Jason May Illustrates LEGO Brick or Treat! Available Now!

That's right! There's a brand new book out illustrated by Jason May! Head to the bookstore and get yours today, or use the Amazon link to help support my website. I had a great time working on this book and picking out various mini figures to sprinkle in with the main characters. I got to draw ghosts, pumpkins, and various glowing things. And if you wantJason May Draw every Wednesday night and draw along with me, you know that I love drawing weird glowing things often.

This book is my favorite by far of the three holiday books I worked on with Penguin/Random House. I had a great time working with my editor and creating such fun spooky imagery. If you'd like to learn more about creating children's books, be sure to tune in LIVE on Wednesday nights. We'll be drawing children's book covers for the whole month of September.

This weekend is Terrificon and I can't wait! I'll be sitting near Chris Gugliotti and Franco in the artist section. I'll have some copies of my books. You can also bring copies of any of my books and I'll be happy to sign them! In fact- LEGO Brick or Treat came out this week. I've heard that copies are already landing in people's mailboxes. Bring one buy and I'd love to sign it and put a little sketch inside.

5/4/2022

0 Comments

 
Come visit Jason May and Chris Gugliotti, for Free Comic Book Day, at Richie's Comic Cabana in Waterbury CT. I will have Helmights! #1, my coloring book, prints, books and commissions. Bring in a book that I have drawn and I'll happily sign it and do a quick little sketch in it for you!

It's been a while since I've been able to do a Free Comic Book Day. I anticipate a great turn-out from the comic community. Covid has really put a damper on live events for pop culture enthusiasts. If you have any questions, feel free to email me or reach out on social media. If you have not joined my mailing list, you can do so here!

See you Saturday!

Just a few more days left until Easter and I wanted to give you an idea for a last minute Easter gift. Head over to Amazon via THIS LINK and purchase yourself a copy of LEGO Eggstra Special Easter. Another option is to head to your local bookstore and pick up a copy.

I created all the artwork for the book- covers and interiors. I had a great time drawing this book as well as LEGO I Love You To Pieces. I hope you all have a wonderful Easter and we'll see you Wednesday night to draw live on my YouTube channel!

New Site Upgrades and News Letters - Jason May Spills The Beans

In between projects I've been trying to update my YouTube, social media and website. It had been quite some time since I spent time on updates. What motivated me was my latest publications and the success of my streaming show and latest comic.

Over the past year, I've been working on two LEGO Books - LEGO I Love You To Pieces and LEGO Eggstra-Special Easter Special. Both of these books are published by Penguin Random House and were a joy to work on. I'm really looking forward to see what you all think of them. I worked very hard on them and it was very difficult not to talk about. I'm hoping to have some behind the scenes stuff for my Patreons within the coming months.

The Jason May Draw Club House was a child of the Covid epidemic. Last year I started doing some live streams for kids so they could have some access to art while stuck at home. A few weeks into this endeavor I invited my friend and illustrator, Chris Gugliotti. At nearly 100 fun filled episodes, the show has grown substantially, both fan base wise as well as quality. And all of that is thanks you our viewers. Thank you all so much.

Lastly, Helmights! issue #1 came out just after I started working on LEGO I Love You To Pieces, so I apologize that #2 isn't ready. The good news is that Helmights! #2 is almost roughed out and I hope to start on the pencils and inks soon. Check me on social media for up to the week updates, join my mailing list for the very occasional updates and head over to the YouTube channel if you'd like to interact now and then. Or if you're doing the dishes. Just toss it on the ol'device and zone out as you scrub away.

In Just One Week You Can Own My New Book - LEGO Eggstra-Special Easter Book

I am so excited to release my first book of 2022 with Penguin Random House. Last month LEGO I Love You To Pieces came out and I couldn't be more excited. Pre-order today and receive the book next week. I had a great time illustrating the story of Duncan. I don't want to give too much away so I'll give you the synopsis.

Bring any of my published works to one of my appearances and I'll be happy to sign it and do a quick little doodle in it. Thank you all for your support!

A delightful Easter storybook starring LEGO® minifigures!
 


Duncan’s favorite day is Easter, and his dreams come true when the Easter Bunny needs his help delivering eggs. But it’s a big responsibility and he’s not sure he can do it. Will a little confidence and some LEGO® creativity get the job done? This sweet and silly storybook is the perfect gift for LEGO fans ages 4 to 7 on Easter or any day!

HopArts Trail - Hopkinton Rhode Island Appearance - Jason May

10/16/2021

Today was the first day of the HopArts Trail. We will be displaying again tomorrow from 10am-4pm at 5 Lakeside Drive Extension located in Hope Valley Rhode Island. This year is the fifteen year of the event and the inaugural year for me. Drop by tomorrow and say hello.

I'm happy to say that people came out in droves today and purchased a lot of art and books. I feel very supported by my community and I thank you all. It was nice to meet some new faces and expose people to my work. Not many people in my town know how many artists are sitting in their studios producing art that surrounds them on a daily basis.

Thank you so much to Mike Lynch for hosting me and to all the people who came out and showed their support.

Secret Project, Coffee Label Design and Upcoming Comics!

A quick pick of the recent coffee labels that I illustrated for Wick-Ed Bean Co. They are located in Rhode Island at the Fantastic Umbrella Factory (a great place to visit).
Hey guys! Sorry I've been radio silent on here for a bit, but I've been working on a lot of stuff. If you watch the weekly YouTube stream you should be fairly caught up. If not, here's a little info for you:

Last week I ordered the final proof for Helmights! issue #1. As soon as the proof is cleared, I will be printing up a limited number of books for the first printing. The book will be available to my Patreons first and then will be available shortly after on my website.

I will also be attending the Mohegan Sun Comic Book Convention - Terrificon! I should be sitting next to my pal, Franco all weekend. I'll let you know the details as the show gets closer.

There is a secret project brewing! I have been hired to work on a book, which I am not at liberty to discuss right now, but the art will take me well through the summer. As soon as I can elaborate on that project, I will. The fastest way to get information on any of my projects would  be via my Patreon or my weekly Jason May Draw Club House show on YouTube. 

"But, Jason - what about Beamed, Robotic Madness and all your passion projects?" Don't worry, they are all still in the works. They may be taking a while among all of my paid gigs, but I am still working on them diligently in my free time outside of my work and family.
