Here we are again—another Bandcamp Friday. There’s never been a better time to buy my music.
I have a new release coming out on Black Friday (24 October 2023), Leftovers. It’s a short EP of four tracks leftover from my recent composing projects, as well as an epic-length, eight-minute-plus track from the never-completed Electrock III called “Futura (Magnum Opus III).” Here’s the album cover to tide you over:
Delicious! Mark your calendars now!
Last Bandcamp Friday I had a brand new release: Spooky Season II: Rise of the Cryptids! It’s ten tracks and nearly fifteen minutes of music, so it’s 3.5 times longer than Spooky Season.
Like Spooky Season, Spooky Season II: Rise of the Cryptids features full scores for every part, as well as around 130 MBs of bonus content—videos, pictures, and even some live performance footage. It’s my most feature-packed release ever, and it’s only $5!
Also, look at this sweet album cover:
It’s the finest quality MS Paint can provide!
Speaking of my last release, Spooky Season, a collection of seven new compositions with a spooky, autumnal vibe, hit streaming platforms on Sunday, 1 October, but is also available for purchase via Bandcamp!
Spooky Season is just $5, and includes full scores and individual parts for every track—a $28 value!—plus a bonus track. It’s also crammed with videos, handwritten manuscripts, and other goodies.
The first Friday of a bunch of months in 2023—February, March, April, May, August, September, October, November, and December—will feature this pro-indie music observance, a day on which Bandcamp waives its usual 15% commission on sales.
In other words, when you buy my music, almost 100% of it goes to me, instead of almost 85%.
Currently, my entire discography of eleven releases is $20.89, a savings of 50%, which is not bad for eleven releases. That’s $1.74 per release—not too shabby! To purchase the full discography, click on any release, and you’ll see the option to purchase all of them.
You can also listen to a ton of my tunes on YouTube (and it’s free to subscribe!).
I’m also selling all of my paintings for $10, with free shipping in the United States, regardless of how many you purchase. They’re one of kind, so once a painting is purchased, it’s gone.
Then there’s Society6, a website that lets artists upload their designs, which can they be printed onto all manner of products (like this throw pillow, or this duvet cover). Why not get a bookbag with a mouthy droid on it?
I only get 10% of the sales made there, but some of the stuff looks really good—I really want these notebooks with my “Desert View” painting on it (now SOLD!). Some of them are straight-up goofy, like this church doodle I made celebrating the presidential pardon of Roger Stone (the description for the piece is “Anger your friends with this doodle commemorating the presidential pardon of America’s most dapper political operative“).
I have a few new paintings in the works, and hope to be attending the South Carolina Bigfoot Festival to try to hawk some of my works. We’ll see how that goes!
My first book, The One-Minute Mysteries of Inspector Gerard: The Ultimate Flatfoot, is $10 in paperback, and just $5 on Kindle.
My second and newest book, Arizonan Sojourn, South Carolinian Dreams: And Other Adventures, is $20 in paperback and $10 on Kindle.
Finally, after I finish Offensive Poems: With Pictures, my planned third book, I’ll be uploading those doodles to Society6 as well. I have high hopes (perhaps naïvely) for this book, but we shall see. The doodles are some of my best work—and in glorious color—and without notebook paper lines!
Thanks again for your support!
Happy Friday!
