Fresh Meat aftermath

I am mentioned (by penname) in this here article.   I am rather proud of this.  Megan, Allison, Pat, Hanni, and a few others are mentioned as well.  Hurray for being noticed!

As for MoCCA- I have to decide a few things.  I would really like to spend the time to make some nice, fresh covers for the Waldgrave Manor Issues I have finished, and I’d also like to print out some more copies of ManEatingTiger.  Unfortunately, these both require time and money, two things which I am tight on at the moment.  So, for the moment, nothing is settle; I still need to decide exactly what I am bringing to MoCCA.  Unfortunately, I will probably not have any new material ready in time, but I still look forward to the event.

Tigers, and the Men That Eat Them

So right now I am working hard to finish up my anthology comic by tomorrow, Man Eating Tiger, or Man-Eating Tiger.

These’re the covers, I’m rather proud of them-

Planning to sell these at Fresh Meat, and also probably at the MoCCA Art Festival.

oh man, it has been a while

well. Sophomore year is almost over, and I am EXHAUSTED.

Fancy, right?

School, NYAF, and such.

Ooh, been a while since I posted here.

Annnnyway I’ve really been enjoying being back in New York.  The two weeks I spend as an OL were great, and I made a lot of friends in other majors that I wouldn’t have been otherwise able to meet.  Also, I got a free mohawk!  Yay!

So this weekend is the New York Anime Fest, and I will be helping to run SVA’s booth.  I am sooo excited to finally be on the other side of the table as an exhibitor, even if I am doing it through the school!    Megan and I will be selling issues of Starry Knights at the table, as well as a whole slew of other excellent comics and prints from SVA students.

All in all, things have been going pretty well for me lately, even if I am swamped with tons of work.  It’s a good kind of work.

Sophomore Year

Okay, so… I am ridiculously excited about starting all my classes.  Summer break was just waaaay too long; I missed the city, I missed my friends, I even missed the work…!  I’m… a little bit nervous about Woodruff’s class, I have heard so many things about the man (he’s brilliant, he’s nuts, he’s a hardass, he’s rude, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, he makes kids cry, he brings out the best in his students, etc.) that I don’t what to think.  But… I wil just have to make my own opinions for myself, I guess.  That’s as usual, anyway.  I will deal with it, either way.

I am also looking into a job at the school’s library… I think that a work-study thing will be much better for me than the Duane Reade, because in addition to my managers NOT BEING HUGE DICKS they will understand that I’m a student.. and have to do student-things… and will not give me shifts to working during class time (something which DR did to both me and another student working there… jerks.)  So yeah.  And if not the library, then hopefully somewhere else that is work-study.  Yup.  The mons is goods. 

Ohhhh I am so excited for this year.  Yay!  XD

Pilobolus

I find this to be ridiculously awesome… how come I hadn’t heard of these guys before?

Emmy Cicierega

I am fairly certain that I love everything that this girl makes.

Bonus:  Emmy is the younger sister of Niel Cicierega, creator of Potter Puppet Pals.

So this is what I have been working on:

Starry Knights

Uhm, uhm… it’s not anywhere near finished yet… there is more graphics to go up, links to link, pages to make… not to mention that things are not laying out the way that I thought they would, so I am entirely reformatting it… but still, something is more than nothing, right?

The official launch of the comic will be on September 1st.  Megan and I have both been working very hard and are very excited about this… so basically, everybody and their grandma should go read it, okay?

Uhm.. synopsis?

Starry Knights is the story of Maggie (a girl adventurer) and Sam (a prince who likes unicorns).  Murder mysteries, pirate fights, royal curses, and flying islands ensue, all with a light touch of comedy.

Writing it’s been a great load of fun, really.  I am too tired to really get in depth right now, and if you let me I’d end up giving the whole plot away.  Oh yeah, and there are fairies.  And an ice princess.  And some traveling musicians, a psychic cartographer, an order of gymnast nuns, er… I am getting carried away by my own two feet now.  Blah blah blah.  Whatsits.

Robots and Cockroaches

Wall-E

So, I finally saw Pixar’s new movie, Wall-E.  It was… even better than I’d imagned it would be.  I mean, it’s pretty hard to sketch a post-apocalyptic world that’s appropriate for a kid’s movie, but hey, they pulled it off somehow.  And of course, the fact that the two main characters, Wall-E and EVE say little besides their own names does nothing but add to their character.  Pixar has yet again pulled off a beautiful, touching movie with rich characters– not to mention a little “Art Throughout History” montage during the credits.  Anyone else catch the Seurat and Van Gogh references?

Exhausted

Augh.. it’s only my third day working as a camp counselor for four-year olds and already I’m worried that I won’t make it through the summer.  These little kids really wear me out!

 

Hopefully I will have time on the weekend to do more interesting things.  Until then, it’s all overenthusiasm and confidence-boosting praise from me.
