EoQ stuff

So another quarter is over. I'm that much closer to graduating from the graduate program. Shoujo Phonebook Artist's Alley went very well. I managed to sell quite a bit of the merchandise that I took with me. A few of Rashad Doucet's comic My Dog is a Superhero, which he's made as a prep for the SanDiego Comicon. Also sold some of Rick Winward's work, Bucketboy. I will pester Rick until he gets a website up somewhere, I promise. The man, like many others I know at SCAD Seqa, has talent you can't shake a horse at. (It's hard to shake a horse at anything, I know.)

As a side note, conventions are still out of budget for me for this year. Withstanding a potential jaunt up to Atlanta in September and perhaps the drive to Charlotte next weekend for Heroes', I'm still Savannah-laden for the meantime. I'll get up to convention speed at some point, one hopes. I've got thesis, and inking, and a lot of other eevil stuff to get done between now and then.

One not so evil thing that's on the horizon is the first run of a book I've worked on. (More info on that as I finalize it.) I'm also plugging through the pencils on the webcomic. After getting some input from professors and the like, one of the important things is apparently consistency. It keeps your readers coming back. It's true, too. I can't even express the number of webcomics that I read once or twice and then dropped because I wasn't that interested in something I couldn't get a regular dose of.

Speaking of webcomics!

There's two compatriots of mine whose webcomics you should definitely check out. The first one is Jarrett B. Williams' Lunarboy Land. (This is also a book that will be going into volume 2 in August of this year. Jarrett rockz. No joke.)

The second is Miss M!a's Wonderland. Written by M!a, drawn by Chrissy Delk, Wonderland is quite a magical trip through the looking glass. (Chrissy and Mia also have a book out by Iris Print, called Paintings of You. It's a really sweet love story. ^_^)

And now back to the dulldrums. I've got work to finish, meetings to organize, and (believe it or not) a man to contact about a contract. (Though that won't happen until next week sometime, he's moving across the country. @_@)

Shanti, shanti, shanti.
