Hey folks,

Hoping that everyone is doing well and busy chasing their dreams. That's what I'm doing over on this side. I got a few new things on deck, so I'll outline those ever so briefly…

Firstly, the big news. Chad in Amsterdam #01-06 have been collected into a definitive hardcover compendium by the Dutch publisher Scratch Books (the best in the land, Netherland that is). It's truly an honor, and I must say that the book came out gorgeous. It will look right at home on your bookshelf. That amazing cover was drawn by my Cleveland virtuoso homie, Dany Modesto Rodriguez. They are currently available for sale and shipping globally.

Secondly, if you weren't aware, I am working with renowned Dutch children's book illustrator Juliette de Wit towards a graphic novel that we are releasing in periodical form. The Re-Up deals with my halcyon days at Georgetown University (2004-2008) when I inadvertently got into selling weed way back when weed was illegal and exciting. That's the superficial synopsis, as the book is about way more than that, but the weed gets most folks in the door. The reviews have been ravishing, and honestly, rightfully so. We are giving this book all that we got and it reads and looks like nothing else in the comic world. Currently, issues #01-04 are available.

Thirdly, as you all can probably tell due to the dearth of any email updates emanating from my end, I abhor doing email marketing. However, I think I found something that might work for me. This service called PencilBooth keeps things simple, as you can only send one post per week with a max of four pictures and 120 words of text for each pic. I think I'll post a bit more frequently on that platform, incorporating some insider looks at the comics, as well as some highlights on art, books, and music that I am enjoying. If you care to receive these updates feel free to type in your email at this link. I promise I won't inundate you all with doggerel. (Full disclosure: if you're recieveing this post, then I have already added you to the PencilBooth list, but feel free to unsubscribe if it isn't your thing.)

That's it! I appreciate you all. Be well.

Peace,

Chad B.
