Galacticast Commerical Break: yours truly!



So Casey and Rudy from Galacticast (and A ComicBook Orange)have taken it upon themselves to put together a commercial to promote my work. Probably one of the coolest things anyone's ever done for me. Thanks a trillion, guys. I'm glad you enjoy my stuff enough to spread the word!

Brian Posehn represents on The Comedians of Comedy



Brian had told me that he wore my shirt on a Comedians of Comedy special, but I had never seen it, until last when night Kara caught it on Comedy Central. It's from their Live at the Troubadour performance, which, if you haven't seen it, is amazing!

My Name is Nixon. I'm a tax collector.

When I was little, I had convinced myself that I was a robot given by the government to my mother to raise, and have never really gotten any solid proof otherwise.



My tattoo was done by the amazing Jessie Hopeless.

New York ComiCon signing schedule.



So here are the down-and-dirty details of where you can find me throughout the duration of the New York Comic Con 2008.

my booth will be Booth #1569, which will be right across from Neal Adams!

Also, i will be signing at the following times:
Friday
7-8PM: DC Comics/ Vertigo

Saturday
11AM-Noon: Dark Horse Comics
4-5PM: with Claudio Sanchez @ Autograph Area Table #6

Sunday
4-5PM: DC Comics/ Vertigo

otherwise, i'll likely be at my booth, #1569, doing commissions.
they'll be $100 each and I'll only be able to do a handful every day, so if you want in on one, get there early! But to keep it fair, i'll start the list fresh every day, so if you miss your chance one day, you could catch it the next.

See you there!

eBay Buyers Beware of False Second-Chances!

i've heard recently that someone got a fake second-chance offer on some artwork i had put up.

I'd feel awful if a fan got scammed on something of mine, so please make sure that the email you get is either from me or Kara, or from EBAY.COM. there can be subdomains (service.ebay.com) and whatnot in there, but it should END in EBAY.COM. if the email address looks fishy at all, do yourself a favor and play it safe and contact me or Kara to make sure it's legit.

XXXombies #3 cover colors, Bad News Bugs.

It's been a long time since i left you without a dope beat to step to.

2008 is in full effect, and with it, i bring artwork!
here are the colors for XXXombies #3, with lineart by the indomitable Kieron Dwyer.


And with the good, comes the bad.
Rich Johnston reports the end of The Exterminators at issue #30. Unfortunately, this is more than mere rumor, and it breaks my heart to know it. I sincerely would like to thank everyone who dared give us a chance for their support. I hope it was fun for you guys, because i know i had a blast. I only regret not being able to do more of it.

In trying times when poor-to-mediocre books are being publicly bashed by the readers who still habitually buy them in droves, but books like ours struggle to find a modest sustainable audience despite the love the fans and critics have shown, it's hard not to take things a little sorely. But those who have read The Exterminators and supported it have been nothing but kind and wonderful to us, for which i can never thank them enough. All good things must pass, but you have all made this one a great time while it lasted.

Brian Posehn represents on The Sarah Silverman Program

in the newest episode of The Sarah Silverman Program (s2ep4: Cookie Party), Brian Posehn is sporting a handsome zombie t-shirt! Look for the scene in the diner where Brian attempts to talk politics and Sarah pretends to be the mayor!




Also, if you're not already watching that show regularly, there's something wrong with you.

big thanks to John Cottrell for the screencaps.
