It’s important to start small.

I’ll stick up a new Epiphany page in a couple days– right now I need to focus on putting everything away in our new apartment. I CAN give you some other freebie comics, though!
First, in case you haven’t read it yet, here’s ROAD TO HELL, a 15-page report on how much of a fiasco ECCC turned out. Read the whole thing on Deviant Art starting here.
Here’s a comic I did for a horror anthology last year. I didn’t write it, but I did draw it.I never heard back from the editor once I sent the files, so I’m going to assume the printing press exploded or something and it’s okay to post here for a couple days.

Finally, here are some storyboards I did as a final project for Advanced Storyboarding class around this time last year. We had to do a two-vehicle chase scene in downtown Savannah, so I picked two vehicles that I think characterize the city best (and are the dumbest to use for a chase scene). I know storyboards aren’t exactly comics, bu-u-ut good enough.

Cheers, and hey, don’t forget to check out our new store! I’ve got some BIG PLANS in the works for it, ohhhhh yes.
So we MADE THE DANG GOAL. In case it wasn’t already obvious, THANK YOU SO MUCH, donators, promoters, street team, everyone, because YOU ALL ARE INCREDIBLY AWESOME. But you know? I’m wondering how far we can push this. Nobody ever got anywhere by playing it safe. LET’S RAISE THE STAKES.
This fundraiser ends March 17th. If we can hit $1300 before then, I’ll throw in a full set of pre-Series 1 buttons and stickers to EVERY ORDER— not just the thirty-dollar-and-up ones or anything, ALL OF THEM. EVEN digital ones.
Now, these are the buttons I’ve been selling in the Ian Jay Store up until now, so if you don’t own them yet now is a great time to hop on the bandwagon and get an AWESOME BOOK FULL OF COMICS as a bonus. Also, keep in mind that once these buttons and stickers are gone, they’ll be gone— I won’t be printing any more. Nab them now before their value skyrockets on the indie comic merchandise speculator’s market! (If such a thing exists. If not, THEY’RE STILL REALLY COOL-LOOKING.)
If you’ve already donated, keep spreading the word! AND THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this book possible. I’m already incredibly proud of how we’ve done— you guys have helped this project smash through the Roof of Small Press Failure and into the Skies of Infinite Possibility beyond. Let’s keep rising!
CLICK HERE TO PREORDER IT. It’s called Ian Jay Super Comics: Volume One, and it collects every significant minicomic and anthology piece into one sizeable tome. If you’ve never read many of my longer comics before, this is a great place to start! And if you do already have some of my minis, now is a great chance to get all of them in one place (and within a sturdy binding). THIS IS NOT THE LAST YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT THIS, trust me.
NEED MORE EXPLANATION?? Watch this hilarious YET INFORMATIVE video I made on the subject:
A FEW OTHER THINGS:
-New Epiphany updates are coming soon– I just need to move into my new apartment and finish work on this book layout. AFTER THAT: we’re in the clear. Thanks for being so patient, and FRIENDLY GREETINGS to any new readers I’ve managed to snag!
-I’m going to Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle next month! I’ll be selling the new books there, as well as some FRESH new merchandise. If you live in the area and you plan on going, keep an eye peeled for me. I’ll post more info on the event before it happens.
-ARE YOU ON TUMBLR??? Because I’m rather more active on there than I am on here nowadays, not gonna lie. Check out my art blog at http://ianjay.tumblr.com for drawings, doodles, works in progress, and general art news. I also have a Facebook fan page that I’ve just started getting back into updating; search for Ian Jay Super Comics. Don’t be afraid of social networking! It’s the wave of the future.
-Speaking of Tumblr, IT’S AWESOME EPIPHANY FAN ART TIME:
I dunno what I’ve been doing to get all this awesome fan art lately, but dang, thanks guys!
I’LL POST HERE AGAIN SOON. STAY SMOOOOOOOOTH
