A Holiday Hiatus

July 3rd, 2009

photo-143You guys are gonna hate me, but I need some time off. I’ve worked myself into a tired heap the last month and I need a breather.

I do have the week buffer for all three comics nearly done, but I’m not going to finish and post them until Monday. This will allow two things:

A. If I wait until Monday, I’ll have an even larger buffer to work with.

2. I won’t have to rush out sub-par comics just to get something posted.

I greatly want to continue on with all four comics I do, but to avoid a complete burnout, I need a battery recharge.

Plus, I haven’t seen my wife or dogs for more than two hours in three weeks.

I understand your frustration and you have my permission to stew all you want over my apparent laziness and lack of work ethic. It’s a Holiday, so enjoy!

I wish all Americans a happy 4th and all non-Americans a happy weekend. We’ll revisit all continuing storylines and ridicularity on Monday.

Thanks and BBQs,

Corey “FRS” Pandolph

FRS Apparel spotted on both coasts!

July 2nd, 2009

The word is getting out and supplies are dwindling, as the country embraces Fake Rockstar merch! From NYC:

To Los Angeles:

And how easy it is to spot where each photo was shot! Static Internet pics aren’t the only media enjoying the celebrity of Fake Rockstar wear… See if you can spot the FRS T-shirt in this wonderful piece of viral video from Drink at Work’s Ned Ehrbar:

Get on the train people! Cause this engine’s leaving the station and we only have so much room in our caboose!

Uh… YEAH!

Got some pics/videos of you, a friend or a pet in FRS Brand duds? Email them to corey@fakerockstar.com. We’ll make you Internet famous! Just like what’s-her-name!

If you would indulge my efforts to establish a buffer…

July 2nd, 2009

makitarotarybuffer9227cFor the last couple weeks. I’ve been trying to build a good buffer of comics… At least a week, but I’d really like two. Yesterday, I was able to pencil a week of each comic and if you guys can hold on, I can ink, color and post those today.

I apologize for sacrificing regular comic posts to work on a buffer, but if I can pull it off, we’ll al benefit.

If you’re looking for a reason to stick around the Fake Rockstar Universe while you wait for new comics and posts, remember that we’re offing free domestic shipping on all orders in the Fake Rockstar Shop this week. The deal ends at midnight on Friday, July 3rd, so now’s you chance.

Once again, I appreciate everyone’s continued patience and readership. I am very excited to be able to get all four comics, blog posts, and cool clothes out to you guys. I feel very close to tasting a bit of success from all my hard work.

Delay in updates today

June 29th, 2009

2964989221_08511d0087_oSorry for the delay in comics, today, folks. I have some freelance work that needs to come first. With the wild economic ride my life has been taking, paying gigs need to come first. I hope to have all three comics of the Fake Rockstar universe updated later this evening

We should be back on track for regular updates beginning tomorrow.

Thanks, as always for your patience and your readership.

Fake Rock on,

-FRS

UPDATE: All comics are updated and accounted for! Choose your Ridicularity™: Greene With Envy, Barkeater Lake and/or TOBY, Robot Satan. Thanks to all for showing patience in this time of horrible crisis!

FRS Interview with the Daily Cartoonist

June 29th, 2009

tdc

Alan Gardner of the Daily Cartoonist boosted my ego lest week by throwing some questions my way for his fine blog. It’s a short piece, offering a cryptic, if not informative look at my insane lifestyle.

Here’s the link, if you missed it last week: FRS on TDC.

If you’re in the cartoon and comics industry, Alan’s coverage of the downward spiral of our industry is second to none. Also, the entertainment value of the comments section is priceless.

This week’s Fake Rockstar Adventures

June 28th, 2009

For those of you unaware, Saturdays in the Barkeater Lake world have been a look into the real fake world of this tired Fake Rockstar. It’s sorta like, “What if all the characters I created suddenly existed and worked for me?”

Thin premise, but thin things (money, ice, patience) is what my life is all about. Enjoy this week’s episode, also found at the BL GoComics page and Barkeater Lake’s website.

A rare good day

June 26th, 2009

Things have been crappy, no doubt about it. Sales are down, work is scarce and I’ve even cut back on my bacon/whiskey and beer intake. Dealing with the mental strain of possible financial ruin is one thing, but trying to deal with said problems while attempting so much funny is like climbing a mountain made of shit.

So when I have a good day, I make a note of it. Yesterday, at least on the comics front, was a good day. I almost never laugh at my own stuff, and I hate the idea of bragging on my talents, but I must say, these three comics are good… And that makes me feel good.

TOBY, Robot Satan

Greene With Envy

Barkeater Lake

As effed up as things may seem, I still get to do something cool everyday. I hope you guys are all enjoying the recent ridicularity™ and I hope I can keep providing it. If you find yourself giggling regularly at this Fake Rockstar’s work, donations and sales of product in the FRS Shop go a long way to keeping the jokes funny and regular. Either way, your continued readership is appreciated.

Cheers and cheap beers,

Corey “FRS” Pandolph
