And so end’s the first chapter of Anehdonia Blue. A few exciting things will be happening in the next few weeks! First off, this coming weekend (March 13-14) I will be at Emerald City Comicon in Seattle! So if your in the area, please stop by. If you click the button above the comic or here in the post you can find out how to get 5 bucks off your purchase at ECCC10! Next week, because I will be at the con, I have a guest post ready for you guys that looks great, I really think you will enjoy it, so expect that next Monday! Also, the pre-order for this chapter will be ending SOON, so make sure to get your last minute purchases in by the end of the week! Click here to Pre-Order!

See you guys at the con, or at least next week! :]

And things finally tie back in to page 2! Yet there are still many mysteries to uncover!

I though I’d let you guys know, especially those of you who like my sense of humor, last week I just launched a brand new webcomic called “L.A.W.L.S. – Large Air Whales Like Silence!” It’s a tale that follows a young guy who’s got a seething vendetta against a supposed Air Whale. So if you like story based comics like this one with a mix of EQ Comics influence and humor kinda like Nerf This, then this humorous story may entertain you. So on top of a Monday Anhedonia Blue post each week you can also expect TWO L.A.W.L.S. each week as well! They will be post Wednesday and Friday, so check it out & again, thanks for you guys support. :]

FINALLY! The antagonist of this story makes her first full bodied appearance! I’ve been waiting for this moment for quite some time now and am super enthralled to finally give you guys a better taste of who she is. I mean, the last time you’ve seen her was approximately 17 weeks ago! haha, it’s strange to think of post in respects of weeks. Anyway, I have the last pages of this chapter all drawn out and am now in the process of actually putting the first book together. So don’t forget to get your copy of the book early! Also, Ablue is no longer a member of TNPPress but rather, it’s sister collective Starboard Comics, If you’re interested in reading more into why I started this new collective you can read and article on it by clicking this link. By the way, thanks for the votes and the pre-orders they are all helping out significantly. :]

Ok, so the official pre-order is now up at Artistic Doom, my portfolio site! If you want free shipping, and free stuff, chip in now while the offer is still available:

Believe it or not, this chapter is coming to a close already! It doesn’t even seem for real to me that we are already at page 17! With the close of a chapter, means the start of the first Anhedonia Blue Comic book! What? Yeah, that’s right, since the start of this project I had decided that I wanted to throw together a physical comic once a chapter with added extras, like concept art, fan/guest art, etc. So now that that time is already coming I’m already in the works of putting it together. I’m also “remastering” some of the early pages that have random errors on them just for the book. Anyway, because I can’t afford the production on the book on my own, I’m setting up a pre-order, which means if you buy it before it goes on sale officially are GUARANTEED to get a free Anhedonia Blue button set along with the book which will be ship as soon as they books come in! The button pack will have three images, 1 of Eydis, 1 of the creature and 1 of her necklace. To place an order early please buy here, include your name and address, as well as your email and I will keep you posted when the book is in production, when you will be getting it, and the day it is shipped (once i receive them in the mail); I’ll be writing a blog about the order tomorrow with button images and more details. Pre-order here for just $6 (free shipping for pre-orders ONLY) by clicking here:

Eydis at this point as pretty much lost her mind.. wouldn’t you say? It’s all with good reason. Trust me.

This weeks vote incentive is this wallpaper:

Thanks for your votes!

Don’t have much to say this week other than I’m excited for the next few pages. At this moment this page is the most colorful strip yet and aesthetically the closest to my long term vision of this comic. This is what this comic is about, magic, darkness, mystery! :]

New Vote incentive! A Wallpaper for your computers of the last panel; Eydis casting the magic for the first time. Hope you enjoy!

Interesting in deed! For those of you who’ve been asking me, this is the first moment that she has actually noticed the creature that some of you are started to name “Bob” since I hadn’t given him a name myself. Next week’s gonna be a good one! :]

Now friends, In case you guys haven’t notice yet, I’m trying to at least once a week switch up the Vote incentive. The easiest way to tell if its new or not is too look up top at the image above everything, as of today, the new incentive is a little joke strip about Ablue. Anyway keep your eyes open at the top of the page, I’ll put a sample of the vote incentive for you to see to know it’s new (but you can still vote as often as once a day). Thanks for your continued support, your comments and votes are deeply appreciated. Seriously. :]

Been a busy busy week I must say. As my life has been getting busier it seems that so is Eydis’. Looks like things are about to change in her life! At least she’s not applying for Grad School and on the verge of picking up and moving.. oh wait.. she did do that! That’s how she’s run across this curious creature actually. Let’s hope my potential adventure is as eventful as hers? Well… first lets hope I get in? See ya next week.

I know it’s hard to see, but her computer display has the comic Nerf-This open and the last song she was listing to was Skinny Love, by Bon Iver!

Oh, and new vote incentive!

Eydis, You Looting Whore! :] On top of the Tafux Mug the other items of merch I’ve been tossing around in my mind to sell are the “Kill yourself” bleeding heart shirt that Eydis is wearing in the beginning of the comic as well as her brand new shirt “Loot Whore”. Nothing is final yet, especially since at the moment my funds are running dry due to the fact that I just paid to exhibit at San Diego Comic Con and Emerald City Comicon. I guess the eventual production of those will be based on reader interest (you guys) and sales of the Tarfux mugs. Wait… what, you didn’t know Tarfux sells mugs? They sure do! And they are generous enough to be giving the proceeds to me to make ABlue Books, Shirts and more eventually! So if you guys have any future interest in some of that stuff you may want to consider buying one of them snazzy mugs, here. Who knows, maybe eventually I’ll get sued and not be allowed to sell those mugs anymore. Then you’d then have a collectors item or something! (Though I tried my best to brand the Tarfux logo as far away from obviously Coffee shop I’m spoofing to avoid such a disaster, you never know.)

Anyway, Readers, if you ever see anything in the comic or have merchandise ideas feel free to comment to me about it. Would either of those shirts interest you? Or is are those just things I’d wear? Sometimes I’m clueless as to what people would actually buy. lol
