Today’s a special day for me… something two years in the making which I can finally announce!

My new original graphic novel QUEEN KODIAK, conceived of and written by yours truly, will be published by @madcavestudios and @maverick_ogn later this year! And distributed by @simonandschuster … If you can, please PRE-ORDER at the link in my bio and you’ll see that this story is expertly…

Illustrated by @riccardo_faccini_art
Colored by @dearbhlala
Lettered by @justin_birch_letters
With a great cover by @ella.savarese

Brought to you by @mikejmarts who believed in this story and my ability to tell it, my editor Christina Harrington for keeping everything moving forward, and by @christinaa_kp and @eborja13 for connecting the dots to make it happen.

Thank you so much to theverbalthing and @comicsbeat for announcing with us, and here’s a bit on the story…

After the death of her mother, an embattled 17 year old moves in with her father on Alaska’s Kodiak island where she befriends a legendary 3000 lb. bear. Unfortunately, the bear’s inevitable capture upsets a millenia-old kaiju grizzly named Queen Kodiak, who will destroy everything in her path to collect her cub.

Following in the massive footsteps of legends like Godzilla and King Kong, comes QUEEN KODIAK, a colossal, super-charged Kodiak grizzly bear… one who survived from the ice-age and whose been irreversibly enhanced by a mysterious geo-thermal energy pulsing in the unknown depths of an Alaskan ice cave. And although QUEEN KODIAK’s been asleep for thousands of years, melting ice and subsequent tectonic activity has disturbed her hibernation. And in her debut graphic novel, she wakes up to find her only cub missing.

DRAINOMANIA takes home MOST ORIGINAL FILM at Night Frights LA! 🏆

Thank you so much to the entire team (and the jury) at @nightfrightsla for awarding @drainomania as the festival’s MOST ORIGINAL FILM.

The film played this past weekend at the legendary @gardenacinema in what may be its final festival appearance. It’s worth noting that this is the @weird_kid_workshop team’s second consecutive year at the festival and third win overall. Last year both @sally_maersk and @christopher_greenslate took home awards for Best Actress and Outstanding Director for their work on @bananahead_film 🏆🏆

Here’s to another great year!

The journey of @drainomania to @edfilmfest was an incredible way to celebrate a piece of work that among other things is about what’s possible if you clean your toilet. That said, it was also an incredible excuse to see @sally_maersk and @gabbymaiden shine on the big screen, to meet the fabulous @paulridd87 @juliepacino @elly4president @aellajordanedge and to hang out with @alexanderthompsonfilms @meinhardtist @florianeandersen and a truckload more weird kids who make cool shit. I’m obviously leaving out a bunch of people because I’m bad at IG, but it was a week to remember and I can’t wait to be back there in the future. 🫶🏼
