Publishing, Portfolio, Podcasts & Potpourri by Gregg Schigiel
GreggSchigiel.com is a new website for me and my work as a cartoonist and author/illustrator. It’s meant to streamline and codify the various threads that exist on this site and pixcomic.com, which still stand, but greggschigiel.com will be “home” for most anything related to my current professional endeavors – namely, writing and illustrating books, particularly … Read more
First announced in my monthly email newsletter, I’ve started a series of YouTube drawing videos called STUFF SKETCHED. A pseudo-spinoff of my STUFF SAID podcast, these videos will feature my drawing something with a voice over commentary of some kind. So far there are two videos up on YouTube (and at StuffSaidShow.com), with more to … Read more
My graphic novel, PIX, Vol. 2: TOO SUPER FOR SCHOOL, was nominated in two categories of the Kids’ Comics Awards. It can win if enough kids and teens vote for it before June 16th. So if you’re reading this I ask you to kindly click the link below and vote for PIX in both its … Read more
I’ve covered some of this over at PixComic.com, but in an effort to make this page about something more than Tom Cruise podcast episodes, I thought it worth putting some words down here.
In late 2014 I finally took Hatter Entertainment to the next level, self-published PIX: ONE WEIRDEST WEEKEND under the Hatter Entertainment name. It was something I long wanted to do and it remains one of my proudest accomplishments of my professional career.
Check it out, the official trailer for PIX: ONE WEIRDEST WEEKEND! Tell your friends and share, share, share!
PIX: ONE WEIRDEST WEEKEND is now available in comic book shops everywhere, as of today! If your local comic shop was amongst those who chose to stock copies, please consider supporting them and buying a copy from said store. They took a chance on my book and I’d love to see people showing their support … Read more
It’s been a busy year here at Hatter Entertainment…and if you’ve been here before you can see the site looks different (version 3.0, if you will), which is among the things occupying time, along with:
For a very long time, too long, I’ve talked the talk of “one day” being a publisher, publishing my own work. Visions and stars in my eyes. Well, as of today I can say I’ve done it. I approved the proofs and now simply have to wait for the printer to ship me copies of … Read more
I don’t like being one of those folks who remark on their absence from their own sites and updates therein, so I won’t. Instead, here’s some stuff that’s happened this past year that’s occupied my time, but first, check out the newest holiday card for 2013 here.
I’ve been drawing (and writing) SPONGEBOB COMICS, available at better comic shops (and some newsstands, apparently). In May 2014 be sure to go to your local comic shop’s Free Comic Book Day event (the first Saturday in May every year, so in 2014 that’ll be 5/3) and pick up the SpongeBob issue. I wrote, drew and colored a four-page story in there I’m excited about. Here’s a sneak peak:
“Stuff Said”, my podcast, continues apace. This year I had some great talks with great people in comics, as well as this episode, where I tell my story of “breaking in” to the comics industry.
This past weekend was Free Comic Book Day, and for the third year in a row I was part of the celebration at Acme Comics in Greensboro, NC, which is really turning into, as my pal Brian Smith put it, the comics and geek culture version of what Austin is to music. It’s very cool. Propers to Acme Comics, their sister store Acme Comics Presents, their neighbor Geeksboro Coffeehouse Cinema, and everyone who came down to “Comic Book City, USA” for making it a great weekend where we all felt very welcome to be sure.
As part of the action for FCBD, we draw FREE sketches for folks who wait as long as 2+ hours in line. I know I try to get through as many as I can as quickly as I can and still deliver the goods. So behold, a gallery of my FCBD sketches, or at least the ones I photographed*:
