I’m one of the founders of HeavyInk.com.
I live in a house with two dogs, a pile of books and comic books, and five lathes (three metal lathes and two wood lathes).
The dogs are a 12 year old male Australian Cattle Dog named Strider, and a 2 year old Corgi / Australian Cattle Dog mix named Ocho.
I was interviewed about HeavyInk over at ComicsReporter.
HeavyInk was profiled in MassHighTech here.
I noticed you unsubscribed from No Hero and Doktor Sleepless. Any reason? I just subscribed to both because they looked interesting…
Thanks for the reply.

Hey, thanks for getting in touch. Right now we’re buried under so much other stuff that a site redesign is VERY low on the priority list. I can’t imagine it happening inside of the next 12 months.
Hey, who would I have to talk to about a heavyink site redesign. I emailed you guys a link you might wanna give a look, http://www.beoriginal.com/heavyink Thanks, love the site, except the style I guess.
That’s awesome. Zombiedictator and I have thought about getting an ACD. They are awesome dogs too. You know you have an awesome dog when there is a comic written after it. :)

That’s a cute corgi! I’ve got an Australian Cattle Dog, and a half-ACD / half-Corgi myself.

cute avatar – is it from some comic book?
I am an Environmental & construction/brushing consultant in the Utility & Oil and Gas Industries. I ensure that when projects are being brushed and constructed that they are done in a manner that is in line with all environmental & construction acts, polices and laws.

Your blurb says that you get paid to do work that’s similar to reading comic books. What is your job?
Hey Trevor,
I was hoping to possibly interview you (preferably over the phone but I could do an e-mail interview as well) about HeavyInk. I’m writing a magazine article for a class at the University of Utah about comic shops vs. their online counter parts. The article is called “In the Comic World, HeavyInk is the New Black”. I love HeavyInk and want to weigh the pros and cons of the online format vs. in store. Your input would help to give the story weight. There is a possibility the story could be published.
I’d need to have the interview finished by Oct. 31. Let me know if you can and if you can’t please point me in the direction of someone who could.
Thanks :)
Dana
I’m kind of confused =| I subscribed to the nightwing comic book. Will it charge me automatically and send me the comic book? or will i have to buy each issue buy clicking the buy button.
thanks and sorry
yeah exactly…its called a duck-walk…brutal on the whole body…and I must agree, my arms do look damn sexy in that pic. cheers dude!
TJIC said:
Dude – you’re buff!
What’sthat thing that you’re man-handling? Some sort of T-bar with plates at the end?
I have tried my best to get my friends into comic books. In fact, I even started a group in my city for the book “Drawing Words and Writing Pictures” (if you haven’t already, you should check it out)so a bunch of people can come together and learn how to create comics. However, I’ve come to find that most of my friends are more into drawing comics than reading them. All I can say is that they’re missing out.
Marketing books always strike me as a whole buck or facts about psychology with no data or sources. The Marketers who write the books are so gosh darn good at their jobs that the students believe it unquestioningly and soak it up like a sponge. If you want a real good basis you marketing, get some kind of major/miner combo in Psychology and Business. Or heck, skip the business altogether, since both marketing and psychology is the study of searning about and controling other people’s minds. I wanted so desperately to be a biopsych major… basically controlling minds with drugs..
The bowl from your May 27th post is awesome! What is the wood and what sort of finish did you put on it?
Thank you for supporting Robotika!
You have created a great thing. Also, I want a corgi, they are big dogs in small packages.
Hey, are you guys planning on setting something up for comic-con (the one in San Diego) this year? This is going to be my first one and I’d be psyched to see something from Heavyink at the con!
Yeps – I’ve been LARPing since before I worked for TVR. I also do things for a LARP con in Boston. Since I’m just THAT much of a geek. _
TJIC said:
You LARP?
You know, I just realized that it would make an awesome forehead tattoo. I’ve got to get drunk, pronto!!!
TJIC said:
Just noticed the new avatar. Ha!
Thanks! I wish I was cool enough to wear combat boots and a skirt.
TJIC said:
Most excellent avatar! (I love Daria!)
He has been rightly chastised.

Daynah, we are definately going to create T-shirts (including limited edition ones), and because you’ve been such a great customer (blogging, forums, all that good stuff) you were already on the short list to get a freebie in the mail.
Someone (cough) has been a bit tardy in delivering the T-shirt design, so it’s not going to be done in time for your con…but keep checking the <s>skies</s> mailbox!
I will be working at a convention on Memorial Day weekend… and I haven’t decided what to wear yet! The only rule for staff is that we wear… “clothes.” If there were a magical heavyink shirt that existed, I would be very happy to wear it for some of the con (not every day, ew).
Great interview with The Comics Reporter!

(Sorry I don’t know how to link properly to that.)
You guys were our Knight in Shining Armor with that whole Atomic Robo/Diamond fuck up.
Thanks again for getting the book out to people!!
hey there, Gravel has me intrigued but I see it linked to Strange Kiss (and the sequel) on some reviews on the web. I saw you really didn’t like the Kiss books but yet are pulling Gravel. What’s your take on it? Good, not good, interesting? Many thanks in advance.
hey – go check out http://dreamcafe.com/firefly.html, where awesome scifi author Stephen Brust posted, for free, his own novel set in the ‘Verse (set between the end of Firefly and the events of the movie)
Hello – Thanks for ordering, taking the time to read, and then your very thoughtful review of my new comic – THE INFINITE HORIZON. It makes all the difference when a shop owner or in your case – a site operator gets behind an indie book like ours. Thanks for that. I noticed that you’re sold out – I’m sure that’s do to your kind words. I hope you like the rest of the series – issue 2 and the reprint are out in January. Thanks again, and Happy New Year – congrats on this cool site too – Best, Gerry Duggan
