HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Posted on October 30, 2015 by twogargs

Halloween is our favourite time here at Two Gargoyles (and with mascots like ours, who could blame us?) and so Hawkstone and Riverdale teamed up with Thunder and Code Monkey to bring you a very special Halloween message!

Stay safe while collecting candy, be kind to black cats and Happy New Year to all the Witches out there!

MIDDLE OF THE WEEK!

Posted on October 7, 2015 by twogargs

Hi Folks– it’s the middle of the week here at Two Gargoyles, and some housekeeping is in order!

Firstly, although I’ve set the Diaperman Graphic Novel to post one page a day on the Comics Archive page, glitches happen– and I realized it had skipped a couple of days (maybe it was tired?). Thus, today there are THREE new pages posted of your favourite diapered superhero (And really, if you know of any other diapered superhero currently in existence, I would be very surprised). However, if you’re tired of waiting and want to see the entire graphic novel in its entirety (including artwork and covers not included in the daily posts) it’s available (digitally and in print) via the good folks at Indyplanet!

Secondly, I’ve ordered some new items from our Redbubble store— apparently the Superboobs and Supergroins continue to be popular. Due to demand, I’ve started experimenting with Superboob T-shirts– notably, Wonder Woman (see and follow our Instagram for photo). Man or woman, puff out your chest proudly with super-pride! Now, the t-shirts are currently only available through Vistaprint and are special-order items. I’m looking into finding a good quality vendor online where you can order your own, but until I do you’ll have to email me for an order (use the Contact Us page).

Thirdly, if you’ve seen the Two Gargoyles table at conventions, you’ll know that we do Gargoyles Magnets— if you haven’t seen them, they’re available on our Etsy Store, there are two series of magnets available!

Finally, you may have noticed an absence of THUNDER on Two Gargoyles lately, and at conventions. Expect news about our half-Norse, half-Canadian, Super-Polite superhero later this week!

Calgary Red & White Club Show!

Posted on September 14, 2015 by twogargs

Although it was a small, one-day show, the Calgary Red and White Expo was great for Twogargs’ sales! Although larger shows may offer more traffic for Artist’s Alley, smaller, more intimate shows give one a much greater chance of connecting with one’s audience! Sales were good, and having time and space to chat with fans and peers alike made this show a “must-do” for the future. Already looking into next September’s show!

Highlights were: sharing a table with Kyle Burles — he has such good energy and as the artist on Gloaming, adds an extra bit of oomph to sales (and fan discussions of ) our comic at the table.

There’s a definite community “feel” to the show; our group of friends have been attending it for years now– this was our first time exhibiting at it. Familiar faces, veterans of the comic and toy collecting communties, and family events like a kid’s costume show (but seriously, guys, TURN DOWN YOUR MICROPHONE)! It was a good feeling and a great way for kids to get a little break from the hubbub of “Back to School.”

My personal highlight? I MET BAYMAX. So there.

BIG WEBSITE ANNOUNCEMENT!

You may already be aware that twogargs.com is updating, going through some changes. Part of the reason is that, starting today, Twogargs will be making its comics AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING ONLINE. Yup, you read that correctly– there is now a “Comics Archive” link at the top of the home page that will take you to our comics page where you can read what you’ve been missing or re-visit old favourites! I’ve started with Diaperman, the comic that started it all– I’m posting pages from the Complete Series Graphic Novel– including the writer/artist commentary written by me, Michael McAdam, and original artist Mike Rieger.

I’ll be posting a new page every day so you can follow along. Also, there’s a series category for “Behind the Scenes” — in which one-shots like “Two Gargoyles Texting” will pop up every so often! If you like randomness, you’ll like Behind the Scenes.

Onward and upward!

–Michael
