Update: Landlord 'Holiday' Release

Since our return back in October, we’ve been telling you guys about the next step for our beloved Landlord. We’ve given you the title of his next adventure and several glimpses of parts I and II, but today we are proud to announce the release dates for all three parts of Holiday. The Landlord will return this April with part I scheduled to drop on April 20, 2014. Parts II and III will then follow on a weekly basis, concluding the first week of May. Thank you all for your continued support, especially those of you who shared what you received in our free giveaway. If you did not participate in our first giveaway back in December, don’t worry we will be having another one soon except this time one of the perks will be an early release of Holiday for those who participate. So stay tuned to our Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for updates.

For more details on Holiday check out our first creator update here.

Creator Update: 1.2

The weekend has come and gone and with it we wanted to give you all an update on what’s going on in the world of Blimp.

As you all know, the Landlord is returning and as mentioned in the first update it will pick up where Collection Day left off. The real question though is, WHEN CAN WE SEE IT?! Well we are proud to announce that Part I of Holiday will be released this spring. The series is being finalized as we speak and we are truly excited for you all to see it. More news on the series in the coming weeks.

Also this past week we sent out our final round of giveaways. Those of you who received one, we would love some feedback (good or bad). So share a picture of what you received with us on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram. Or send us an angry email at blimpcomics@gmail.com.

Finally, we wanted to remind everyone that we are still in search of an artist. That being said please share our Artist Wanted post and get the word out. Please remember that we are not looking for a big name hotshot artist (although that would be AWESOME); we are looking for a good comic artist who’s as passionate about the medium as we are. Amateur, professional, it doesn’t matter just email us to get the ball rolling.

As always, check out our Facebook and follow us on twitter for regular updates on all this and more. 

The Landlord: Collection Day

The Landlord Collection Day Parts 1-3

Creator Update: 1.1

As this weekend comes to an end, I can't help but look back on all the craziness of the past couple weeks. Blimp officially came back, New York Comic Con 2013 came and went, Blimp's artist search was announced, and the Landlord is returning!

Through all this craziness I feel the need to give everyone a little update on the universe and what we know thus far. In Collection Day we are introduced to Mick, a landlord in a run down area of a city that he sees as "dirty in more ways than one." A city that is rotting from the inside not because of fear or terror, but hopelessness. Through out the three pages we see how Mick addresses a common issue in his building, rent. His black and white view of the world makes him stubborn and what some might call a little extreme at times, but he doesn't want to fall into the same trap the rest of the city has. This refusal to give in takes him to a dark place in Collection Day and we are excited to continue his journey through this gray city.

In Holiday we will dive further into Mick's world and see a different side of our gritty and mysterious landlord. This three part series will pick up where we left off in Collection Day and show more of the city and its inhabitants. News of its exact release will be announced in the coming weeks!

Finally, I would just like to thank everyone for the support. Here at Blimp we are excited about where we are going, but these past few weeks have shown us that we are not the only ones. So thanks again to those of you who visit us daily or like/share our posts on Facebook/Twitter.  You guys make what we do a lot easier and we greatly appreciate that.

Every so often we will have these "creator updates" just to give you guys a recap of what's going on in the Blimp universe. As always keep an eye on our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for regular updates and check back here at the blog for the big news.

Artist Wanted!!

Last week Blimp returned and one of the many announcements was their artist search. This search has a dual purpose. First, to find an artist for stories by Blimps creators, Jason Hulse and Joe Regina. Someone who is; capable and has experience with drawing comic pages from original stories, reliable, and enthusiastic about comics just as much as we are.

One of the benefits of being creator owned is that through out the process style or creativity will not be restricted but encouraged. The Blimp universe is still being shaped and we are looking for someone to take part in its creation and evolution.

The second part of the search is simply for comic book artists and all other creative folk (writers, sculptors, designers, colorists, inkers etc.) who are passionate about the medium.

Blimp is a creator owned and operated comic producer so we are looking for individuals who enjoy comics and have a basic understanding of them. Amateur, professional, doesn’t matter but understand since we are creator owned funds are limited, enjoyment would ideally be payment enough but we understand and are willing to discuss, especially as Blimp grows and our financial situation changes.

Please send samples/portfolios/anything you got, to us at blimpcomics@gmail.com.  

Post-NYCC 2013

The four day celebration of comics, games, movies, and all the other things we adore has come to an end. New York Comic Con was incredible, from the insane amount of comic vendors to the exclusive releases, appearances, and announcements the con delivered in every way. 

Blimp was fortunate enough to be part of all the excitement and had giveaways through out the weekend. Hopefully you were lucky enough to receive one of the many cards, or "NYCC 2013 Blimp Bags." Those of you who follow us on twitter and instagram got a taste of all the excitement but in case you missed it here's a one picture sum-up for the weekend that was NYCC 2013. 

The Landlord Returns

Continuing with the excitement of today, Blimp is proud to announce a new tale in the life of Mick Matthews. Our landlord returns in Holiday, a three part series that follows the harsh and mysterious  events of Collection Day. More on this coming soon so follow us on twitter and check back here for the latest announcements. Whoops, almost forgot...
