Page 12 Chapter 2

 I have uploaded the next page of chapter 2 over at Tapas. https://tapas.io/series/An-Alien-Adventure

I'll get this synced with my Ko-fi account this week so that my monthly supporters get it a week before everyone else. The last couple of weeks have been hectic with several projects taking priority over AAA. 

In the meantime here's what I was working on about 25 years ago. Her name is Ravage and was part of my answer to Jim Lee's Wildcats. The comic was going to be called Force 10. I'll post more of the character drawings in some upcoming posts.


Enjoy and keep safe,
Bill

My Facebook Exit


Over the past few years I've taken extended Facebook sabbaticals. The last one was almost 2 years. Every time I do one of these it is a huge relief. So my friends I have decided to leave the almighty FB, for the most part anyways. I am still a part of the comic book, webcomic and coloring book groups, along with FB messenger. My posts will be here if you want to see what I'm doing. 

FB, in their infinite wisdom, has seen fit that it's impossible to delete your account. So I did the next best thing. I deleted almost everything. In doing so FB looks like it has put serious restrictions on my Instagram. I cannot add hashtags or tag other creators. This is a serious restriction. How am I to reach beyond my current followers? Just now I am unable to upload anything at all. They are trying to tell me that I need a better connection. I have one of the fastest residential connections in Tucson and my son is in the other room playing games across the internet with who knows how many friends from everywhere. If I didn't rely on Instagram for much of the promotion of my art I'd shit-can it too. I'm thinking that the frustrations, at this point, are not worth the reward. 

Anyhow, I hope you'll follow me here. New comics and coloring books are in the works. I will be adding links to my blog on FB to remind everyone that new content is out for your viewing.

Thanks for sticking with me

Patreon shut down. Now on Ko-fi

 I have decided to cancel my Patreon account as it's imminent implosion looms ever nearer. I had thought about this almost two years ago when Patreon became part of the cancel culture. At that point there was almost no alternative to it's platform. Now we do have a couple of choices and I have decided to go with Ko-fi right now. My account has been cancelled on Patreon, so if you support AAA and get charged on the 1st of September please let me know. 

For those that wish to continue donating to my meager efforts my Ko-fi account is here https://ko-fi.com/analienadventure

Thanks for those that have supported me in the past.

Tons of new stuff!

Here it is August 1st and I haven't made a post in over a month. Not that I've been slacking. Quite the opposite. A second coloring book has been published through Amazon. It's based on all my characters from the webcomic. https://www.amazon.com/Alien-Adventure-Creature-Robot-Coloring/dp/B08CG2RW65/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=bill+simpson+coloring+books&qid=1596318050&sr=8-4

I've already started the next one and it will be fantasy based. Dragons, wizards, knights and such. There are 8 images already done! 

More pages have been added to the webcomic. https://tapas.io/episode/1839831 

Starting August 1st my Patreon supporters will get access to the new episodes a week early. For as little as a dollar you can support and get access to episodes 7 days earlier than the rest of the people on earth. www.patreon.com 
For supporting for $5 I'll draw and color a custom creature, alien or robot to be added to the Hall Of Fame on the comic. Check it out.
