Van Helsing, Hunter of the Sabertooth Vampire

 

(Also: I've received a surprising amount of textiles-based fan-art. I drew some con sketches. io9 interviewed me once. And I'm selling a couple of minicomics.)

 

Con Sketches of the Sabertooth Vampire.

So over the last month and change I signed books at Emerald City Comicon (thanks for the table space, PDX Browncoats!) and the Stumptown Comics Fest. After the jump: some of the sketches folks asked me to draw, in person and via Twitter. Click on any image to enlarge.

Fan-Art of the Sabertooth Vampire.

The best surprise that's come from making "Sabertooth Vampire" comics? The fan-art -- much of it textiles-based.

After the jump: A sampling of the drawings, dolls, clothing, and needlepoints (among other things) that I've gotten from readers since starting the comic in January. Click on any picture to enlarge. Thanks so much. It's hugely gratifying.

New in the store: 'Sabertooth Vampire' Vol. 2

Just in time for the holidays, the second "Sabertooth Vampire" minicomic is on sale at culturepulp.bigcartel.com. Fifty-six pages, six lousy bucks.

(Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 can be had at the store for a mere ten bucks total. That's a ridiculously cheap Christmas gift, come to think of it.)

You can also pick up both "Sabertooth Vampire" books at Bridge City Comics and (by mid-week) at Excalibur Books & Comics.

Also new in the store: the remaining print copies of the charming and utterly wrong holiday fable "Santa's Lil' Gimp," my 1994 collaboration with Mr. Gregory P. Dorr. (You can browse the book online at SantasLilGimp.com.)
