Happy Final Space Friday,
We’re deep in book tour planning right now while we wait for the graphic novels to land in Virginia.
But I NEED YOUR HELP.
TAG your favorite bookstores on this post.
Seriously let’s flood this thing.
We’re going to reach out and see who’s open to hosting a graphic novel signing.
Normally a publisher handles all of this but as you know it's just me and @gungnirbooks has been a huge help on that front.
Right now it’s shaping up to be a June tour.
First stop is locked: The Last Bookstore in Los Angeles.
We’re also working out ticketing. If it’s a bookstore event, tickets will be free and most likely hosted through https://t.co/tQ526rDkOV.
I may also tap into some comedy club venues I have access to do live shows + signing combo. Make it an experience.
So yeah, tag your favorite bookstore.
Let’s send this off with a bang! -Olan

I’ve always liked entering festivals (which costs a lot of money) and contests because they force me to be creative under constraints. This one was interesting because it pushed me to think about how AI tools can help communicate ideas that would normally need a much bigger budget and skills that I do not have.
I don’t see tools like this fully replacing filmmaking at least not yet. Some doors may close (even the ones I’m trying to get in), but I think new ones open too. What surprised me most was how much faster experimentation became. I could try things that normally wouldn’t be possible without a crew, gear, and a lot more money.
That said… I’d still rather be on location with people making the real thing 😅. There’s nothing like that energy. Though I'm thankful there's a tool like this to get my idea out. And it still took time to get footage that felt usable, and honestly the most fun part was editing everything together and shaping the tone. That was not AI.
Also, I’m pretty happy I didn’t have to actually blow up a boat for this (though that would’ve been fun IRL).
Curious how others here are approaching these tools are you treating them more like pre-viz, proof-of-concept, or finished work? Would love feedback and thoughts from other creators.
Always down to connect and help each other grow as creatives in this evolving space.
