The Ratatat Graphics/Fear & Sunshine world tour is back in full force! Okay… maybe "world tour" is pushing it, but this will be our first year in Ohio, so that's something. Here are the dates and places to hunt us down:

C2E2 - Chicago, Illinois
4/13 - 4/15

SPACE - Columbus, Ohio
4/21 - 4/22

Kenosha Harbor Market (12 weeks!) - Kenosha, Wisconsin
Saturdays 5/19 - 8/4

8/9 - 8/12

Mid-Ohio Comic Con - Columbus, Ohio
9/29 - 9/30

Does this mean the new Fear & Sunshine book is done?! Well… nope. Sorry about that but it doesn't mean there isn't good news to go with it. The next book has had to get pushed back for a little while so I could get a handle on the fancy new day job. Ooooh, what's that, you ask? Professoring! That's right, I've been put in charge of molding the brains of unsuspecting individuals into super-powered weapons of graphic designeration.

The next book is on its way, so sit tight. There's a good chunk of it done and it WILL be ready by Wizard World Chicago. I've got some other little tricks up my sleeve until then, so, please, hold off on forming an angry mob and coming after me. And hey, take a look a this little cutie - [link]

Thanks !!!

I should update this journal thing...

...but I really don't want to end up in working in the cheese mines of Wisconsin. Hmmm. Okay. Forget about a job! I need money! You know what that means - Artsy fartiness activated!

Commissions are open!

Zombie/ZomBean Headshots

When the undead walk the Earth and you're considering joining their ranks, wouldn't you like a sneak preview of that pretty face of yours once the decay has kicked in. Well, here you go. For just $15 (which will be wisely spent on Spam and ammo), you can get zombified.

And if you're worried about becoming a bean prior to your zombification, you can get a sneak preview of that, too! Get yourself zombeanified for just $5!!!

So, get that adorable little butt of yours over to the Commissions page of Ratatat Graphics, and I'll give you a glimpse of your future self in the zombie/ZomBean apocalypse.

Woah! I'm throwing this one up late!

Wizard World Chicago has started today. Won't be down there until tomorrow though. Bringing Mr. Fear and a whole bunch of ZomBeans along for the ride. Also, going to be doing the second 'Create Your Own ZomBean' contest.

I'm giving away a gigantic ZomBean plushie and will feature a zombie bean based on your design in the next big version of the ZomBeans game for iPhone/iPad and Android. Get the game! It's free! And make sure to rate and leave some feedback.

Hope see some of you in Chicago this weekend!
