Hey! Did you hear? There's this comics convention going on down in San Diego this week?
Yeah, so I'm going to SDCC again, after skipping the last couple. I don't have a table, I'm not speaking on any panels, I don't even really have much of a gameplan other than catching up with a few old friends, camping at a couple booths from time to time, trying to catch a few panels (especially the SPACED panel and screening on friday!) and maybe buy a book or two from some friends.
In a perfect world, I'd have had Ellie started up six months ago and would be going to SDCC to promote the webcomic and to meet with potential publishers about a book deal. I think I'll have to save that for next year, though.
I don't really have much to say about it that I haven't already said, or that I won't say at some point soon, but I'd be remiss in not mentioning that Ellie Connelly has officially begun! Go, check it out, and don't forget to come back on friday when I post the second episode! whee!
The launch is getting closer, and I just finally finished this 'hero' image of Henry for the Cast page. Look at him, he's clearly ready for a very serious adventure, possibly involving some sort of spelunking.
It's official, Ellie Connelly launches next monday, July 21st! My update plan is to put up a new strip (1/4 of a page) every Monday, Wednesday and Friday when I have new content. some of the strips will be double-height half-pages, which will have to count as two updates, so I'd be skipping an update. I'll make mention of it in the blog when that happens, so hopefully it won't be a disappointment.
Now, at the moment I have seven pages completely ready to go, which gives me a buffer that should last until the middle of September, so I can promise at least a couple months of regular updates right off the bat. When those pages are finished running, I'll start posting the work I'm doing in the meantime, and hopefully I can maintain some sort of buffer. That being said, though, I expect to get to a point where I'll need to take a break from updating so I can get ahead again.
Until then, though, I hope you'll all follow along with the comic and join me on the adventure! And help spread the word!
Whipped these cards up this evening, as something to hand out at San Diego to promote the webcomic. I was pretty pleased with myself over these, believe it or not. Sadly, now my fictional character has better calling cards than I do. Not sure what to make of that...
check out what arrived in the ups today! A box of stickers for my Tarot packs!
The little round green stickers I was using to seal the 8-Bit Tarot packs weren't working so well, so I ordered myself a whole bunch of these little stickers. Plus, I've got a jigillion extra, so I have a nice new little giveaway at cons now. woot!
and as a bonus, I managed to hack a tiny little chunk out of my thumb when the scissors slipped and swung, machete-like, as I was opening the box, which is the first time I've injured myself with office supplies in a long time! No blood, luckily, but a good little scare nonetheless.
