Bear Versus Second Batch

Yes, The Bear will be back very soon! My plan is to release his next adventure every Tues and Thurs starting in August! I guarantee it’ll be epic as hell.

New Game Start!

I’ve got some ’splaining to do though! I know I was all hyping this new comic that was supposed to start in May. Then May came and went and I said Nothing. But you see, The Bear took over my brain and ate all my other projects. Literally. I jumped right into BQ2 instead, putting that other comic on the back burner.

So it’s all bears all the time now. Starting in August! This time he’s stuck in a Zelda-sorta game and I am slowly driving myself insane as the art for it is just nuts. Taking it to the next level, so to speak.

You Will Hate These Guys

Don’t fret, your desire to strangle each and every one of these guys is very much intended. A fun game: pick the most annoying one and let me know.

Hmm….wonder what they are for. Their ocular traits are likely a giveaway.

It’s the first sampling of Bear Versus paintings I’ve done for the Bear Quest Signed Edition. (Available Here!) These were great fun to do. I could spend a whole year painting Bear Vs Random Stuff 8 hours a day. Who will hire me to do such a thing?

A couple got water damage (for added effect…um). Fourth image is a creature from Colin Panetta’s awesome comic Dead Man Holiday. Maude the Chiuaua will not be featured in any comics to my knowledge.

Bears No Limit!
So it’s here: an 80 page Bear Quest book filled to the brim with bear maulings and retro video game glory! It looks sorta exactly like this:

And can be bought right here!

Not only that, but there are TWO versions:

1. The Regular Edition which goes for $15 and you can get it right on Amazon. How very convenient!

2. Or a super awesome Signed Edition for $20 which comes with an original Bear Versus painting! It’s a personalized artwork with The Bear locked in combat with Whatever You Want!

It is up to you and you alone which to choose!

Futhermore, as every year, I am going to be at Staple: The Independent Media Expo this weekend March 6th. It is the greatest convention this world has ever seen. If you are in Austin come by. I’ll be at Table 69 Gnourg Press selling books, posters, and even have FREE little stand-up bears that look like this:

What now? Well, lots of things hopefully.

1. First up, the BQ book! It will be available in March. Cover is shown above.

2. A new online comic that will debut here in May. It won’t be BQ but I guarantee its awesomeness. I’ll be rocking the Tues/Thurs schedule too.
3. A secret Bear Quest multimedia thing.
4. Then, Bear Quest 2!! It’ll be here before you know it. I have so much insanity in store, if you only knew…

Many many things planned, so come back often. Or just go Play Bear Quest again right now!

A really cool review of Bear Quest went up at Ain’t it Cool News a couple days back. Much thanks to Ambush Bug who had great things like this to say:

“BEAR QUEST is as creative as it is fun…The way creator Zach Taylor understands both the comics and video game media is exceptional.”

Hey, I have blurbs to quote now. On my way up! Here’s the link to the the rest of it (scroll down a bit).

Mark your calendars, Bear Quest is starting up May 5th! Yes, twice a week, every Tuesday and Thursday, the vicious mauling and video game action will commence right here on this site.

It’s coming Cinco de Mayo! Spread the word!

What’s this? A teaser image for my new project. It’s about a bear that kills and maims people and the video game he stars in. It is called Bear Quest and I’m serializing it regularly on this very site starting pretty dang soon here. It could very possibly blow your mind!
