Here’s a couple more of those pitch illustrations I’ve been working on. And with any luck, there’ll be a new Set to Sea panel up tomorrow!


Our friend Chris Wright is staying over at our house this week. I think we’re probably completely boring the pants off of him, though. We’re pretty boring people. All we normally do is sit around and draw all day, while listening to radio shows (current favorite: Thinking Allowed) and audio books (still on The Lord of the Rings.)

Eleanor and I are working on the cover to a joint mini we’re making, to be entitled Bugbear, which will collect most of our recent anthology work and other such comics. I’ve drawn my half of the cover, now it’s Eleanor’s turn. Eleanor’s been busy inking her new comic, Mattie and Dodi – she’s been burning through about two pages a day! We’re trying to get all these minis out by the time Fluke rolls around (April 1st.)

Speaking of minis, we’re temporarily out of Blar over at the Little House shop. There’ll definitely be more in a week or two. The same cannot be said for Eleanor’s box set of minis, which is officially sold out. Sorry if you didn’t get one!

Sorry for the dead air around here! Still haven’t finished a new Set to Sea panel yet. Instead, I’ve been working on a kid’s comic pitch. Here’s some character design sketches for it:

I’ll post some more up soon!

Out of curiosity, does anybody out there know a simple program (for Mac) that lets you type up a blog post and post it to Livejournal and Blogger simultaneously? I’m sick of cutting and pasting and logging in. I know there are quite a few clients for Livejournal, but I don’t know any that will work with both.

Our friend Chris Wright is in town, gotta go!

Looks like I won’t actually be able to get up another Set to Sea panel, since I have to hit the road. I’ll have one up for early next week. In the meantime, check out Eleanor’s blog for comic goodness.

We had a very pleasant Valentime’s that involved eating large quantities of raw fish.

Set to Sea 37

The story so far…

I’m going to head out of town for a few days later this week (after Valentine’s Day, of course,) but I’ll try to get at least one more panel up before I go.

Eleanor and I went to a zine “panel discussion” tonight, related to the SCAD “Record & Zine Fair” of last Saturday. It was awesome, because they had all sorts of catered food, and hardly anybody showed up. Kids ended up leaving with whole bags of unopend chips, and I ended up wrapping up about two pounds of these excellent little brownie torte things and carrying them home in my pockets. Of course, the napkins ended up hell of stuck all over the brownies, but them’s the breaks.

Oh, and the zine panel discussion was fun, too. It wasn’t really a panel discussion so much as a roundtable, since the turnout was so low… It might have devolved into just us and our friends chatting about minicomics towards the end, really. Sorry, everyone else at the panel discussion!

Eleanor and I had an excellent bean soup with biscuits for dinner afterward, and I burned the living crap out of my tongue.

One more thing – I hope nobody is offended that I leave a lot of comments on the Livejournal posts unresponded to – I appreciate every single one! I just don’t know what to type for a lot of them besides “thanks!”
