12/14/11 Nogg and Pierrot Depart

Well, I’ve name-dropped “Qwahntoo” several times now. I mentioned that it he was who enslaved the Eebs, and showed here the creature who enslaved the eebs. So, I think several of you pieced together. I wasn’t really keeping it a mystery for dramatic tension or anything, as much as I wanted book #2 to keep focused on Kuu-Drahc as the figurehead of the evil empire. Expect much more of Qwahntoo in book #3.

If you wish to re-read everything on him, click on the Qwahntoo “tag” or click here for the tag page. I have gone back in and added his name to (hopefully) all the times he appeared or was mentioned.

And if you wanted any merchandise before Christmas, the shipping deadlines are coming fast and furious. At the top of MY STORE, you’ll see a shipping deadline (noon today/Wednesday is the last day for UPS ground).

I’m going to a reading book group today. We’ve read “Slaughterhouse 5.” Kinda excited as I’ve never gone to a reading group before. Yay! :)

Oh, and ol’ Tom Walker posted his weekly SS MYRA (NSFW).

Hey, there’s a new strip in town. And it’s Not-Safe-For-Work (NSFW) SS Myra. By Tom Walker, the same jerk who wrote and drew “Bad Mile.” I might also note, that Tom Walker is NOT ME, so just stop even suggesting it. I don’t even like him.

Ah, another week. Spent some time at Occupy Seattle. Made cranberry-orange granola. Had a freewrite session over bagels with Matt. A nice walk with my friend Kim around Greenlake.

Been thinking a lot about the plot of Spacetrawler. There are so many little threads to make sure I tie back in, and it’s mostly all mapped out in my head. And then I keep adding things, and adjusting, which adjusts everything else like dominoes. And I have to say i love doing this MORE THAN ANYTHING.

Hello! Happy Halloween. Hope you had some fun this weekend (or plan to tonight). We went to a lovely party on Friday. I was Robin Hood! I do love hot glue guns.
For making costumes! Sheesh, you guys!

Anyhow, ALSO for the party I made peppermint patties, and you can see my recipe over on Cookrookery.

And in case you missed it, there are now Spacetrawler WALLPAPERS! Yay! Just donate any amount (even a penny), and it will send you to chosen wallaper. Here are the sizes, but if you want more options, let me know and I can probably make ‘em. :)

10/03/11 Rumble Proposal

10/03/11 Rumble Proposal

San Francisco. Home for Franciscan Saints I guess. A weekend of visits, work, and good conversation. And now, I’ll go home again for a few months at home enjoying my sweetie, our cats, and my life.

A bit about the con. APE. There were four cartoonists specifically who stood out (aside from seeing old friends now such as Jen Wang, Shaenon Garrity, and Evan Dahm, and I got to finally meet Lauren Davis!).

First, I was lucky to have good neighbors. Josh Finney and Kat Rocha, who create the post-apocalyptic story Utopiates, as well as the graphic novels Titanium Rain (a story set a few years in the future with us at war with China).

I got to meet Crow, the mastermind behind the Nicky 510 (MWF character gag strip) and Chuckle A Duck (single-panel gag strip), who (along with his wife) was charming as hell.

And Jules Rivera who creates the Sci-Fi comic Valkyrie Squadron (four women in space fighting against autodrones), which I am very looking forward to reading, if for no other reason than she has a very similar drawing process including building all her backgrounds as 3-D models first. Nice!

And lastly, Dylan Meconis was NOT at APE con, but I wanted to link to her because she did a lovely short comic which she posted online called “Outfoxed,” which is quite lovely. I love experimental comics, as you may know if you’ve explored my Water Street comics.

There are more people. I have a pile of cards and notes from this con as well as the past three. I should be catching up on on my blogging when I get back.

I’m uploading this at the Philadelphia airport. I had such a good time on this trip, but due to the switcheroosies of convention schedules, I am simply exhausted and so happy to be heading home. True, two days later I’ll be heading to San Francisco, but that will be a bit more brief, and I’ll be at least partly refueled by seeing my sweetie and sleeping in my own bed.

06/01/11 Kuu-Drahc Learns Plans

06/01/11 Kuu-Drahc Learns Plans

I’ve been doing a lot of research into creating Spacetrawler entirely on the computer. Aside from the 1k price on a Cintiq, I simply can’t figure out a way to not make it look as hand-drawn on a computer in the same way it looks now. And although I have no strong feelings on what a comic should look like, I do feel strongly in my own work that whatever it DOES look like — it should remain as consistent as possible throughout the project. Who knows if I’ll manage to achieve that before the project is over, but it’s still been fun to play with Cintiqs and photoshop filters.

On the comics front, I’ve been really enjoying Scott Kurtz’s delve back into his archive of characters to retrieve the lovely Sonya Powers. I remember her well from her first run back in 2002, awww, poor Skull.

Hey, just a heads up. TopatoCo and I are discontinuing the Limbic Fizzler tee, so get ‘em while supplies last!

And…. one more day of my pointing finger before you want to put your eyes out with it: I have all these buttons linked to social networking (Facebook, Twitter, etc). If you like a strip, you should always click on them. Really. :)

04/06/11 Dimitri’s Smooth Save

Been a busy week. Made some Irish fadge (pita-like bread). Saw a play, “The Beams are Creaking” at the Taproot Theater pay-what-you-can-night. Walked around downtown in Pike Place market and such, and got vegetarian hotdogs over at Cyberdogs. Skyped with my nephew, who’s like 3, and is cooler than I’ll ever be — I took a screen-shot.

Links: The talented Mary Cagle of Kiwi Blitz was inspired by my use of color over washes, and tried it out herself, very cool. And thank you again, this past week, to Scott Kurtz of PVP, Chris Hastings of Dr. McNinja (and now writer for Deadpool), Jon Rosenberg of Scenes From a Multiverse and Goats, and Dave Kellett of Drive and Sheldon for talking up Spacetrawler and Spacetrawler Book#1.

Emerald City Comic Con was fun, but I barely finished the strip on time, which means a convention report will have to wait until Wednesday, but let me say now, thanks for coming out! I had a great time and glad so many of you found my table. :)

And I have a few nice links for ya: Elsanto gave Spacetrawler a 5 star review over at comixmedia, and Lys talks about me as one of her favorites over at YourKloset. Thank you!

And please, show your support by visiting the store! :)
