The Spooky World of Chris Ringler
Enter a strange world of Blogs, Books, Podcasts, and More.
Day two and another epic and fun day. So much fun. So many people…so few sales. It’s always a drag not to sell but, darn, it was such a fun day that it’s hard, very hard, to be bitter. Saturday is always the huge day of the con and this was one of the biggest… Continue reading Motorcity Comic Con 2010 Day Two
Can I tell you how much I love the first day of comic con? Love it. It is like a dysfunctional family reunion where you are all smelly and weird but never have to deal with the drama a family does. Great! Setting up is a drag, a huge drag, but darn is it fun… Continue reading Motorcity Comic Con 2010 Day 1
Hey kids, if you are a nerd, like me, and have a notion, check out Motorcity Comic Con, out in Novi, MI. They seem to have put together a pretty big show so that's gonna be a lot of fun. I will be there all weekend with my lady-friend selling my books The Meep Sheep… Continue reading Comic Con Weekend…
The last thing you ever want to hear when you create something is a negative reaction. Sure, you steel yourself against the inevitability of the comments but nothing quite salves the sting once the arrows are loosed. Nothing really prepares you for what people will say. And as an ‘artist’ you have to get over… Continue reading But In the End…So What?
Influence I wrote a blog a while about the notion of legacy and what it means. And I want a legacy, you want a legacy, we all want one. We want to leave that behind with what we do. More important than a legacy though is influence. Say, Charles Dickens left a legacy with his… Continue reading Influence
Once in a while it's good to re-introduce yourself so, hi, my name's Chris, I am a writer, reviewer, blogger, and arty-type. Hi there. Look around here and you'll find my movie reviews, some stories, some art, and other fun stuff. To the right there are the links to my art and books, and where… Continue reading Well, How Do Ya Do?
So I am conflicted. I cannot tell if it's the movie industry I hate, or the movie-going public. I can't decide because I am not sure who to blame for the mediocrity both in theaters and at home, but worse, to me, is the mediocrity that comes before it all. Movie history goes in cycles,… Continue reading Movie Sign
Ok, not that anyone noticed, but I haven't been as active on here this week, and for that I apologize to, well, no one as there are not a lot of people poking around here. I mean, sure, some of you go and peek in the garbage but there isn't much to find there, I… Continue reading So Where the Heck Have You Been?
Today is a bit of a special day so I figured I would give you a taste of The Meep Sheep so you can see why I am so excited about it. This is from the story Ashley Pickles and the Bumble Kitties. He frowned and sighed again, kicking an acorn into the… Continue reading THE MEEP SHEEP sample…
So closes the Motorcity Nightmares convention of 2010, and with it came some very harsh realities, the harshest being that if I am going to do conventions, I need to choose them better. See, I have been doing cons for years because, as an indie artist and writer you have to get your work in… Continue reading Motorcity Nightmares Day 3 (wrap-up and thoughts)
I think the last thing you want to hear as any manner of artist is that your stuff is akin to that of, say, an eight year old. Lucky for me, that was what I heard today, and when I told the woman that no, the art was NOT done by an eight year… Continue reading Motorcity Nightmares Day 2
Well, now that The Meep Sheep is out you’d think the heavy lifting is done, right? Ha, I wish that was the case. Getting the book out is the big deal, that’s the pat yourself on the back work, but the thankless work comes now, and that’s with supporting the book. Now is where… Continue reading So Now What?
Press Release – The Meep Sheep by Chris Ringler Dark clouds have formed in the Kingdom of Man, clouds of dissent, doubt, and worse yet, fear. After a century of peace and sunshine darkness has come to this land, and with it the rumors of unrest, and unless a young queen can stop this brewing… Continue reading The Meep Sheep – press release
