    Hello,

    This is A.P. Fuchs, Canadian writer and artist based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Welcome to my main blog where superheroes, monsters, horror, and Pop Culture reign supreme. I’m a veteran indie author, cartoonist, publisher, and freelancer in the realms of books and comics, and have been wearing all those hats for the past quarter century. You have arrived at Canister X, my official blog and the Realm of Heroes and Monsters, where we’re back to making more digital content for your consumption.

    I’m also the writer and artist behind the webcomic, Fredrikus, a dystopian sci-fi about an anthropomorphic dog, which you can read from the beginning here.

  • Status Report – 120224

    Posted on by A.P. Fuchs
    status report 120224

    Status Report – 120224:

    The main driver creative workwise these days is catch-up. I’m not dreadfully behind, but behind enough that it’s a bother, but I’m more behind in the business side of this industry than the creative part. After all, about 10% of this stuff is the making of it; the other 90% is running it.

    We had hoped to end the year with the BATTLE OF POWER Trilogy. For those who missed the news in my newsletter, all is in order except for a couple items outside anybody’s control. So, in terms of the creator keeping his end of the bargain, this has been done. It terms of others, not so much so we’re in a temporary holding pattern. I have a plan if this holding pattern continues as I don’t want it to push the trilogy way down the timeline. The odds of finishing 2024 with the trilogy release are pretty much nil but very early in the New Year is completely possible and doable.

    Still, we got three books out this year (with a possible fourth up in the air, an Eventual Book): AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY, CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS, and THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION: THE VERY LONG YEAR SIX.

    Now that I’m dealing with a layoff from work, I won’t have to pull double duty and work both this job and the other one. So far, over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been able to get a good chunk of rest in and also make some solid headway in publishing-related items that were more “pick at” projects before due to the limited hours.

    A list is made and is being worked through. More stuff is being added to the list as I think of it. This is a longview program, meaning I’m giving myself three months to complete the items. All things being equal, three months is more than what’s required but you never know what might come up, like our logistics issue with the BATTLE OF POWER Trilogy.

    All right, I need to do something I’ve been putting off solely due to time.

    Last, a special Patreon index is coming to the blog. The idea is it’ll help you find items and navigate the Patreon page with ease right here at the blog. This will give you the chance to check out some content as well as consider joining the Patreon journey.

    By the way, it’s Minifigure Monday here on 120224 and an amazing 1989 Batman is on the docket.

    Enjoy.

    This has been your Status Report for 120224.

    Summer mode will continue until the Axiom-man books in the BATTLE OF POWER Trilogy are off to press as creative stuff like that gets priority, but it’s going to follow the theme of the CANISTER X TRANSMISSION: YEAR SEVEN of fluidity. We’re gonna play it nice and loose.

  • Summer 2024 Content Schedule

    Posted on by A.P. Fuchs

    Summer 2024 Content Schedule

    summer 2024 content schedule

    Since we’re now heading into summer, this is just a quick announcement to say that the content on this site won’t be as regular as usual, likewise for my other social platforms. The big reason is we’re on major deadline for the BATTLE OF POWER Trilogy for THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA, the second-biggest reason being I have some holiday time coming up and that will take away from entertaining you guys and, in the interest of self-care, it’s a good idea for me to just produce on a casual basis until the fall.

    We all need to recharge our batteries now and then.

    But, again, don’t worry. There will be content, but following the YEAR SEVEN model of fluidity versus a stringent schedule.

    Be sure to check back here often. You never know what might pop up and catch your interest.

    Have a great summer. Hope you like the Summer 2024 Content Schedule!

    Cheers.

    – APF

  • Midnight Recording

    Posted on by A.P. Fuchs

    Midnight Recording

    midnight recording

    It so happened that on Sunday morning I woke up about 2:30AM fully rested. I tried going back to sleep but no success so I got up, made some coffee, and headed down to the studio.

    Middle of the night.

    Podcast recording. Episode 9 of Season 2.

    There was something peaceful about recording in a silent house without risk of anything happening that would require my attention. And it was especially helpful for podcast creation but each episode takes about an hour to record then, including processing time, another 3 hours for digital work, rendering, and upload.

    Often, my recording and creation is on a clock. Sunday morning, it wasn’t. 

    Grateful.

    This midnight recording was special.

    I hope you enjoy Episode 9 when it airs.

    Peace.

    Thank You – May 2024

    thank you may 2024

    A note of thanks to everyone who supported my work this month.

    Thank you for buying my books.

    Thank you for checking out my videos.

    Thank you for listening to the podcast.

    Thank you for reading my webcomic.

    Thank you to my friends on social media who always keeps things fun.

    And thank you, dear reader, for coming to this blog and checking things out.

    Month almost over.

    Lastly, this morning I gave the go-ahead at the distributor for CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS. My hope is the listings will start popping up soon (sometimes it’s almost immediate; other times it takes a few days) so we can launch this Saturday. I will monitor the book then go from there.

    Two more days then the weekend, folks. Hang in there. Almost done.

    Thank you again for a good May 2024.
