THE WIZARD OF OZ!!!
howdy all!
well it's been a busy year and no doubt, and now it's all starting to come out! the new dare will be coming out through comixology this fall, along with the misfits' manual. there will also be the digital DC comic i did last year, and a "legends of the guard" short. and let's not forget the wizard of oz!
the 4th all-action classic boasts the same 130pp of fantastic art as the others, along with that certain ben caldwell je ne said quoi you all know and love.

danger's rangers
they were mentioned in dare detectives #1, but danger's rangers will be a big part of some later dare stories. here's a peek at their hardware, from the misfits' manual:
there's also a wee slingshot
fixing the last of the stupid spelling errors (it doesn't help when half the words are imaginary anyway)...

a kickstarting/misftitting note
hi all!
a quick response to many questions about ordering rewards from the kickstarter, even though the kickstarter is over:
1) i will have extra copies of the misfits manual to sell! however, i will only be selling them after all of the kickstarter orders have been sent out. it's only fair! i will be posting here, and on the dare website, when the book is generally available.
1b) as a courtesy to the kickstarter backers, i waived shipping costs. any later orders for the manual, like any sketchbook order, will have shipping costs added on (about $3 in the US) and paypal if applicable.
2) people have asked about additional reward options. at this time, i won't be offering tshirts, PDFs etc. beyond the ones ordered through kickstarter. since i was offering five $300 workshops, and only 2 were picked in the kickstarter, i'm up for doing the other 3, and 2 people have already asked to sign up, so that leaves one $300 workshop open for anyone who's interested. i won't have enough time in my schedule for any more beyond what i had originally planned.
that's all for now, more updates to come!

day 78 retro kula kola poster
always loved 60s illustrators like tom hall (the judge dee paperback covers, think i posted them here long ago) and robert mcguiness etc. not at all in that illustrative style, but the same sort of composition, i guess. anyway, it was fun!

fan art!
hi all!
actually did this on the plane home from SDCC.
this is fan art for the insane 80s manga "panzer karma". you might have seen the oddly bubblegum OAV they made of it, but this is lefty from the original manga. actually met the band "starfish" at SDCC, it was surreal to say the least. (they did the KP anime soundtrack, all j-pop fluff. they're like 100 years old now!)
anyway, it reminded me of how much KP influenced me, so in a post-con airplane daze i drew this up, just never got around to posting it.
cheers!
