Emmett

Here is a promised picture of Emmett, taken this morning.  I really like his “buck up, ol’ chap” pose.

I’m a Dad!

Please welcome Emmett Gerard Schwartz!  Born 1:05 am 12-31-2009.  9 lbs 2.5 oz., 21″ long.  Baby and Mother are doing just fine.  So is Dad!

Pictures to follow.

Merry Christmas!

I did this piece a few years ago, but I still like it!

Shirt Prices: SLASHED!

All Oceanverse t-shirts are now only $12!  Plus, new designs are on the way.

Also, I saw Avatar tonight.  I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but I have to agree with the general consensus:  brilliant visuals and the best CG character acting ever (especially Zoe Saldana), but the story is extremely predictable and not very original.  Still, it’s worth seeing on the big screen, especially in 3D.

New Design

Here’s something I came up with this past week.  I’d like to use it for a new t-shirt in the upcoming year.  Do you like it?  Would you buy it?

Oceanverse Facebook Fan Page

Last night I set up an Oceanverse fan page on Facebook.  I had a group for a while, but the fan page setup seems more conducive for interaction.

So, check it out here. I’ll be announcing a contest in the next week or so.

Coming Soon

Here’s a taste of what’s to come in Oceanverse.

Nominate Oceanverse for Webcomic List Awards!

The fine folks over at thewebcomiclist.com are taking nominations for their 2009 Webcomic List Awards, and, if you are so inclined, I hope that you might consider nominating Oceanverse in a category or two!

Best Black and White Art
Best Non-Traditional Art

If you all think that Oceanverse is worthy of any of these awards, I would love a nomination. All you have to do is go to HERE and scribble a few names in.

And if you participate, please let me know here or on the forum.

Thanks!

Mike

Paper Sub!

Here’s something I’ve been working on.  I’ll be bringing these to the Comic Geek Speak Super Show and possibly here on the website.

This was pretty fun to design.  I might try doing more in the future.
