I published Small Bible: The Old Testament as a minicomic last year and it earned some nice critical praise and a good response from everyone I know that read it but I was too busy to really get the thing out there and help it find its audience. I have colored it and re-formatted it for teh intronets and now offer the complete book for free as a webcomic at Shannon Smith Comics. My goal has been to get some Bible imagery in front of comics fans that would not normally read the Bible and some comics imagery in front of Bible fans that would not normally read comics. I would really appreciate the help of anyone reading this to forward the link to any friends that fit either or both of those categories. Simply put, I've put more effort into this short little comic than any other artistic endeavor of my life and I would appreciate it if you would help the little thing find its audience. Thank you!

Again, this is not actually "new" to regular readers or the fine saintly like people that buy my comics but it is new to my new comics blog and newly formated for your computer using eye balls. Go read it, love it, let it change your life, tweet about it... be a part of the phenomenon.

I reviewed Nic Carcieri's anthology book Portals over at the Poopsheet Foundation. Check it out.

Here are some drawings from this past Saturday's Rob Con, a comic book show in the Bristol Mall in TN. Above is just a pencil quick sketch of Hawkman but I decided to play around with it and drop in some quick colors using a DC style guide I found online somewhere a while back. This is just super quick coloring using the eye dropper and paint bucket tool and stealing those DC colors.

This is the pencil drawing sans color.

Here is a pretty lousy Kamandi pencil drawing I did with the same color experiment.

And here are the Kamandi pencils.

My seven year old daughter Kassidy sold more comics at the show than I did. This his her drawing of Wonder Woman with the same color tricks.

Here is Kassidy's pencil sketch of Wonder Woman.

And here is the DC style guide I stole from.

The show was cool but I feel safe in saying that myself, my family, Jeremy Massie and his posse were the only people there that had ever seen a minicomic before. Not really an indie crowd. But, Kassidy found a lot of good girl-centric comics and toys for cheap. I found an issue of Kamandi I was missing. Good times.

This is not really a new comic. I made it back in 2007. However, it is new to my new comics blog which you should subscribe to, follow, favorite, bookmark, tweet about and plan your life around. How can there be peace in the middle east if you don't love my webcomics? Really? Well get to clicking already!

I'll be setting up shop at Rob Con in the Bristol Mall in Bristol TN this Saturday (tomorrow). Come on out and I'll sell you comics and maybe even draw you a sketch like the one above. The mini comics convention is near Sears and is from 10 am to 6pm. I probably won't get there until around noonish. Jeremy Massie will also be there to sell you a copy of The Deadbeat. Plus, there will be comics! Come and see us!
