Rocking For Jesus!

January 27th, 2012 | by Rick Worley

Alright, so the last couple strips have discussed Prester’s favorite Christian Rock band, Dove of Love, and I thought I’d post this colored version of their poster and talk a little bit more about what the band is like.

I’m hoping to make an EP with a couple of their songs that I could sell at comic conventions, or maybe include in a future book of my comics, and probably also have available online somehow.  I have some ideas about there sound, and I can probably write their lyrics, but I don’t play any musical instruments or anything like that, so I’ve been talking to musically talented people I know about collaborating on this.  If anybody out there is interested, email me and who knows, we’ll see what happens.  The sound I’m thinking of for Dove of Love is kind of a 90′s grunge band sound, only like kind of bad, low-budget imitation grunge.  It’s supposed to be a parody album and funny, but I’d like the songs to be strong enough that it’s actually enjoyable for people to listen to.  Like I was saying about Dove of Love before, the idea is that I’m joking when I make fun of these things, but Dove of Love doesn’t know that they’re joking.  It’s a fine line there.  I think if the songwriting is strong enough and the songs have strong melodies and everything, this could be an awesome little EP.

As the whole Dove of Love part of things develops, I’ll be posting to the Facebook page for the band , and also the Tweeting for them at twitter.com/doveofloveband , so follow those if you’re curious :)

Slight delay before the next posts

Alright people, sorry for the delay, but I’m taking this week off of posting on my website, and I’ll resume next Monday. I’m writing things, and also have been having problems with my internet, and a few different reasons, and there’s a part of the next comic I’m going to be posting that’s a bit more complicated than usual, and I want to get it right. Hopefully it’ll make sense when things start going up.

I’m writing several things at once, and sometimes the way I write these things is out of order, as has probably been apparent on this website in the past.  So, the comic that I want to post next and what I’m actually writing at the moment are two separate things, and I think it will be better for both if I just regroup for a few days and get further ahead on the work.  Basically, I’m being a moody artist about all of this and trying to follow my inspiration as best as I can.  There’s a plan to these things, though, and a reason that I post them in the order I do and why sometimes it makes sense to me to wait in between posts, so stick with it, and there’s a whole ton of new stuff coming up soon that I hope you’ll enjoy :)

Interview With Me and a Review of My Book

Some updates and stuff.

Last night there was a report of Bent Con on the radio show IMRU that talked about me, Northwest Press and some other cartoonists quite a bit, you can hear the show archived here .  They also played part of an audio interview with me Linda Birch did at Bent Con, with me talking about my comics and sex fetishes, and it’s pretty entertaining to listen to if you’re curious.  You can hear the clip of just the audio interview with me here .  They were also giving away a signed copy of my book and I believe one of my Happiness is a Boy Who Swallows t-shirts, along with some other comics.  I’m not sure if they’ve given them all out yet, but the way to try to win one was to go and Like the Facebook page for their show and say you wanted one of the items, so if you want to try you can head over there and do that.

There was also a new review of my book by Greg McElhatton at Read About Comics , and a Bent Con roundup report with a brief profile of me on the JLHLS website , so check those out.

If all these reactions have you dying for a copy of my amazing book- And who wouldn’t be?- the digital version is on sale for a limited time in iTunes , and you can get it for only $5!  What? Amazing, I know!

Also, I’m gonna keep reminding periodically, if you’d like to stay up to date on things like this and updates involving my comics, plus also me going on about random stuff, you can find lots of that by following me at twitter.com/bloodoftheland , and you can also get updates about my comics by Liking the Facebook page for them !
