Midnight Menagerie 3rd Anniversary

Well my darling deviants, it’s been an interesting journey so far. Three years ago today, I introduced the world to my favorite idiots, Shawn and Romero. That’s right, today marks the 3rd anniversary of the series. So what have I managed to do in 3 years? I’ve produced almost 6 full color chapters (if you would have told me that 5 years ago that I’d be working in color I’d have called you crazy because I’m not *that* masochistic. Ha ha ha.) I’ve had reviews and interviews because of the series and I’ve been selling issues on Comixology.

But more importantly, it’s what you guys have been doing. Every person who has read the series, left a comment, bought an issue and told their friends about a ginger almost too dorky to live and his supernatural suitors are what have allowed me, and motivated me to keep working. If no one read the series, I’d have quit a good long time ago. So pat all of yourselves on the back, because Midnight goes on because of you.

So what’s coming in year 4? A LOT. The Mad Dog arc is coming to a close (with some big things coming in this chapter, what you’ve been reading so far is just the build up) and the next story arc I’m especially excited about because it will finally introduce the final main character of our ragtag group of paranormal misfits. Also, I have a convention coming up at the end of April where I plan to be selling prints and issues of Midnight Menagerie, plus I am hoping to launch a Kickstarter campaign to get a printed version of Midnight Menagerie v.1.

So once again, thanks a ton for the support. Love you guys and Happy Anniversary!

Hey fans, Midnight Month is almost over and it’s been lots of fun. If you’ve contributed on Patreon you got access to all sorts of behind the scenes facts, on Tumblr I did Drawlloween (well, up until a bunch of things avalanched and I ran out of time) and tomorrow expect a special Halloween comic in addition to the art I did last week.

Also this week I was reviewed by Pulp Cultured and I added a permanent link to both my Etsy and Comixology pages so you never have to struggle to find where you can buy my stuff ever again.

Midnight Month may be at an end, but at Bwillett Comics, it’s always the right time for Halloween.

Midnight Month 2015

Hey my tender lumplings. It’s the beginning of October and everyone gearing up for one of the best holidays of the year: Halloween. But because of all the spooky glory that is my web comic, it’s also Midnight Month! That means all month we’ll be celebrating everything spooky and scary with bonus stuff from Midnight Menagerie. Bonus comics, bonus art and lots of behind the scenes actions.

First off, Midnight Menagerie issue #5 is now available from Comixology. Even if you’ve read chapter 5 already I strongly suggest you purchase it because the Comixology version contains a special bonus comic called The Life and Times of Gary the Tentacle Monster. The comic isn’t available online so the only way to read it is to get the issue. Everyone who’s read it has loved it, so I assure you it’s a purchase worth making.

Second of all, I’m doing Drawlloween on Tumblr. Like Inktober, it’s one of those month-long theme challenges. In addition to the theme provided by the challenge, I’m also incorporating characters from Midnight Menagerie into the art. So if you want to see all the cool drawings, remember to follow me on Tumblr.

Lastly, if you are a Patreon member, starting next week, regardless of level, you will have access to a bunch of info about Midnight Menagerie and some plans I have for the series, as well as many of the influences behind my stories. For levels starting at a dollar a month, this a great way to find out about all the different Easter eggs the series has. Plus your support goes directly back into the comic. So if you aren’t supporting already, now’s a great time to start.
