DC Gable: Notes & News

I just spent hours upon hours making infinitesimal changes to my website — see if you can find them!

Just kidding…so I totally redid the Comics section and now it’s full of fresh and loving details, plus more pictures. I have also disabled the Paintings section for now, it appeared that my host had resolved the problem but now it’s back. Grr, shitty bots. Now there’s a pretty little “Whoops!” page marking the site of the ruins instead. I also tweaked some other things…good lord, is this what I spent 6 hours on??? Kill me now.

Don’t be fooled by my caption, I will NOT have a table at the MoCCA Comics Festival this year — there would be no point right now. I haven’t ever taken a table there thus far, but next year is looking good to pop my Festival cherry. I will be walking around with my 2-day pass, talking to creators and spending too much money…and I hear tell there’s an afterparty Saturday night?

Anyway, go support your local indie comic-makers!

I apologize for my web neglect — someone tipped me off that there was an issue with my “Paintings” section, which is currently being resolved by experts.

Why, where on earth have I been? Well, since my main focus has been finishing A Ninja Named Stan and not doing shows or anything not comics, I’ve mostly been cooped up in my house, chained to my drawing table. There hasn’t been much to report beyond my daily progress on the book…and who the heck wants to read about that besides the publisher?? BO-ring!

After Stan, my second non-boring project is an ongoing collaboration with the fabulous playwright Chana Porter, an eventual graphic novel with the working title of The Chronicles of Ruthie. Don’t ask me to pitch it because I am not a writer, but it’s pretty darn awesome and really fun to draw. We may be able to hawk some special-advance-preview issues during the run of Chana’s latest stunning play Besharet (go see it!).

Stay tuned!! : )

I suspended my blog a few months ago due to a nasty bandwidth-eating hack; since then I switched hosts and ended up taking my sweet time reinstating an updates page. These are the recent happenings since then:

2. works on display at Harmony Designs (harmonydesignsfurniture.com) in Mount Vernon, NY
