Farel Dalrymple | illustrations and comics

i had a great time in richmond, va at velocity comics. thanks to patrick and the whole gang there. that is great comic shop.
Attending also were Brian Wood, Becky Cloonan, Jim Rugg, Tom Scioli, Jasen Lex, Rick Spears, and Rob G..
rva resident and excellent cartoonist Dash Shaw put some pics of the signing and after party up on the meathaus blog.
and meathaus gets some props in the new issue of wizard magazine. in issue #174 Meathaus is #25 on their “42 things you need to know about indie comics in 2006″
and i have some sad news regarding meathaus. due to some problems getting the book all finished it looks like meathaus #8: headgames
won’t be in stores until june 2006. we re-solicited issue 7: love songs though so that will be in select stores around the country.
and this show is already over but i really liked this flyer my buddy angry jim campbell did. that is my best buddy roger in the drawing. his face sometimes appears in my own work.

i don’t think i will be able to make it to staple this year. it is a bummer because i missed it last year too. i really wanted to go but with my current schedule i just couldn’t swing it. as my friend brandon graham says, too much adventure and not enough comics. speaking of, he is going to be in a show in seattle at this place. here is the flyer.

i haven’t updated my website in ages. i was thinking about redesigning it. i want something simple and is easier to update than image ready. i already feel like spending so much time on the computer makes me shirk my sacred duties of making comics. does anyone have any ideas?
next weekend i will be in richmond, VA for a comic book signing at Velocity Comics
The signing will be from 2 to 5 on Saturday 2/11. please come by and say hi. i think everyone will be drinking somewhere that evening too.
speaking of drinking last weekend i was in austin, tx for a visit and i just happened upon some cartoonists at some bar. i was a bit too tipsy to hold a pen properly but i think i managed to do some crappy drawings anyway. the people in the group all seemed like a rather excellent bunch.
In upcoming news, Alternative Comics is releasing Meathaus 8 Head Games
within weeks. and the bbc online did a neat feature on the meathaus group. be sure to check out the image gallery they have up there.
meathaus was supposed to be in stores already but my own personal deadlines and other things kept me from finishing up the book. but it is done and will hopefully be back from the printers in a few weeks. and i believe that wizard magazine will be doing something on the new book next month. i’ll post more info when i find out the details.
in the meantime if you haven’t visited recently, check out the new front page for front page for meathaus.com
