  Blame it on the sweet, sweet pensOct 27, 2010 7:32 AM PDT | url
 
Added 1 new A* page:I was so woozy from working over the weekend yesterday that when I was signing all the prints I made for the upcoming show, I signed two of them upside-down. :o In fairness to myself, one of them had an upside-down person in it, so... *cough* Anyway it's a good thing my dad urged me to print two of each. >_>
 
When we were at the art supply store--to buy frames; we needed way more than they had ;P--I found their pen section, and was somewhat surprised to find myself drooling over all the fancy brush pens they have these days--those are the big sort of tapering felt nib pens that a lot of other webcomic people use for inking their strips, and that a lot of superhero comic people seem to use for quick drawings done for visitors at conventions. They're so neat...but I work entirely digitally, so why do I want one so badly? So I resisted...but I was able to justify buying a few metallic silver Pitt pens for signing the prints; they're much nicer than the Sharpies I had. But apparently they have this writing-upside-down glitch...
 
Gosh this column needs some more art in it... Oh hey look, here's a preliminary version of a free postcard I'm thinking of handing out at the show:

What ya think? The text (name, web site, etc) would be on the left side. The head is actually from an A* storyboard sketch--a quickie, but it somehow seemed to come out pretty nice--and then I added in a bit of body to fill out a bit more of the card. Here's a larger and slightly cropped version.
