But, that's pretty ridiculously cool. Unfortunately, I don't have a child to share this adventure with me. Pretty damn good drawings though. Congrats on the release!
You in that clown suit is priceless Bersercules! I'm afraid to ask whether or not you bought it new or if you just happen to have a clown suit lying around "just in case" Congratulations on being a published illustrator!!
Congratulations Bersercules! Anne told me to c'mon over here and check you out and on my first visit here you are all decked out in a clown suit and a published author. What more can I ask for on my first trip over?
So this was the super secret project you've been working on? That's pretty damn awesome, I had no idea you could in fact draw family friendly material.
Never bought anything from createspace, so I can't vouch for it's quality either. I'm tempted to get a real copy now, perhaps when I'm done I'll donate it to the local library so the kids can read Swashbuckle Chuckle.
You two did an AMAZING job on this book!! Apparently you guys are quite the team. :) I can't wait until I get my hands on copy so my baby boy can point at the pictures and scream for one shoe kangaroo!
This is actually amazing Herc, I find it hilarious how awesome you look in the outfit. You have no idea how cool I find it that you've illustrated this book with Pat, seriously hoping it takes off and becomes a roaring success, you deserve it buddy, I'm not a child and even I want a copy!
I had already bought the book kindle one. My kids love it. Pretty different and loved your cartoons, I know who ha e talent but this is just awesome. You are theclown villian there? Never knew that clown pirate was your selfportrait
Love that costume! Congrats to you and Pat on being published! This must be quite the moment for you guys! I wish you much success! Can I trust your book in the hands of my children, though? That is the question! lol
Oddly enough you can trust me and Pat with your children! Pats story is quite the kid friendly romp! and my art has no negative/inapropreate themes! Fun for the whole family! (unlike our blogs!)
You know it's kinda funny seeing you introduce this in your blog. like, this is a pretty adult blog, children's book.. but you gotta advertise! Hope it works well, glad to see you're drawing in different places!
It looks like you and Pat Hatt have taken a page out of the playbook of the legendary Harvey Pekar (the subject of one of my favorite movies "American Splendor"). I hope you do not have to wait as long as Harvey did to get the accolades you guys deserve, however.
I just have to say that I love your desktop background. I mean...I love it on YOUR computer. Nonetheless, cheers and congratulations to the both of ye!
I'm so glad to see this, Herc! Not just as a fellow pair of collaborators, but as two guys who enjoy what you and Pat each do. I'm gonna snag one right now! Very nicely done!
I'm not going to lie, that costume is terrifying... lol I love the enthusiasm though!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like my enthusiasm!
Deletethat's awesome buddy. a3
ReplyDeleteDammit what happened to the fountain?!
ReplyDeleteBut, that's pretty ridiculously cool. Unfortunately, I don't have a child to share this adventure with me. Pretty damn good drawings though. Congrats on the release!
I guess you'll never know what happened to the fountain!... inless you end up having kids and buy a copy!
DeleteYou in that clown suit is priceless Bersercules! I'm afraid to ask whether or not you bought it new or if you just happen to have a clown suit lying around "just in case" Congratulations on being a published illustrator!!
ReplyDeleteI bought it years ago on a whim and even used it in a humourous video I made years ago. I kept it over the years "just in case!"
DeleteThanks! I like being a published illustrator!
Congratulations Bersercules! Anne told me to c'mon over here and check you out and on my first visit here you are all decked out in a clown suit and a published author. What more can I ask for on my first trip over?
DeleteThanks, Anne =)
Glad I was able to make a good first impression!
DeleteEpic pics!
ReplyDeleteEpic comment!
DeleteWant me to pin him to the wall? lol
DeleteSo this was the super secret project you've been working on? That's pretty damn awesome, I had no idea you could in fact draw family friendly material.
ReplyDeleteIt takes all my strength but yes I can draw family friendly material... sometimes.
Deleteoh my eyes!
ReplyDeleteWell done on getting published! As I don't have any children, I don't think I'll be buying a copy, but good luck in your endeavours.
ReplyDeleteYou look so adorable. I want to buy you and cuddle with you when I watch a scary movie.
ReplyDeleteThat is the greatest comment I have ever gotten! You made my day!
DeleteI hope it's smashing success.
ReplyDeleteIt's unfortunate that you haven't seen a copy.
I haven't seen a printed copy but I do know what the book looks like! I made the cover and inside cover and drew and formated all the pages!
DeleteNever bought anything from createspace, so I can't vouch for it's quality either. I'm tempted to get a real copy now, perhaps when I'm done I'll donate it to the local library so the kids can read Swashbuckle Chuckle.
ReplyDeleteThats a good idea! I might have to get a few copies and send some to the local libraries around where I live!
DeleteYou two did an AMAZING job on this book!! Apparently you guys are quite the team. :) I can't wait until I get my hands on copy so my baby boy can point at the pictures and scream for one shoe kangaroo!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope he and kids everywhere enjoy the book!
DeleteThis is actually amazing Herc, I find it hilarious how awesome you look in the outfit. You have no idea how cool I find it that you've illustrated this book with Pat, seriously hoping it takes off and becomes a roaring success, you deserve it buddy, I'm not a child and even I want a copy!

ReplyDeleteYay! Glad to hear you bought a copy! haha! No the pirate wasn't a self portrait! But maybe he should have been!
DeleteLove that costume! Congrats to you and Pat on being published! This must be quite the moment for you guys! I wish you much success! Can I trust your book in the hands of my children, though? That is the question! lol
ReplyDeleteLmao @nellie's comment!

Well done! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteBTW, orange and green are your colours.
Thanks! Yay! Now I know what colours suit me!
DeleteJohn Wayne Gacy?
ReplyDelete... yes...
DeleteDon't think I didn't see your desktop wallpaper.
ReplyDeleteOkay.
DeleteThat is possibly the best desktop background I have ever seen..... Also, you look simply stunning in that outfit!
ReplyDeleteYou should email me a copy of your desktop wallpaper so I can change mine :)
ReplyDeleteYou know it's kinda funny seeing you introduce this in your blog. like, this is a pretty adult blog, children's book.. but you gotta advertise! Hope it works well, glad to see you're drawing in different places!
ReplyDeleteI figure adults have kids!
DeleteHey Swashbuckler. I'd love to promote your book on my site if you're interested.
ReplyDeleteSure, that sounds like a good idea!

ReplyDeleteyep he's building his evil empire!
DeleteIt looks like you and Pat Hatt have taken a page out of the playbook of the legendary Harvey Pekar (the subject of one of my favorite movies "American Splendor"). I hope you do not have to wait as long as Harvey did to get the accolades you guys deserve, however.
ReplyDeleteWho's this Pat Hatt guy, the cat feels so offended...hahaha...the orange and green suits you but that wall paper it's blinding..hahahaha
ReplyDeleteI made up the Pat Hatt character! And I hope the cat don't hurt me!
DeleteLOL Love that desktop background!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it!

ReplyDeleteSounds good!
DeleteCan I just say, picture 3; that is the thrusted jaw of a true comic book hero. Most excellent. Oh and congrats at exploiting your skills successfully!

Thanks! and if people say thrusted enough I'm sure it will become a word!
