     • Added 1 new page: A* Episode 20, Page 13
 
As I mentioned in an impromptu post over the weekend, I just got the silly idea of putting each new A* page drawing--the original pencil art, I mean--up for bid eBay, pretty much as I draw them. I've already got the line art for today's page up for auction, as well as those for the previous two days; you can pop over to check them out by way of the sorta orangey yellow gold "original on eBay" link beneath them in the comic browser, although here are their direct auction links for posterity: Hello Dalí, Alone, and The Planet Below.
 
See I get to give them titles, which is fun. Photos of the drawings go up in these auctions before the pages themselves appear on A*--because it takes me hours afterward to color them, you know--and the titles will mostly be based on the dialogue that will appear in the final page ("Hello Dalí" isn't part of the page 11 dialogue, obviously, but maybe you can figure that one out : ), so I suppose the line art and its title constitute a kinda teaser for the finished page that'll appear later in the evening. I'm going to be posting links to them as soon as they're posted to eBay on the A* Twitter, A* Google+ and A* Facebook accounts (oh hm and you can probably also just follow my eBay profile directly--yes it is a silly, very old name that was easy to type : p), so you can keep an eye on those if you're interested in getting these as previews of sorts.
 
Besides which, since the auctions start at just $0.99, this is probably gonna be a pretty inexpensive way for people to pick up actual A* original art, if you're interested. I mean, I hope to make a couple bucks on some of them here and there (page 12 has already shot right up to $10 :ooo) buuuut I'm sure there will be plenty available for a steal. Anyhoo I certainly appreciate anyone who puts up a bid on any of these--it's a little embarrassing how much spring that $10 put in my step today. I suppose being excited at the prospect of getting $10 for a day's work means you've been in webcomics too long, but hey, :D.
