HIPSTERS webcomic 040

 

Here it is, the first part of the brand-new Hipsters storyline. I am not yet going to reveal whom the hipsters will be facing this time – you’ll find out in a couple of weeks.

As usual, there's a German version.

Comicfestival München and JAZAM! vol. 6

Tomorrow, the Comicfestival München 2011 is going to start. It's going to go on for four days and I'll be there the whole time, signing various comics at the booths of JAZAM! (34), Comicaze (41), Weildarum (32), and Volk Verlag (13). (map of the festival) Most of the time, you'll probably find me at the JAZAM! booth. Some pencil drawings for my "Wiesn G'schichtn"-story are part of an exhibition at the Bier- und Oktoberfest-Museum.

My biggest new publication for the festival is definitely JAZAM! vol. 6, which I edited and layouted. It also contains three full-page illustrations by me and a 10-page collab comic with David Koslowski. I wrote the story, he drew the pencils, I inked, shaded, and lettered it. Here's the first page:

Other available books of mine will be JAZAM! vols. 2-5, "Wiesn-G'schichtn" (Volk Verlag), "Vorletzte Geräusche" (Weildarum), and "Comicaze kostenlos 27" (Comicaze). I'm also going to be handing out these free Hipsters stickers:

HIPSTERS sticker

For the Munich Comicfestival (which is next week), I made a Hipsters sticker I'm going to be handing out for free at the JAZAM! booth. Here's the illustration I drew for it:

BTW: David Füleki made an amazing 4-part Hipsters guest comic that's up at the Hipsters site now. Read it here!

new self portrait

I just exchanged the little self portrait of me in the blog header, since the previous one was getting a bit old. Here's a bigger version:

BTW: The first HIPSTERS guest strip by Tim Gaedke is up! (German version)

HIPSTERS webcomic 039

Here it is, the end of the vampires storyline! Did you like it? I’d love to read your opinions in the comments!
Read the whole story from start to finish here. And tell your friends! Before the next storyline starts in a couple of weeks, I’m going to post some guest strips on the site, starting next monday. Stay tuned for that!
As a little bonus, here’s a scan of the pencils for this strip.

HIPSTERS webcomic 038

Only one more part to go! Have you read the entire vampires storyline yet? Start here to catch up!

German version

HIPSTERS webcomic 037

We’re getting close to the end (of the vampire storyline) now! Only two more strips after this one.

By the way, the Hipsters facebook page just passed 200 “likes”. Do you “like” it yet? How about twitter?

German version

JAZAM! vol. 6

Over at the JAZAM! blog, we just revealed the cover of the 6th volume of our neat independent comics anthology. I didn't do the cover (except for the logo), but I'm still proud of how it turned out and glad to present it here. The illustration is by Boris Zatko, an amazing Swiss cartoonist.

For the new volume, I did the layout and a ton of editorial work, and also several illustrations and a 10-page comic collaboration with my buddy David Koslowski. I'm gonna show excerpts of that soon, too.

HIPSTERS webcomic 036

Finally, I’m back on schedule with the newest bit of death and mayhem. The bodies are really piling up now, aren’t they?

German version

HIPSTERS webcomic 035

Wait… did I just kill off myself? As Ratfist creator Doug Tennapel recently tweeted: “I never meta narrative I didn’t like.”

German version.

HIPSTERS webcomic 034

Sorry for the lateness of this comic! I’ve been working on JAZAM!, which didn’t leave me a lot of time for the hipsters. I’ll try to stay on schedule in the next weeks, though. After all, it’s only 5 more strips ’til the end of the vampire episode! What a perfect occasion to reread the rest of it, starting right here.

German version

HIPSTERS webcomic 033

Here it is, the fight you’ve been waiting for! Turns out killing vampires is kinda hard for a scrawny hipster guy like Leo.

German version

HIPSTERS webcomic 032

Lucas (the guy with the whitefro)  is back! But not for long…

Want the German version?

HIPSTERS webcomic 031

This was probably the most detailed page yet, so it took me a little longer than usual. That’s why this part is fashionably late.

German version

HIPSTERS webcomic 030

Part 30 already! Not too bad, right? The next few parts aren’t quite as gag-based as most previous ones because I want to advance the plot a little. I hope you still enjoy it!
