Hysteria trade?

I'm entertaining the idea of self publishing the collected Hysteria comics into trades. I'm also thinking of taking pre-orders, at a discounted rate, to raise money on the print run.

So, my question to you folks is would you be interested? I'd started with Vol. 0 of the webcomic, and work my way to Vol. 2.

I figure I'd take pre-orders for about a month or so, and ship the books out a month after that...depending on the printer. If I can, I'd like to keep the price of the book around 10 to 15 bucks. If you pre-order I'd offer maybe 30% off or so, give or take. Or maybe I'd offer it with a print instead. Haven't worked out the details yet.

Any takers?

Spring shirt designs 2008 pt. 3

Ok, so I think the big tank is pretty much a shoe in for a final design. As much as I like it with a simple black and white, I want to keep other options open in terms of color. Here are some color ideas I'm playing around with.

Here's one for the ladies, which I f-ing love to death. That chunky tank in all pink just sings to me. I'd also like to do a white shirt with a pink tank.



Might be mandatory to offer a green version.

I'm not even sure I can get these exact shades, still gotta meet with a printer this coming week.

I think I gotta offer a brown one. I love brown shirts myself. Here's a lighter version.


Can't forget the black on white.


Anyway, something to think about. More soon.

Sprint shirt designs 08 pt. 3

Still fighting with this, and I have several versions I'm working on.

Here are some mock ups on actual shirts. I really want to do a big graphic shirt, so I'm working on one with a large wrap around tank. It's a far cry from the first design, but I kinda' dig it.




I actually like the dark grey logo better. Just have to find out from the printer if they can even do the wrap around or not. I also want to see if they can use an ink that is relatively flexible.




I want to have this thing be 100% on point before I offer it up, which is why you're seeing all these different versions. Hope you're all digging these behind the scenes posts.

Sprint shirt designs 08 pt. 2

Hey all,

Ok, still hammering away at this design. I want it *just* right before I'll commit to it.

I've simplified the design, but tried to keep the same feel. The text on the two color is kinda hard to read, but I love so bad...it's hard to give up. The color on the two right hand side designs is supposed to be brown, but it looks a little too mustard like in this jpeg.

Here's a one color design that my man Andy MacDonald of NYC Mech fame helped me figure out (thanks for the crit, man!). Used a different font on the text, which I like.



Once I settled on a final design or two I'll be taking it to a local printer and looking at some shirts, and ink colors. While all that happens, I'll have a period of time where you guys can pre-order the shirt and get a 30% discount. So, stay tuned!

Best,
Mike

Sprint shirt designs 08 pt. 1

Hey all,

I'll be making a new shirt in the next couple of weeks, and have been trying to hammer out a design. Here's one I did, but I'm not totally sold on it. I figured I'd float it out here to see what you folks think.

Here's a two color version.



The "Beautifuller and Beautifuller" is a quote from Luis Armstrong, which always loved and fits how I feel about building my online comics. I want to use more ornate text, but you get the idea.

Let me know what you think. I already have some ideas of what's not working, but don't want to say them so as to see if it's just me or if anyone else sees it.

Thanks!
Mike

Hysteria Vol. 0, Ch. 1 cover WIP

Got a chance to spend a little time working on this cover. I want to stick with a two color palette, in this case black and orange. Far from done, of course. The text is just a holder for now, and the space up top is for the title. Just thought I'd share where I'm at so far.

Oh, and I spelled "volume" incorrectly. Sorry, it's been a long week...

Countdown to Thinktankcomics.com! - 3...

With the new site launching in just three days, I'm going to take the next couple of days to post things related to the site.

One of the unique features I'm going to have on the site is going to be a bi-lingual web comic. That's right, it'll be in English and Spanish. Eventually, I'm going to do it in French too...but baby steps for now ;)

Anyway, I'm starting with the original Hysteria comic from 1998/99 and working forward. It'll run daily, Monday through Friday.

Best,
Mike
