Dead or Worse

Filed under: comics, writing, crazy guy, news — Brendan @ 6:32 pm

SEPTEMBER 23 2008, 2:43PM

There’s danger behind every door, over every hill, on every grim face. In a place that’s half real and half legend, these wretches do what they must to carve out lives in a time when the only choice is to step on others, or be walked on yourself. Every face and every scar has a story if you can stand to look. The lucky die, for the rest, there’s worse.

Watch this space, because artist LUIS BOISVERT and writer BRENDAN PEVERIL are bringing the fucking noise very soon.

LUIS BOISVERT has been a fixture in the local comics scene for years both as an artist and a writer. His fledgeling efforts at both webcomics and self publishing have met with universal praise and brought him no small amount of recognition. After years of honing his craft, the antediluvian art of drawing tits and violence, he’s ready to change the landscape of online comics with his most ambitious project to date.

BRENDAN PEVERIL has been an Internet dirtbag since before you knew what an Internet was. His exploits are many, and though his name may not be a household one, important men grow quiet when he enters a room. He’s dabbled in many things, fiction, comic writing, journalism, blogging, but always with an intensity that usually escapes a mere dilettante. You may not know him now, but you will, and by then it might be too late.

DEAD OR WORSE debuts MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3RD, 2008.

Chatting it up with no one in particular old school, because I’m not cool enough for Twitter.
[23:57] [brendan] Sometimes I feel like the last person on the internet. [23:59] [brendan] Sometimes the internet feels alive, like it's a thinking breathing thing, made up of all kinds of people, and the people each have their own thoughts and motives, and it's awesome. [23:59] [brendan] Sometimes it just feels like I'm looking at cold, dead text. [00:00] [brendan] lost letters written to dead relatives someone left lying around. [00:00] [brendan] I read them anyway, but it feels futile. [09:12] [cp] brendan. [09:12] [cp] this is what you have a blog for.

How tricking people works…

Filed under: cautionary tale, crazy guy, A thought — Brendan @ 11:04 pm

So, some guy made a video of an alien.

Man, if you’re going to make a fake alien video, you’ve got to make it embarrassing. Make it look like something no one would fake. Like, maybe it’s a video of your hideous mongoloid child looking kind of sad because only two other kids showed up at her birthday party (been there, it really is sad) and an alien knocks on the door, but he says he has the wrong house when he sees how lame the party is.

Or, maybe it’s a video of two ugly scabby people having sex, the cameraman making inappropriately aroused sounds. Then, what’s that? Bigfoot is looking through the window and jerkin it? That’s crazy! Then release it, but only release it with the alien part, and just a glimpse of saggy lesion covered ass, so people will be all like, what’s up with that? Then when they make you show them the whole thing, they’ll be astonished by what they’ve seen and won’t notice that bigfoot has a zipper down his back.

Also, bigfoot should not join in. I can’t stress that enough. Just saying that is making me gag.

Last thing, it bears mentioning that he suspected that someone was spying on his daughters, and it took him 5 years to get around to examining the tape closely. FAIL. His teenage daughters are probably old and fat and have three kids each by now. People age differently in Nebraska, don’t ask me how. They could star in my bigfoot sex tape.

I realize that this is old news, but my baby brother has gotten his site going again, and it made me feel shame. He’s not technically the baby, but I think it’s funny to call someone who is bigger than I am and could probably smash my drunk ass like a worm a baby. Also, I paid money to host this thing, what am I doing not posting for three months?

On the Road

Filed under: essays, travel, crazy guy — Brendan @ 4:21 pm

So, I just hit California a couple of days ago. While I was on the road I sent people emails to keep them up to date on where I was and whether or not I was dead. Below the cut there I’ve compiled everything into a readable narrative. It’s like autobiographical flash fiction. You can also read about someone else’s take on the trek here.

not drunk yet

Filed under: writing, for screen, crazy guy, news, disorganized mess — Brendan @ 7:19 pm

So, I’ve been doing this for a year, right? Well, it hasn’t been the best year of my life, but it was better than 2006, I guess. Rather than dwelling on that shit, though, I’m looking forward to 2008. You see, I’ve been taking it easy on the writing for the past couple of weeks, and conducting business. Let me tell you about it.

First off, the ironic bit. I go back home from LA to discover that I’ve got film contacts. Early in this new year I’m going to write something, we’re leaning toward a nasty little horror/black comedy. More on that as it develops.

The novel is still underway. I’ve had time to really discuss it with my co-writer, and it’s big, it’s good, and it actually feels like a real thing that I’m working on. It’s still a lot of work, but once I stop feeling so burnt out and I get back into the swing of writing, it really shouldn’t be too long before it’s written and being shipped to agents.

Comics. I’m starting to rethink A Deeper Shade of Gone, just because I’ve found it nearly impossible to get anyone else to be interested in that. I have, however, found somebody who wants to publish comics but doesn’t really draw or write them, so we’re discussing starting a label. We’ll see how that goes. I’ve got three reasonably large projects in various stages to launch this thing with, so I’ll be working my ass off on those. They’ve even got artists on board! Huzzah! Hopefully before 2009 you’ll all get to hold in your hands the first Peveril brothers’ (all three, not just Shamus and I) joint project. The brother gimmick works, so we figure we should take advantage.

As always, I’m still producing the short fiction and shopping it around. I had a breakthrough today that I think might get a piece that I like, but nobody wants to print, published.

That’s it for now, I guess. The third page of Death’s Children is up too, I’ll probably upload the last on before I leave Halifax. I think I’ll pop up in the next couple of days to tell you all about the webcomics I discovered in the past year too. LOOK FORWARD TO IT!

I was just thinking; What would an electric (not electronic) abacus look like? I bet it would be awesome.

Pieces…

Filed under: pooping, only dreaming, crazy guy, pieces, A thought — Brendan @ 6:25 pm

I keep blank paper next to my bed, because sometimes I’ll think of something while I’m falling asleep, or I’ll wake up with just fragments of a dream that I don’t want to lose. I’ve managed to save some really good ideas this way. Of course, sometimes, like Friday night, I save things like this:

The most annoying thing? When I can live on visible light alone. When you can barely see something, there I am, humping your eye. I am everywheres.

I’m a genius. I wasn’t drunk either. I felt sick all day, Friday, so no drinking.

Unprecedented Productivity Strikes Local Writer

Filed under: comics, writing, crazy guy, news, disorganized mess — Brendan @ 11:19 pm

So, I just finished the first typed draft (meaning the second draft, but the first I’ll ever show someone) of Hallowed. The whole goddamned thing. Holy shit. It will still be a while before the likes of you has a chance to read it, unless you’re unlucky enough to be in my reading team. Of course, even they don’t all read it.

Whatever, though. Here’s a list of what I still need to do:

Find an artist

Figure out how to write a treatment

Trick the artist into producing a few pages for the treatment

Write a treatment

Perform oral sex on the editorial staff of one or more comic publishers

Howl my wordless anguish at the sky

Choke the living shit out of the artist for being a flaky artist

Profit (a very small profit, barely worth mentioning, really)

If you’re an artist who wants a piece of Hallowed, or perhaps a member of the editorial staff of a comic company who wants oral sex, email me.

I’ve got time for a little bit more work related news.

The novel is happening! Seriously. I’m surprised at how much I’m writing, and how real it feels. Creeps me out, really.

Gone is grinding along. Why don’t we all stab Shamus, for not being a little quicker with that. Hell, I’ve got work from other artists waiting in the wings for Shamus to hurry up. Seriously, dude.

There’s a new project! A magazine type thing, which will happen as my credit limit allows in the real world. I think I may have to self publish, on account of it being three shades of batshit insane. On the bright side, I think it will probably make so little money that I won’t actually have to pay taxes for it. Sweeeet.

Working…

Filed under: cautionary tale, writing, the future, crazy guy, disorganized mess — Brendan @ 12:18 am

Let’s see, I’m tired as all get out, so I’ll bullet point this:

Hallowed: Slowly nearing completion.

A Deeper Shade of Gone: I’ve got some artists lined up, and I’m considering hiring someone to stab Shamus if he doesn’t show me some more pages soon. I’ve even started a couple of new scripts, so there should be lots of content soon (in theory).

The Martyr: Tentative title of an upcoming collaboration with an associate from my past. It will probably be a while, but I’ll leak a page here and there. Expect a comic consisting almost entirely of people screaming at each other and getting kicked in the face.

Novel: As yet un-named, and kind of unfocused; you’ll hear more in the future!

So very tired.

Fast breaking news: cutting your hair makes you look less like a serial killer.

Damn, that’s not a good look. I look like Trent Reznor going through withdrawal.

It’s not much of an improvement, but at least it doesn’t look like I’m going to eat you.

I’ll post a work update (there’s some actual news on that front) and a review later.
