Hey folks!

The perks for the Indiegogo campaign I ran back in the middle of the year still haven’t been sent out, but that will happen soon.  In the meantime, I’m re-doing the 9 character portraits to reflect the new look of the comic (and also because I think the older ones look really strange to me now).  The background remains the same, so I’m just spending a little bit of time on the characters.  Mainly, I’ve used them as warm-ups before I begin the workday.  (Note:  the other prints offered for the campaign will remain the same.)

I thought it would be fun to show you the finished Ross and Nicki.  Also, this is your first look at the way Nicki appears in the new style!

Ross Boston will return from hiatus after the holidays.  :)

Hey folks!  There are only 7 HOURS LEFT to donate to the Ross Boston Episode 2 campaign over on Indiegogo!  Help make Episode 2 the best it can be!

Thanks!  ~Drew

Hey folks!

Here is the painted version of the prototype of the badge (available as a perk for donating to my campaign). The final version will have less blemishes and I hope to get a paint that will make it even shinier, but I thought it would be cool to show you how it’s coming along!

You have only 12 HOURS left to donate to the campaign for the second episode of my comic, so hop on over and check it out!!!

Hey folks!  There are only 14 hours left to donate to the Ross Boston Episode 2 indiegogo campaign!  Help make comics happen by contributing!

Hey folks!

After almost exactly a year (it’ll be a year on Sunday the 17th, actually), the first episode of “Ross Boston” comes to a close!  (And yes, Nicki will be keeping her hair tied back from now on.)

This is actually a very proud moment for me, if I’m being totally honest.  When I started the comic, I wasn’t sure where it would be in a year, if I would lose interest, if it would fail to catch the attention of anyone at all.  But generally speaking, the year has been pretty kind to the comic.  Admittedly, I had hoped to have Episode 1 finished long before now, but…what’ll ya do.

Ross Boston is a story-based comic and I realize it can be tough to want to come back to read it every week.  This is one of the benefits of my Indiegogo campaign, of course (read below).  I have every intention of upping the amount of updates a couple weeks after Episode 2 begins.  In any case, what I’m trying to say is, the comic actually reads much better if you read it all at once, which is why I implore you to do so if you haven’t already!  You can start at page one right here if you like!

I announced this week that the name of the comic is being shortened simply to “Ross Boston.”  You can read more about that decision by clicking the image below.  What’s important to note is that the URL will also be changing from “supergayadventures.com” to “rossbostoncomic.com,” though the former will redirect to the latter.

If you haven’t already checked out the campaign for the second episode of Ross Boston, you really should head on over and take a look.  There are only 35 hours left to donate as of posting this (meaning it ends tomorrow!), so PLEASE consider donating, or at least share the link with your friends and followers in any way possible!  There’s still a lot of ground to cover and all help is immensely appreciated!  Click here or on the image below to view the campaign.

Finally, I am happy to announce that Ross Boston:  Episode 2 will begin on Friday, June 29th.  I’m taking next week off from posting to get things ready and tie up some loose ends on the commissions front.  I appreciate your patience!

Thank you for reading throughout this entire year and I hope that you’ll continue to do so as the story unfolds!  Your readership means the world to me!

Hey folks!

For about 6 months or so now, I’ve been troubled over the name of my webcomic.  I recognized that the comic - in theme and in spirit - would change and evolve, and that ultimately, the current name of “The Super-Gay Adventures of Ross Boston” was going to end up being the joke that no longer made sense.  It’s title may one day hinder it, preventing it from being taken seriously.  Furthermore, it works against the idea of using a largely LGBT-friendly cast without “making a huge deal of it” and then…well, making a huge deal of it in the title.  It just doesn’t make sense.

That is why, effective at the start of Episode 2 of the comic, the name will be changed simply to “Ross Boston” and will be at rossbostoncomic.com.  The current supergayadventures.com will redirect to the new URL, so you shouldn’t have to change your bookmarks or anything, but you can if you like.  If you do, wait for the new URL to be live.  Currently, it is still the old one.  (Side note:  the facebook page will keep the name due to facebook’s rules, but the url is facebook.com/rossboston so this really isn’t a big deal to me.)

The new silver and gold logo is the default, but I have also created a black-and-white version for use on many other materials for when the default doesn’t make sense.  See below:

I went through literally dozens of ideas before I finally settled on the obvious.  At its core, “Ross Boston” is a super hero comic, and most of those take on the name of their hero.  Batman.  Spider-Man.  Wonder Woman.  Thor.  Etc.  It seemed fitting to continue to put the hero’s catchy name in the title, while shedding all of the unimportant and obvious information.

The first episode of “Ross Boston” ends this week, and it is highly likely I’ll be taking next week off of posting to further prepare Episode 2 to begin the following week, including a small handful of website changes - though nothing major beyond the new URL..

As a final and VERY IMPORTANT note, My indiegogo campaign (similar to Kickstarter) for the second episode of “Ross Boston” is almost over with only 3 days left, and I’m still VERY BELOW my proposed goal of $5,000.  If you could please take a look and at least share the link with others on twitter, facebook, etc, that would be most appreciated.  THANK YOU!!!

Hey folks!

As many of you know, I’m currently running an Indiegogo campaign (very similar to Kickstarter) to raise money for the creation of second episode of The Super-Gay Adventures of Ross Boston, my webcomic.  The end goal is $5,000, and with about 10 days left, I am still short $2,731, so I’m not even quite halfway there yet!  That’s where you guys come in to help.

There are quite a few perks available for donating various amounts to the campaign, and one of the higher-up perks is this 11x17”, campaign-exclusive print.  Ordinarily, you’d have to donate at least $130 or more to get it (with a host of other really awesome stuff included), but by reblogging this post, you’ll be entered in a random drawing to win the print!  The rules:

     -One winner will be chosen at random.

     -I will ship internationally, so it doesn’t matter where you live.

     -You may reblog as many times as you like, thus increasing your chances of winning.

     -You MUST leave this text - with all links - intact and allow others the chance to reblog this post, too.  Otherwise, it kinda defeats the purpose.

     -You need to have your ask box open so I can get in touch with you in case you win.  (Alternately, if you have your email or a link to some other means of contacting you available on your tumblr, that’s fine too.)

     -Likes are great, but only reblogs count as an entry into the contest.

So, get to rebloggin’!  And be sure to take a look at the campaign and consider donating.  Remember, every dollar counts, and I could really use your help with this!

Thanks!
