Fantastic news!

Elle, Louisa, and I have launched our KICKSTARTER campaign. The money from this will go to printing a gorgeous full-color, hardcover book of Erstwhile comics. Erstwhile is a comic anthology adapting lesser-known Grimm's Fairy Tales. Depending on how much you pledge you will receive extra goodies in different combinations. We have some really cool one-of-a-kind items like the crocheted plushies of Bird, Mouse, and Sausage!

We have lots of special rewards planned and pledge levels to unlock! And remember, if the campaign doesn't reach its goal, we get NOTHING. Yup, nothing. So help us get a happily ever after!

I have a few convention appearances lined up for the next few months. Can't do as many of them with the baby, but I'm not cutting them out completely --just scaling back a bit.

MOMOCON in Atlanta, GA
(March 16-18, 2012)
I’ve been attending for five or more years now. It’s a fun convention that is steadily growing. This year they’ve moved up from the Georgia Tech to the big hotel scene! It should be a blast.

ANIME BOSTON in Boston, MA
(April 6-8, 2012)
Okay, so remember how I was going to be at Anime Boston last year, but had to cancel because of the pregnancy woes? Well, this year I’ve been invited to attend as a Featured Artist. That’s right, me, the hubby, and the little one will be in the artists alley! We've already got our flights booked!

A-KON in Dallas, TX
(June 1-3, 2012)
This will be my third year at A-kon. It's a great convention with a great convention staff. They really treat the Artist Alley folks well! Looking forward to returning.


We might be at a few other conventions in the second half of the year, but nothing is confirmed as of this point. Either tables are not yet available to reserve or haven't heard back yet. Either way, there might be a few more appearances this year!

Hi everyone! I have a new (well, new as a webcomic... a few of the stories were print-only years back) webcomic series, ERSTWHILE ~ Fairy Tale Comics.



It is an all-ages read that adapts the lesser-known Grimm's fairy tales into comics without watering them down from their original versions. Right now we have five stories up. They include: The Farmer's Clever Daughter, A Tale with a Riddle, Maid Maleen, The Bird, the Mouse, & the Sausage, and All Fur (currently updating).

I hope you will check it out! If you like it, please link to the site or give it a mention.

Yup, it's a brand new year. I've got two new watercolors I did just after midnight last night. First new art pieces of the new year!

I can't believe my last post was in June! Well, the last part of my pregnancy pretty much had me worn out... plus I had a few conventions to attend. Then the baby was born, and then two more conventions. XD

Anyway, yes, life has been busy. The good news is Red String is updating again and Erstwhile is now a webcomic and will be updating regularly. Check them out, spread the word!

And that's it for now! Hope to have more life and project updates soon.

We will be attending A-kon in Dallas, TX on June 10-12, 2011 (next weekend). You will find us in the Artists Alley. We'll have lots of new merchandise as well as our regular selection of goodies! We will have copies of Red String Vol.6 with us as well as the new Roll With It t-shirts! Looking forward to seeing you there!

Hee hee! Finally got a Star Trek piece finished. I've been wanting to do something with Spock for a while now, but I finally finally have something. I drew this with the thought of "You can't go home again."

Had a bit of fun drawing the Doctor and River Song. River is definitely growing on me since the start of the sixth season.

BABY STUFF: We want to thank all the wonderful readers who have helped us out so far on our Babies R Us registry (Registry #46796360)! Your generosity is so very appreciated! If you want to pitch in on the registry, please feel free. Anything from the list, no matter how big or small is very appreciated and our baby will be as thankful as we are for your support.

We had the latest checkup and the baby id developing well! As I move into month seven of pregnancy, boy, am I getting round! Ha! It’s getting a bit tough to sit at the art desk with the belly, but I am still managing to hang in there. We’ve decided not to reveal the baby name to the world wide web at this time (maybe someday), but we are happy to tell you we are having a girl according to the ultrasound.

Figured I'd just snag the image I posted up at RedStringComic.com




Wow, so as the Sketch Friday image announced, we are having a girl! Above are a couple of the ultrasound photos we received. We’re so very excited and are proud to share the news with you wonderful readers.

If you WANT to send something (you are obviously not required in any way), we are registered at Babies R Us under the Registry #46796360. We’re starting from scratch since this is our first child, so there are many different items on the list of all different price ranges. Small, cheap items are just as welcome as other items. Again, you are not required to send/buy anything.
