02/25/13 Dustin Let Free

Sorry about the site being down last week, just some technical difficulties. Um, not a lot else new here. Spent my last two weeks painting five paintings for my sweetie’s office (pictures to come) and editing my novel (which is coming along awesomely). Coming up, don’t forget March 9-10 I’ll be at the Tucson festival of Books, oh, and I just found out that Marcy Rockwell‘s gonna be there too. Good times.

Yes indeed. Monday, the 25th, I am 40. Thank goodness I haven’t grown up.

Quick! Distraction. A beautful video of astronauts talking about the awe and inspiration they experience from going into space.

So, I’m not sure how many of you remember, but one of the levels of the Spacetrawler Kickstarter campaign was offering to let readers give a means of death to one of the Dustys. This one makes the third. Thank you to Mark for stacking his body out of order, Corey for the dropping drop bears on him, and Jason for smothering him in an Australian Flag. I couldn’t have thought of more idiotic painful lovely ways to off the poor bastard. Thank you both for the fun ideas, and supporting the strip. :)

Not much going on. A decent Monday of drawing and getting work done, but Tuesday was all errands. What a pain in the neck. The Glens Falls Chronicle Book Fair was very nice. Good to meet local writers, especially since I’ve been putting so much time into writing prose lately. This Sunday i may stop by the Albany Comic Book Show, but I’m not sure what my schedule looks like and if I can make it, and even if I do I won’t be tabling — so it’s not really an announcement. :)

Went to another open-studio model-drawing class. I feel it will take a bit to get back in the swing of things, I’ve done so little model drawing over the past decade, but I think I’ve done a bit better than last time — well, excepting the arms and head. It’s weird. I reached a level of proficiency that i can clearly see what’s wrong and am almost baffled that my hand won’t put the right thing on paper. But all it will take is a little more brushing up.
Lastly, it’s November. I know this is wayyyy too early for ME to be thinking about holidays gifts, but I know that YOU might be. IF you are going to be buying any gifts or gift certificates from Amazon, know that if you do so by going there through my LINK RIGHT HERE, I will earn a decent percentage from the sale of almost anything you purchase (or put in your cart) on that visit. So, please, support my work from almost zero effort and no money from your end. (or, of course, as always, my books and Merch over at TopatoCo too).

11/05/12 Drop Bear

11/05/12 Drop Bear

I know, the URL says this is strip “273,” right? That’s because when I don’t manually adjust the URL, it puts in a random name. Which means every now and then I drop a number.

What I’m saying is: this is strip 300! Holy cats gadzooks! Whoot! If I imagine drawing that many, but if you do it one at a time!

All is well. This month we’re moving AGAIN. But only across town. The place we rented sight-unseen from Seattle ended up being in a very loud (scrap metal yard a few houses away) and smelly (cement mill AND paper mill) neighborhood. Yay for new awesome apartment finally found, booo for having to move everything again.

What with that, Specatrawler, Thanksgiving travel plans, and a couple freelance gigs all going on, I decided it was the perfect year to do Nanowrimo. For those unfamiliar, that stands for “National Novel Writing Month” in which you write a 50,000 word novel during the month of November. Since I generally write very over-precisely and over-preciously, it’s been a good exercise in relaxing and just enjoying the writing.

08/01/12 A New Consensus

08/01/12 A New Consensus

***********EDIT**************

Strip colored and uploaded. Yay! You can still view the b&w version I posted here.

***********/EDIT**************

Hahahah! I’ve driven cross the country twice, done a convention, packed and moved everything we owned and somehow superhumanly kept up on the strip. But now that all that activity is pretty-much done, I relaxed briefly (mostly focused on unpacking and cleaning the new place) and I KNEW my mom and sister were coming to visit on Tuesday, and…. ta-dahhh, the strip’s not washed or colored. Oy-vey.

Anyhow, I like keeping the story rolling. I have no moves, no conventions, no anything scheduled for a while. I’ll get caught up on this and other not-quite-done-strips. Or work on my novel when I’m being bad. All in all it will be good results.

Hey, I have a question for you all. I have a friend who wants to work/live for a bit in Antarctica. She’s really smart, was a project manager in New York, responsible, hard-core hiker and traveler. but she’s applied two years running now for every and any job down there with no results. Anyone know a way in?

07/30/12 A Royal Welcome

07/30/12 A Royal Welcome

Well, I made it cross-country. I am now once again a resident of the northeastern US. The house is a mess with boxes still everywhere, and I am terribly behind on work so bear with me on everything.

But the strip is done, is up, and so i feel i am back on track after about a month of insanity.

I have no links, I haven’t been reading news or blogs or anything for the past couple weeks. In fact, right now I’m sitting in a car outside the local public library (the internet people come tomorrow to “flip the switch”). And if I’ve been quiet on the boards here, know that I’ve been reading and enjoying all your comments, I just haven’t had much time or computer access to contribute.

07/25/12 Meet The Eebs

07/25/12 Meet The Eebs

Again, I’m still in the midst of moving (I should be somewhere around South Dakota by the time you read this). My “real” scanner is in NY, and I was using my old tiny junky one back in Seattle. Which MEANS that the washes didn’t scan right and I couldn’t get them to line up. But, for now, it’s done. Sometime after I get there, I’ll go back and re-scan and fix it all.

I enjoyed building Dusty’s “vehicle.” I took the actual frame of a tricycle and welded it to a missile. I’m sure the Mihrrgoots did the same thing.

And just like book #1, here is the sort-of epilogue strip. And below is a thank you video for all of you who helped support me during the Kickstarter campaign (and the rest of you too, for keeping my numbers up, spreading the word, and simply enjoying it).

02/22/12 The Fire

Don’t forget the Kickstarter for Book #2 campaign.

This strip makes me sad. I may laugh callously when I write death, but it also makes me sad. Ah, how mixed emotions can be.

Well, good. Now you know what our jolly crew is up against in book 3. And the characters who were doomed? They needed closure. Will I forget that aside from at-times-intense story that this is ALSO A COMEDY? — NO. Never.

It’s my brithday on Saturday. Whoot! Happy me. I’ll eat cake. And eat it too.

Anyhow. Kickstarter still going through Monday, pre-orders for book #2 and other fun items: artwork, name as a character, postcards! It’s really really awesome. Check it out.

Happy Day After Valentines Day! (umm)

Bit of a cliffhanger today, sorry to make you all wait ’til next week! :)

Thank you all so much for funding the printing of Book 2 through my Kickstarter campaign! As you may know, I have reached my goal, but you can still place pre-orders or support my work (you can have your name or face in the actual comic even!) there until the 27th! All extra proceeds will go to paying off the loans from printing book 1 and to the re-printing of Little Dee.

BOOK 2 KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN!

I think there is other news and links, but I’ve been working non-stop and my head is spinning. Just to thank you all again. This all is such a relief.

Hope you all are having lovely holidays. In case you’re enjoying them TOO much, I hope today’s strip helps.

And thank you for the holiday tips, truly (and let me say again, if you tipped but didn’t see the “thank you” strip, contact me).
