Lapse

The www.bearbuttcomics.com domain has lapsed.  After thinking about it for a while we are letting it go.  While it was nice to have, I don't think it is paying off as an investment.  I think I need to look at more modern avenues to get my comics out there, and there are better ways to do that.  Part of me feels like I am somehow "less official" without a website.  I will be trying those things as soon as some young whippersnapper tells me what they are.


GET OFF MY LAWN!

Let's see how this goes

Wendy and her mother are going on a trip this weekend.  I plan to work on sketches and sketch cards for Heroescon.  I wonder how much I will really get done.

Post issue 12 post

I've been working at getting issue 12 done for so long, I am a bit lost what to do with my time.  Heroescon is coming soon.  I need to do some sketches and sketch cards.  I have a print I want to have in time for the show, and some arranging to do with the table space.


But I'm still down about this past weekend.  Knowing something is bound to happen doesn't mean you are ready for it.

I have finally sent issue 12 to the printer (Ka-Blam, a great company that I have had great experiences with)!  I have been working at this for a long while.  I should definitely have it for Heroescon in Charlotte on June 19th.  I was looking forward to this for so long that I should be dancing.


But our dog passed away this morning.  We recently found out she had cancer, and things went bad quickly.  We had 2 weeks of relative normalcy with her after that, but today was the end.  She was 13 years old, and the smartest dog I have ever known.  So to be very honest, I have spent most of today with tears filling my eyes and rolling down my cheeks.


After all of that, I sent off issue 12.  Mixed.

Page 24!

I just finished inking Page 24 of issue 12!  Now to the cover.  So Close!

Almost

Last night I finished the inks on page 22.  My goal is to be finished inking issue 12 of Intermezzo, including the cover on Sunday.

Disappointing convention

Went to a convention in Richmond today; sparse crowd, did not seem at all interested in the artists (so it wasn't just me).  So it was a slow day, didn't make a lot of sales.  Those happen, its been a while since I had one of those days, but I am well familiar with riding them out.


But I finished inking page 20 and began page 21, so I feel like I accomplished something.
