Kris Black Digital Studio

I uploaded several pieces to my portfolio sections. New print ads, a banner, t-shirts, lettered comic pages, business cards and a comic book design. I’ve been really busy getting ready for Heroes Con 2008. I’m due to be pulling out of my driveway in five hours. Nothing like the last minute to take care of some business.

I’m attending Heroes Con with the Dollar Bin and will be interviewing creators, recording panels and mingling with fans. I’m looking forward to a fun weekend. I hope to come home with many contacts for my freelance lettering and design to land more work or simply make new friends.

Last year I lettered the 2007 Halloween Special of Morbid Myths. With 36 pages of spooky and creepy tales you are sure to be entertained from cover to cover. Now you are probably thinking I’m wanting you to rush out to your favorite comic book shop to pick this up but I’m not. Oh, no. I want you to download it for FREE! Seriously, I’m not kidding. To make this even better you can do it legally and not feel guilty about stealing it .

“How is this possible,” you ask? Wowio is Web site that is helping to bridge the gap between readers, sponsors and publishers. You can download all of the available books on their Web site for free. This is possible through the use of subtle, strategically placed advertisements.

Morbid Myths is only one of many available digital comics you can get on Wowio. They have a huge inventory of comics and graphic novels to choose from. Including the famous Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Head on over to Wowio, download the Morbid Myths 2007 Halloween Special and comment on what you think about the book and my lettering. You can also sample other projects and pages of my lettering on the right in the yellow Portfolio stickie.

The fine font designers and letterers at Comicraft have their Annual Never-To-Be-Repeated Sale coming up next week on January 1st, 2008. The sale starts at midnight on December 31, 2007 and ends at midnight on January 1, 2008. For 24 hours, all fonts will be on sale for $20.08

Do you get it? Next year is 2008 and the sale price of the fonts are $20.08. This sale is never going to be repeated just like last year’s sale of all fonts at $20.07 wasn’t repeated this year. Those guys are so clever.
