Pssssssst! "Wild Zero" is a huge influence on Nix Comics stories, is playing on the big screen at the Wexner Center for the Arts as part of a double feature with "Fangs" and its free!

(Never seen Fangs, but it sure looks cool!)

I've rejiggered around where different sketchbook picture sleeves are available. Some at the Nix 2024 website. Some at The Herbert Cooper Gallery and some waiting for me to get my act together to throw a record party!

I'll be at The Herbert Cooper Gallery (76 Parsons) tomorrow during the OTE art walk with some new sketchbook picture sleeves!

More or less finished this sketchbook picture sleeve today.

For you rekkid fiends attending SPACE this weekend, I'll have aton of prints of my favorite sketchbook picture sleeves and Nix Comics record case!

21/04/2024

Not yet available, because I'm waiting for a chance to put a "record night" together where I play all of my recent new Sketchbook Pic sleeve records. (Like maybe at the Herbert Cooper Gallery)...

But I'm proud of my 1st 9 panel grid effort, so I thought I'd share.

19/04/2024

Finally unpacked my haul from my Austin trip! Stuff from STAPLE! 2024, End of an Ear, Uncomon Objects and more!

March 2024 Nix Comics Update:
A little late, I know! You'd think I could have wrote it up more quickly given the that I didn't do much comics related, but here's a partial picture of my B-Day haul from Shake It Records and the Northside Record Fair.

I haven't been posting much art lately. I haven't been inactive as much as unsatisfied.

That said, this quick sketch of Long John Hunter for a 12" painting to go with a test pressing of the Norton Records "Oo Wee Baby!" LP that I've been sitting on is pretty satisfying!

The Nix Comics February 2024 update! Includes such fascinating topics as:

- Conversations with my Inner Demons
- The USPS sucks
- A complete list of the 354 records I listened to.

Can you name some outside-Ohio record stores that have a nice selection of books/zines?

Or vice versa... Comics/zines shops that happen to have records.

24/02/2024

Hey, I'm still going through all my old Nix Comics stuff, making room for new Nix Comics stuff. If you'd like copies of the first four issues of Nix Comics Quarterly for $10, free ship in the US, let me know.

I'd appreciate shares on this. They're good comics, but not doing anyone any good sitting in boxes in my office.

Message me or email: ken at nixcomics dot com to work out the specifics.

17/02/2024

Think you have every Nix Comics comic and zine?

Moving stuff around in my office, I uncovered these guys: five copies of "what have I done for you lately?" Limited sketchbook collection made for the 2019 Indie Comics Fair.

Don't know how many I made. Less than 50. These should be the last copies. Not making any more, neither.

If you want a copy, $10 postage paid in the US, message me and we'll work out the details. First come, first served.

Been doing one page conversations with my inner demons for a while. Today they all had some thoughts about Mojo Nixon.

Compulsor wants to listen to all his records.

The Outsider is remembering a loud weirdo who managed to make it work.

My Vacant Brain is working with me instead of against me today.

The giant concrete block is always silent while sucking in my morbid thoughts.

07/02/2024

One thing I plan on doing with my spot in The Herbert Cooper Gallery is spotlighting some of the great artists I've worked with over the years... like this piece by Matt Wyatt, the original coloring page for his "risen from the grave" poster show a few years back.

05/02/2024

Biggest flaw in the Nix Comics business plan? Selling my books primarily at record stores. Lost Weekend Records is restocked, but I couldn't walk out without some new additions to the collection!

03/02/2024

Today! I'll be there around 5 or 6pm.

First record listened to in 2024.

Think I'll track all of my listening again, like I did a couple years ago ... I know very few people (if any) care, but it helps me feel present.
