01/09/13 Negotiations Begin

I just ate the remainder of last night’s apple crumble. And forgot to have my late afternoon tea. I am sleepy now. So tragic. ;-)

News? They finally filmed a giant squid. But the video won’t be released til later this month (I’m pretty excited), so for now you can just watch videos of them talking about it with footage of them killing other squids. Such pretty things, they say. Ah well.

Annnnd, If I were a younger man, I just might consider applying to go to Mars. But I’m not. hahahahaha!

01/07/13 Appealing to Qwahntoo

I remembered her black eye! Finally! :)

Let’s see. Oh, I forgot to mention that a week and a half ago I posted a recipe on Cookrookery. Cinnamon-Raisin Penuche cake. It’s the second recipe down, Dan just posted about bizarre foods from his recent trip to New Zealand and Australia.

In news, there’s an app for reading webcomics on your smart phone, and it’s almost ready to be released, called Comic Chameleon. Spacetrawler will be on it, but it’s not released yet, this is just buzz. And lastly, robots are now playing heavy metal. Now all we have to do is teach them to set fire to the hotel bed and throw the toilet out the window.

And lastly lastly, my Questionable Wisdom Of The Age, filling my “Qwota” of misguided sagacity for the universe.

The desire to become a rock star is the worst hobby imaginable for a youth, on so many levels. Especially if they succeed.

Here’s the schedule of panels I’ll be on (the full InterventionCon schedule is here)

Friday 5pm: “Designing Your First Book”

Panelists: Chris Flick, Barb Fischer, Christoper Baldwin, Chris Impink

Friday 7pm: “How to Survive as a Writer in the Business of Webcomics, Comics and Other Visual Media”
Panelists: Tony DiGerolamo, H. Caldwell Tanner, Christopher Baldwin

09/12/12 Exiting The Ship

09/12/12 Exiting The Ship

One thing I like about the comments y’all give is that it can give me some objectivity which I don’t get on my own working alone in my office. For instance, @zb asked how Hein got on the ship, and so I added the first line in today’s strip. And a few strips back, @War_Pig asked about the stars not moving despite King-and-gang going greased dark light speed, and in Monday’s strip I tried to establish/remind that they were on a space station by starting with a outside shot of the Keep. Thank you all!

Hey, InterventionCon schedule is up (September 21-23 in Rockville, MD)! Here are the three panels I’ll be on.

Friday 5pm: “Designing Your First Book”
Panelists: Chris Flick, Barb Fischer, Christoper Baldwin, Chris Impink

Panelists: Tony DiGerolamo, H. Caldwell Tanner, Christopher Baldwin

Saturday 3pm: “Back in my day: The webcomic veterans panel”

06/20/12 Planet Saturn

06/20/12 Planet Saturn

Heh. That last panel is from right here in Seattle, down by Pike Place Market.

Have I mentioned I’m going to be in Minneapolis July 5th-8th for Convergence Sci-Fi Con? I will be. And it’s coming up in a couple weeks. Find me on panels and at my table in the Dealer’s Room.

Not much has happened since Monday. Played racquetball, which continues to be great fun (I fear if we ever think about learning the rules or keeping score), made bread, made kale chips. The usual.

So, um, follow the Spacetrawler Tri-directive: spread links about how awesome the comic is, buy books, and most of all — enjoying reading!

06/18/12 A Mother’s Job

06/18/12 A Mother’s Job

My friend Daniel and I went camping this week — off the grid, even cell phone service. One night: the campsite was forgettable, the hiking trails unpleasant, and so we built a campfire and talked writing, life, relationships, and more writing for about 9 hours straight (and several bundles of wood later). Good times.

Next we need to find some place we can get a cheap cabin for a week so we can go and each write a novel. Hm. it will happen, I swear.

I am TOTALLY envious of my friend Cedra, who got an art grant to go to the Arctic Circle to paint. I am eagerly (VERY eagerly, actually) waiting for a freelance check to come in, to pay back-rent and to pay to get a painting/drawing she’ll do on the trip. I only hope the ship doesn’t hit an iceburg and sink because then I wouldn’t get my painting out of it would miss her a lot!
