b-one #9 - NOW AVAILABLE!

 

It's that time again! We just released b-one #9. As the promo image states, the issue is only available now on the KBP store here.

This issue features longer, more satisfying Stonebrook stories, a comical return of a secondary series, and a one time horror story that is quite a departure from my usual fare. This one is not for kids.

Enjoy.  

Thank you,

Dec 2008 - Dec 2014 or "I ain't special".

Sometimes you think that you'll never get started but then look back at what you've accomplished.  I can't encapsulate in a short blog post exactly how much time I wasted before starting b-one.  My work was never good enough to even TRY to make a comic. So I did what most of us do, I waited, procrastinated, delayed attempting to start the venture for years. YEARS. All because "I wasn't good enough yet". Well, no shit. There's no way to improve at anything by avoiding the task that you wish to be better at. You have to work. WORK. It's always going to be work. Nothing will be handed to you. You'll find your work cringe worthy at first. Keep working. Over time you'll learn what works, what doesn't and the one constant is the work. The process. Soon you'll find that you aren't so ashamed of your work. You may even feel a little bit of pride. Either way, looking back at the past seven years and seeing b-one become a reality is really satisfying. Am I proud? Nah, but I do have a sense of accomplishment. You can do it too. It'll be work, but you can do it. Just stop daydreaming about that great American Novel, that concept album, t-shirt line, or comic book and start working. It's that first step of a marathon, or first brick in the wall that people talk about. DO NOT WAIT TEN YEARS. I DID. Take that first step. Get some work done. We can't wait to see what you come up with.

Oh, yeah. Those of you that have been holding out for b-one #8 print edition, the wait is almost over. Sending them over to distro this week.

Sincerely,

Bobgar "Shut up and get to work" Ornelas

b-one #8 - process

 

Hello all. Just a quick little post here. Some of you may already know that I've struggled a bit with the writing aspect of the next issue of b-one. Some of the delays are King Bone Press publishing duty related, that and artwork on Bandthology III and Bullet Proof Chicken: Nuggets so I can't say that it hasn't been a fun ride. In any case I'm back and working diligently on b-one #8. Here's a bit of process, progress on the first Stonebrook story of the issue.

Please enjoy responsibly,

Bobgar Ornelas

Artwork Before and After: Bandthology III Edition

 

As many of you already know King Bone Press's third installment of our music focus anthology Bandthology was released on Comixology this week. Those that do not own the print copy may not have noticed the small cover alterations that were made to the cover.  Comixology suggested that we remove some images from the cover and interior.  Luckily I was the artist that drew the cover to this particular issue so as co-publisher it was actually an easy fix. We did not have to contact anyone and I had all the files handy.

Here's a before and after shot of the cover.  As you can see a t-shirt and a poster have been altered.

All three volumes of Bandthology are available digitally via Comixology here.

Volumes 2 and 3 of Bandthology are available in print from King Bone Press here.

Volume 1 of Bandthology is currently out of print and it's all because of good people like you that supported us.

Here's our output to date, it's been a crazy few years. It's shocking to me that something that I did in my spare time has continued to grow. With Jon Westhoff taking charge and getting the 11 O'clock Comics Anthologies going and bringing in new people to work with in projects such as Bandthology, there's no way we're stopping anytime soon! Jon wrangles in the talent for our anthologies while I get to focus on b-one. We're a good team.

We have a TON of stuff planned, you ain't seen nothin' yet!

Plus Jon started his new webcomic here: The World's Strongest Mailman

Bandthology Previews

Cover art by Ryan Kelly (local) and panel preview art by Bobgar Ornelas

Hello all. Just in case you didn't already know I am working on a story for the upcoming Banthology comic book anthology. I'm working with my usual writing partner Jon Westhoff and a few other suspect individuals! (some which may have made appearances on Boozehounds as writers and artists).

The reason that I'm writing this is that we as a group need to fund the book before publishing it. We are about halfway to our goal. If you want to preorder and take advantage of our various incentives plese check our chip in here. (it's a similar model to kickstarter campaigns)

The Bandthology blog is here.

Thanks a bunch we appreciate it. We hope that you'll have as much fun reading our book as we had making it!

Creator Owned Day 2012.

I'm told that today is Creator Owned Day 2012. This of course referencing "creator owned" comic books and web comics or just plain old non corporate creative output.

Should I "pimp my wares" as it were to you guys & gals? Maybe. But let me give it up to a minute amount of people doing what they do, the way they want to. This is in no way a complete list but a section of people that I think deserve your attention. Did I miss some one? Let me know in the comments section and I'll rectify the mistake. I will also link this to facebook, twitter & google plus.

Hey everybody, just checking in with a few sketch commissions for people that bought the b-one comics 5 packs. It's the good ol' grasshopper. I started publishing mini comics a long long time ago and this entity has been with me every step of the way. Stonebrook is my comics love and the grasshopper is my mistress. I love them both for different reasons, since they flex different storytelling aspects. These were done rather quickly, but I think they all have at least a modicum of charm.

PITT Pens, rapidographs and ink on bristol board. 5.5"x7"

More random commissions & sketch cards

More random commissions, sketch cards, warm ups, EOC Sketchbook Challenge and Drink n Draw pieces.
