April A Day

Howdy everyone! It's been a minute since the last post. I've been more active on Instagram lately. Also been on Youtube helping my good friend Joe Foo out with Camp Pencil Point videos. I started a drawing challenge with my good friend Justin Castaneda called "April A Day," where we draw April O'Neil of Ninja Turtles fame. Here's some samples, again you can see more on my Instagram @mikerroll. I will be doing another challenge during the month of May so stay tuned!

C2E2 2013!

Hey Chicago! We're back! Come visit Desmond, Joe Foo, Justin Castaneda, Jay Fosgitt, The other Jay and myself at L7 in the L Aisle, if you're in the neighborhood. Stay tuned, more to come!

Spring Show Update Part 2: More Motor City Comic Con

So in case you were paying attention, we're going backwards on the Spring show update. Starting with the most recent being Motor City Comic Con. The next update we'll be going back to New York for MoCCAFest and following that will be Chicago's C2E2. On with the show! So our day 2 (which was the show's day 3) was quite busy and exciting. Still buzzing from the previous day, especially the comment about Apooka inspiring a child to read a book, tired yet excited, we forged on. The attendance was really strong. There was a little more room so we had a chance to wander around and visit with some old friends ,vendors and making new friends. Then we had a visit from Flo, it turns out she approves of Apooka too. Thanks Flo! Finally the highlight of our day was getting a visit from Jimmy. It turns out Jimmy was the savvy young gentleman who purchased some Apooka books at the Detroit Fanfare Show (last Fall) and then left without them! We tried to track him down but Jimmy was long gone before you could say "bwains." So it was nice to catch up with Jimmy, he's a nice guy. Thanks again Jimmy! Thanks again to everyone who stopped by our table. Next stop: Kid's Read Comics - July 7-8. This is a free event. We'll have giveaways and you'll get to meet some wonderful comics creators. More on that to come, plus there will be a big cool announcement regarding Apooka, PLUS the rest of the Spring show update. Woohoo!

Post C2E2

Thanks to eveyone who came by our table at C2E2. I had a wonderful time sharing a table once again with Justin Castaneda and meeting cool new people like David Hillman, eating Gino's East pizza, those crazy kids who will now be known as "The Them." I'm pretty exhausted and still trying to take it all. I made a ton of sketches (the most I've ever done for a con) and worked on our upcoming Apooka Free Comic Day book. In the meanwhile I've got some pics to share. Sorry for the rough pics, all I had was my iphone camera. Hope you enjoy and thanks again to all who stopped by!

C2E2

Well it's official. In less than a month Apooka and I are headed off to C2E2 sharing a table I5 in Artist Alley with good pal Justin Castaneda! Can't wait, this will be great!

Detroit Fanfare

Hey All! Sorry haven't posted it's been a busy month (more on that in a moment). I'm sharing table 85 with Justin Castaneda at Detroit Fanfare this weekend! So if you're in the neighborhood please stop by and say hi! The big news is that the Apooka sequel "Apooka the World's Most Adorable Zombie Goes to the Park" is debuting this weekend. Hot off the presses and assembled at the show! We're not afraid to get dirty in the trenches. If you can't make it to the show we'll have some available for sale at the Apooka store soon.
