrait (8″x10″)

All images are black and white only

If you’re interested, email me at EEK at INKSKRATCH dot COM, and I’ll get right on it. I’ll announce the cutoff date as we draw closer to it, but I hope you act early!

Uh…just in case I don’t see your comments, it’s because I’ve got my spam catcher on, and I really can’t tell what’s spam and what’s not. So if you don’t see your comments here on this blog immediately, it’s because I’m really, really new at this

Twenty-Sided Tuesdays:: Chapter 1-2 (Supplemental)

12:00 pm, by Eric Kim | Comments: 1

Hey all! Just letting you know that I’ll revisit the update I did last week for this, this week. I guess if it’s not working out, I’ll just let it go and have something else fill in this slot.

On the other hand, if you didn’t see it, here’s last week’s post this week. Ciao!

Offer to go for a Tim Horton’s run; Look at boss.

Mr. Gros is not a hot male. Rather, he is a large, balding man that has the countenance of a vulture. A big, fat vulture. His eyes miss nothing, especially employees that are just lazing about. Your offer to go for a Tim Horton’s run dies in your throat.

You fill out tedious paperwork while checking the cooler for traps.

This is a little more difficult than it sounds. Your boss, Mr. Gros, is a hawk. His dark, beady eyes track your every movement. Even he slips up every once in a while…and when he does, that’s when you make your move towards the cooler.

The cooler is your ordinary run-of-the-mill cooler. The hot side’s hot, the cold side’s cold. There don’t seem to be any traps that you can see…but there does appear to be a dark stain in the catch-basin. If you were a little more paranoid, you might be inclined to think that it was blood.

You’ve taken too long at the cooler. You rush back towards your desk, and take a quick glance up.

Mr. Gros is gone.
