Hey, hope you enjoy the new, simpler, and cleaner thekonamis.com! The functionality is about the same, I mean, it’s still comicpress and all, but we got rid of all of the ads and cut away a little of the fat, as well as got rid of some of those colors that made it hard to read for some of you. I also updated the Cast and Crew page a bit, and we should have the store up soon so you can get your very own copy of The Konamis! Volume 1. Exciting times!
Look for Thunderskull Press home of the Konamis at Phoenix Comicon.
Let me just start off by saying, we couldn’t do what we do without support. Support from our families, friends, and fans. With Phoenix Comicon rapidly approaching, and a mountain of last minute prep work that still needs doing we’ve once again put out the call for help.
Steve Mooney Jr. is one of our way back friends. He’s been there for us since the beginning, eager to offer his help whenever needed. We are lucky to have him as a fan, and luckier to have him as a friend. His comic “Life with Kitty” is a tale of the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of owning cats. Cats are jerks. I can’t thank him enough.
So what this means is that next week Steve is Managing the band. While he’s doing that, we are going to be cranking out con goodies like madmen: Buttons, Magnets, Books, Bookmarks, Mini-comics, Original Art, Prints, and I’m perfecting my high five.
Thanks for understanding the intermission, and enjoy “The Konamis in: The Birds and the Bees” by Steve Mooney Jr.
Do you like The Konamis but wish you could talk to the creators? Do you lie awake at night pondering what we’re really like? Have you ever found yourself zoning out as you wondered what I was eating RIGHT NOW? If so, you are seriously creeping me the fuck out (besides, that’s what twitter’s for. Follow me at http://twitter.com/quaga and see just how often one man can go to Chipotle. The answer may astound you.)
If that’s not enough for you, Tavis and I will be chatting LIVE at http://comicchatcast.com/ on Friday, May 20th starting at 6pm PST / 9pm EST. We’ll be answering your questions and talking about The Konamis, webcomics, and how awesome Chipotle is. Seriously, you guys, it’s so good.
Hey there adventurers! Just a quick update for you. Come see Jack and TJ of the Konamis LIVE! from Phoenix Comicon. We’ll be there all weekend, so come say “hey” at artist alley table: 856 in the Star Wars Neighborhood (just watch out for Bounty Hunters).
Here’s some cool stuff you can expect from us: Awesome books, amazing prints, badass buttons and magnets, bookmarks, highfives, delightful conversations, confusing looks, artist sketches, we’ll write on your arms, and much, much more.
Hey everybody,
I just wanted to take a moment to address a few changes going on with my home life.
I bought a new house, so now I get to be crazy old man Maiden who shouts at kids to “get of my lawn!” as I shake my fist. Aside from the whippersnapper rants that being a home owner affords me, it also means that I am going to be packing and moving and cleaning…and eating and sleeping (and I’m sure lots of other things). So Jack and I decided that we would try some other things this month: single day gag comics, character bios, and guest comics. Everything should be back to normal soon, and beginning in April, we should be back to our regularly scheduled program.
Thanks for reading, feel free to email us any questions (especially Math problems, Jack loves math)
Tavis
Hey, can’t get enough art from the amazing Tavis Maiden? Well, you are in luck! He has an amazing and sporadically updated art blog. What’s more fun than sporadic? You never know what you’re gonna get or when. Fun! Utilizing the wonders of blogspot technology this blog is updated by the artist himself. Yessiree no middle men here. Just good old fashioned uploading technology. So if you like the Konamis go check out Tavis Maiden’s art blog, hell even if you don’t like the Konamis go check it out (although if you didn’t like the Konamis you probably wouldn’t be reading this post).
Thought it would be fun to compile all of the online Konamis comics into a video montage. So without further ado, 2 years of the Konamis in just over 2 minutes.
Hey Adventurers,
The Konamis are adding a show to our tour! We’ll be at the Tucson Comic-Con November 6th. That’s next Saturday! We’ll be meeting and greeting a lot of cool people (that’s you!). We’re bringing some mini-comics, buttons and for the first time ever, an exclusive Konamis print, made special for the 2010 Tucson comic-con. It’s gonna be a limited run, so if you’re there make sure to pick one up.
Tucson Comic Con is an organization that gives back to the city of Tucson by holding a FREE all day event, in hopes to bring the exciting world of comic books to the old pueblo from our very own local comic shops to a wide variety of independent sellers and artists. This event is for all ages and is a chance to experience a good old fashioned comic book convention.
Tucson Comic-Con is coming up on Saturday November 6th, 2010 in downtown Tucson at The Hotel Arizona.
181 West Broadway Boulevard, Tucson, Arizona (520) 624-8711
See you there!
