SUPER75STUDIOS

So I’ve decided to make a small change to how I post my creator owned work online. Starting next Monday my Patreon backers will see all new F.O.E. pages and any travel writing I do a week before I put them up anywhere else. The comic will still be free online, but I wanted to give a little something extra to anyone who chooses to support my creator owned work. Patreon reward plans start at just $1 a month. My income is 100% based on freelancing for clients and that pays my bills, but projects like F.O.E. and The Illustrious Gentlemen take up time that I could be spending on client focused work or family, so I think it’s fair to offer something special to people who want to help support my work. If you’re interested, please take a few minutes and look it over. Shares of this post are greatly appreciated. https://www.patreon.com/ryancody

I printed up a very small run of Fata Obstant Expeditions #1 for my upcoming shows but I’ll sell a small handful here for those fans who REALLY want a print edition. It’s 20 pages, full color, and will cost $12 shipped. (U.S. Only). Included in that price you’ll also get a small, 5×7 head sketch of any character of your choice (no need for it be from FOE). I’m limiting this to only 6 copies initially. You can paypal me at hurricanekids@gmail.com.

I had a great time this past weekend at Cab Comics & The State Bar in Flagstaff. You can see some pics I posted over at azcomicminiexpo.com

I will be appearing alongside a great group of artists at Cab Comics in Flagstaff, AZ from 11-3. Later that evening I will be appearing with Scott Godlewski & J. Gonzo at The State Bar from 6-8. We’ll be selling comics, art and chatting with interested parties.

Chapter 1 of Fata Obstant Expeditions wraps up next Monday. If you like to read comics as a whole instead of page by page, you can now pre-order the digital first issue as a high quality PDF. It will be available on Wednesday September 7th. Also, for fans of F.O.E. who want to support it more fully, I’ve created a Patreon page as well. There are options for behind the scenes process pieces, sketches & original art. Please, as always share this far and wide if possible, and I’ll keep chugging away at this fun little project. Chapter 2 starts September 12th.

I have a new F.O.E. page up today  & a new Illustrious Gentlemen podcast is available so you can see some new art from me today and listen to me ramble on.

I’ve just added the pages for F.O.E. up here on the site, so you can read the comic right here, or at your favorite site. As always, the original pages are available here. My other new project, alongside Scott Godlewski, The Illustrious Gentlemen podcast now has 4 episodes up (plus 2 bonus mini-sodes), and you can listen at iTunes, Stitcher, Soundcloud or right there on the blog.

Me and my pal Scott have started a podcast. It’s basically a recording of us talking about booze, art and telling stories. Check it out and subscribe! You can also follow us at our blog for more info.

10 days, 8 states, 73 hours behind the wheel, 4,916 miles. A fantastic road trip with my son that took us to Virginia to see family, into D.C. for all the touristy things, and then on to Charlotte for Heroes Con, one of my absolute favorite shows of the year. I love driving, I love engaging my children in conversations that matter and I love talking about art and process, and those 10 days provided it all. Despite all the flaws this country has, it is beautiful, and going from the high desert mountains of Northern Arizona to the flat plains of North Texas and Oklahoma to the forests and smoky mountains of Tennessee, I loved it all. Southern hospitality is very much a real thing, and something that is missing here in the west. Heroes Con is an amazing show and I can’t say that enough. Over the years Shelton and his team have cultivated and curated a show that is 100% about comics and comic art. 90% of my sales come from original art and commissions at that show, compared to about 40% at other shows. All the fans are educated and passionate and want to talk about art, artists and their love of comics. Charlotte is a very nice city, so I hope Rico and the gang at Heroes will have me back for many years to come. I have several more trips this year and I’m very much looking forward to travelling as much as I can, it’s become the greatest passion of mine. On the work front, as I wait for new projects to ramp up, I’m taking commissions to cover the gap, you can message me at hurricanekids@gmail.com if you have any. You can follow me on Instagram if you’re interested in more photos. Thanks!
