BOOK INFO!

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY AND I GOT YOU A PRESENT

As the year is slowly unfolding and I've been planning future endeavors, one thing I've been thinking about a lot is L.A.W.L.S. and how I want to get back to it. When I got this book printed I almost immediately went on that hiatus due to personal issues and unfortunately didn't really do anything to celebrate it's release or even let people know about it. That was partly due to the fact that if I wasn't releasing new content it felt weird pushing a book that wasn't relevant.

That being said, my comics are back on track and the release of new strips from L.A.W.L.S. Volume 2 are on the horizon! I'd like to get Volume 1 in as many hands as possible before I start so you guys can all see the updated art (that unfortunately is not online) and read the little commentaries I included under all the strips to give some insight into what I was thinking while writing Volume 1.

I'm really excited to start posting Volume 2 strips (hopefully in the next few weeks) as this next part of the story explores a lot more character development and some visually interesting stuff. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy this sale! It's a big one!</p>

About The Book

"Come along on an adventureously awkward journey with the story's main characters Joseph, Autumn, Cadence, and her pet monster Rudy, as they find themselves in the midst of a world of intrigue. While every character may have their own motivation of joining the party, one thing's for sure, they all seem to have it in for Joseph.

This comic is a mysterious romantic comedy with themes of pop culture, music, classic video games, and even a hint of magic lore. In this universe, animals can talk, whales can fly, and hats can have a deviously snarky attitude towards humans."

Pre-Order LAWLS Volume one here: [link]


If you don't know this already, I'm working to put together my first collected volume of comics from my webcomic L.A.W.L.S. [link] This Volume, which will compile my first two years of the comic, is called "Choking on Air." Here is a brief synopsis:

Come along on an adventurously
awkward journey with the stories main characters Joseph, Autumn,
Cadence and her pet monster Rudy, as they find themselves in the midst of a world of intrigue. While every character may have their own motivation for joining the party, one thing's for sure they all seem to have it in for Joseph.

This comic is a mysterous
romantic comedy with themes of pop culture, music, classic video games and even a hint of magic lore. In this universe animals can talk, whales can fly, and hats can have a deviously snarky attitude towards humans!



Here are some quote about my book from some webcomic friends that will actually be printed on the back cover:

"It has gallons of talking hats with teeth, dapper whales, angry rocker chicks, and a really ugly (some might say cute, but i don't) monster thing that has a terrible speech impediment. Now, how can you go wrong with that?"

-Scott Ferguson, creator of Nerf This [link]

"The art is top notch and the writing is... spectacularly demented."

-James Grant, artist of Two Lumps [link]

"LAWLS is the most (adverb)ly (adjective) comic on the Internet. I for one would (verb) myself if Denis ever stopped (verb)ing it." Fill in the blanks however you like. You're welcome.

-Joel Watson, creator of HijiNKS Ensue [link]

"You'll find hammerspace hats, vampiric furries, villainous pop stars, and a platonic ménage à trois of heroes all rendered in Denis' eclectic style. L.A.W.L.S. it up, fuzzball."

-Ryan Hudson, creator of ChannelATE [link]


Anyway, This book is completely self published and I've been working day and night trying to get it together to ship out by March! If you like what I do and want to support me, please consider pre-order one!
