Dregs 2 update

So in case you havent noticed, Dregs 2 is in development hell! Mostly due to procrastination and laziness, and to be honest nothing too spectacular being produced for the theme of weird people you smoked pot with.

However, that isnt to say that I have not been drawing. Ever since we have entered the Twilight Zone in full swing in January, I have been drawing almost exclusively our fearless leader. His face is just a living caricature that its just too hard to resist! This might jusy even be enough to change the format from still images to possibly including a short comic collaboration. Either way, itll still be the dregs you know and love. Unfortunately this means less people on the street drawings (dont encounter them much anymore since I quit cashiering), but its hard not to get sucked into the political oblivion that seems to be our future. Heres a taste of what will probably end up the cover of dregs 2: electoral boogaloo (slight title change!)

I'll probably have some pages to fill out so as always, send in some vile political shit. I'll try to be better about checking the email.

Stay sleazy

Taking submissions for Dregs2 ElectricBoogaloo

As of now I have started the first official drawing for Dregs2, and will be taking submissions. So send me stories and drawings of weird people you have smoked pot with. Whether it was a friend of a friend (usually is), or that weird dealer your friend knew of when all your reliable connects were out. They're all dregs.

And while I'm here introducing the new issue of Dregs in the works, I'd also like to say that I am now officially 100% out of Dregs1. The extra copies I did have were for a local Zinefest that didn't end up happening so I mailed them out upon request, and have finally mailed out the last of those. However! This isn't to say they are completely unavailable. If you would like Dregs1 send me $2 via paypal and I'll get one printed up and mailed especially for you.

Outtakes and Supply

I am pretty much out of copies of Dregs at this point. I do plan on printing up some more, but nothing solid yet. So if you send me an email requesting one, sorry if it takes a little bit to get out to you. After I bring these last few to the post office, and a small stack to another business, I can say that I have successfully distributed 105 copies! Thanks everyone for your interest and support!

I went through my sketchbook folder earlier today and found doodles I did from behind the register in ball point pen. Most of them are just real quick sketches while others I was clearly killing some time at work.

Where to Get Dregs in Tallahassee

Tallahassee locals can find Dregs at any of these fine local establishments!

RetroFit Records
Simply the best source for new and used records. The staff there is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly.

Cosmic Cats Comics
Any time I have needed that odd issue of a comic I was missing, Ned has been able to get it for me. Great place to get comics and always fun to stop in on First Fridays in Railroad Square

All Saints Cafe
Open 24 hours, All Saints is the best place to get work done and enjoy some fantastic coffee. Anyone who has gone to school in Tallahassee has probably pulled an all-nighter here.

And as always, you can e-mail me or fill out the contact form to the right, and I'd be more than happy to mail you a copy! And if you live in Tallahassee, I would encourage you to spend your extra money at these local businesses.

Distribution Update and Behind the Zine Artwork

Just thought I'd give everyone a little update on distribution. As of noon today I officially mailed out the first 3 care packages containing TEN (10!!!) issues each!

I even made a stamp for the envelopes!

Those of you who have ordered, expect them in the mail within the next three days, and give some of the extras to your friends! Those of you who haven't ordered, e-mail me or fill out the contact form on the right with your address and I will mail you some Dregs! It literally costs you NOTHING! If you publish a zine of your own, be sure to send me a copy of it in return.

I also wanted to share some behind the scenes artwork used in creating Dregs. Hit the jump for the full-color drawings and some backstory on the subjects that were the inspiration.
