Shaman Thunder Cover

Filed under: Web Comics — Tags: , , , — William Cardini @ 7:10 am

Yo yawl, I’m going to start posting Shaman Thunder, a twelve-page comic that Josh Burggraf and I collaborated on. Here’s the cover (drawn by both of us):

Shaman Thunder cover

For Shaman Thunder, Josh and I brainstormed the plot, divided it up into a page-by-page outline, and then drew alternating pages. Then, we decided to reorder the first four pages so that it’s two pages of me and then two pages of Josh. We like to be confusing. Shaman Thunder was originally published as a minicomic by the Gold County Paper Mill.

BONUS: Go check out the newly redesigned site of Pat Auslisio, editor of Math Fiction and Secret Prison (Update 1/15/2017: Pat’s new site is here.). He’s been posting tons of comics and drawings, including this gem:

Go check out for more where that came from, and come back here on Tuesday for Page 1 of Shaman Thunder.

Secret Prison #4 at MoCCA 2011

Filed under: Events — Tags: , , — William Cardini @ 7:20 am

Mini-Comics Day is not the only thing happening this upcoming weekend – it’s also MoCCA 2011 in NYC. Although I was able to attend in 2008, 2009, and 2010, I won’t be there this year :’,’,’,’,'( (Although I can’t really be all that sad, because Glade and I’s wedding and subsequent honeymoon is the reason why.) However, one of my comics will be in attendance. Thanks to everyone’s support of Secret Prison in 2011 on Kickstarter, Pat Aulisio will have fresh, free copies of #4 at Table L5, which he’s sharing with Mike Turzanski and Tom Smo.

Here’s a preview of my comic for Secret Prison #4:

Math Fiction Squared Sketches

Filed under: Print Comics — Tags: , , — William Cardini @ 7:36 am

Hey d00dz, right now I’m working on a seven-page Miizzzard comic for Math Fiction Squared, the sequel to the 3D comic that I was in last year. Like the first one, Math Fiction Squared is edited by Pat Aulisio and will have digitally printed blue/red anaglyph 3D interior pages and a screenprinted cover. However, it’ll be a little smaller: 8.5″ square. I’m really stoked about it!

Here are some sketches:

Look for it in May. I’ll let y’all know when it’s out.

Please Help Fund Secret Prison for 2011

Filed under: Print Comics — Tags: , , — William Cardini @ 7:00 am

Secret Prison, a free comics newsprint anthology out of Philly, needs your help to continue in 2011. In 2010, they funded their three issues with three separate Kickstarters. For 2011, however, they’ve decided to try to raise all of the funds with one Kickstarter. They’re over halfway to their goal and they have until 11:59pm EDT on Sunday, April 3rd to raise the rest. Check it out here.

If you pledge, you can get old issues of Secret Prison (I had something in #2) or subscribe to all their publications for 2011 (I’ll be in #4 and I plan to submit to the rest). You can also get rad art, like this:

I’m also offering up a 9×12″ black and white drawing for anyone who wants to throw down a James Joyce.
