Wonderlost Preview

Hey, all-

I'll be running three weekly previews of my new autobiographical Image comic WONDERLOST on Newsarama starting today. The first one just went up at http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=91424

Orders are starting to come in on the book, but are still open, and I would really like to boost them a bit. Pre-ordering greatly helps, so of you could reserve a copy with your local retailer today, I would greatly appreciate it. The Diamond Order Code is OCT061848

To all the retailers reading this, thank you so much for your continued support!! Anything I can do to help you sell this book, from driving in for signings to autographing books though the mail for you, please feel free to drop me a line with any suggestions or ideas you may have. You guys all rock! Thanks.

Please feel free to drop by my Image message board at http://www.imagecomics.com/messageboard/viewforum.php?f=32 to discuss anything.

Take care,
C.B.

Going Down to Texas

I just wanted to let you know I'll be at Wizard World Texas this weekend, November 10-12th. I'll be a guest speaker on Activision's Marvel: Ulitmate Alliance panel on Saturday from 11-12PM in the Christopher Reeve Theatre. After that, you'll be able to find me on the show floor, most likely in Artist Alley.

I hope to you some of you there!

The Daily Grind

Needless to say, the transition from working freelance to going back to Marvel has taken some getting used to. Certain life adjustments have to be made. There are good changes, like the fact that I get to see all my friends on a daily basis again; and bad changes, like having to get up early, which does indeed suck. I'm working across three departments up there now and it has been rather time-consuming trying to get up to speed, to say the least. Tack on to that all the freelance writing I still have to do in the evenings and I don't find myself with much free time these days. But once I get in the groove, things will calm down and I'm have a life again. Hopefully...

I've got plenty of pics and some funny stories to share, but that's all going to have to wait until I knock out this next LONERS script, which should be on my editor's desk tomorrow. I mean, it WILL be on your desk, sir!

In the meantime, I recently opened up an e-mail from my buddy Joe Spicer who surprised me with a cute little Chibi C.B. that he drew up. So instead of cat pictures today to hold you over, you get mini me!

Jason Pearson Covers LONERS

October 1st

Lotto and Clyde discover their father's secret identity...

September 30th

Hit the Millbrook Winery for a tasting before the wedding...

September 29th

We headed up north to Millbrook, NY in the Hudson Valley for a wedding this past weekend. Fresh air, changing leaves and starry nights... I snapped this one evening as we were headed out for dinner.

September 28th

So a dog walks into a bar...

September 27th

The corner of 82nd and Broadway...

You could do a whole book about water towers and rooftop gardens in New York!

September 26th

9th Avenue through a taxi window...

And peace lights up the night... (Sept. 25th)

I have a script here that's still kicking my ass, so I spent all day indoors slaing over it nd ended up not going out until late. Just wanted to take a walk to clear my head and get my thoughts on this script in order. So I'm walking along and at one point I look uup at this dark building and there's a peace sign lit up on the side of it...


It's a shitty picture, I know, but you can kind of make out the windows there at the bottom, and then just hanging there in the dark is the peace sign strung up from Christmas lights. It didn't serve as any kind of inspiration unfortunately, but it looked cool...

Chester Senior Shoots Willie

My dad's been doing a little photogrpahy of his own recently and took this picture of Willie one evening as he climbed across the new arbor they built for my brother's wedding. It's pretty impressive, if you ask me...

September 24th

We were going to try and get out to Ralph Macchio's house this weekend for an end-of-summer pool party, but it rained for most of it and that plan fell apart. I spent most of Saturday and Sunday indoors anyway so the shitty weather didn't bother me much, but it finally cleared this afternoon so I was able to get out and do some shopping and practice my photography skills. I walked around looking for cool fire escapes to take pictures of as you can usually find people leaving random things on theirs, but there wasn't much to see this time around in my area. But here's one that gives you a choice should your building be burning; climb down the ladders floor by floor, or swing down on the vines...

September 23rd

I took a break Saturday to head out to see Jackass Number Two and thought it was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Maybe I'm juvenile and immature but I laughed so hard I was crying through a lot of the movie. Johnny Knoxville, Bam, Steve-O, Wee Man... these guys are comedic geniuses! They're out of their fucking minds and beat their bodies to shit, but it's absolutely brilliant!

Anyway, after I got out of the movie, my budddy Nick left me a message that he, Shannon and Andy were down at the Old Town Tavern so I went down to join them for dinner. I'd never been before and they recommended I try the burger and/or the chili... so I did. I ordered the chili burger and it was freakin' AMAZING!!! One of the best meals I've had in the city in a long time. The chili was homemade and nice and spicy with the perfect mix of meat and beans, and the burger was fantastic! I would highly recommend you head down for the food as well as the ambiance as the bar itself is a quiet and quaint place to hang out with friends. It's on 18th between Park and Broadway, right behind the Union Square Barnes and Noble.

September 22nd

This was also taken at Otto's but was shot after midnight when Smutzie's band was rocking out, so it was technically the next day...

September 21st

My sister Erika came into the city Thursday and dragged me downtown to see our friend Smutz's band play at Otto's Shrunken Head Tiki Bar. It's an extremely cool bar and I would highly recommend making a pit stop down there if you're ever looking for a cool watering hole. It's on 14th between Avenues A and B. And be sure to get one of their funky drinks in the tiki head glasses!

Just because...

...I don't post the pictures daily doesn't mean I'm not taking them. :)

I've been under some deadline pressure these past few days and have to finish my next Loners script. (It's coming, Molly and Tom!) I have managed to get out a bit each day so I don't go stir crazy and snapped a bunch of pics so I'll post them now.

Sorry for the delay.

September 20th

This is from the window of Staples on Broadway...

Aren't they supposed to be selling office supplies? And isn't Halloween six weeks away?!

More White Guy Dancing

I never learn...

September 19th

It was cloudy and overcast today and I went out after a small rain shower passed through the area. I wandered over to the park behind the Museum of Natural History as I really dig the museum and its surrounding area. A lot of nannies take their kids there to play and there are also usually plenty of people walking their dogs, but it was pretty quiet today given the weather. However I was able to find this drawn on the sidewalk in chalk amidst games of hopscotch and tic-tac-toe...
