Not too much this week. The last week has been especially busy with editing taking up every spare moment for the most part as well as the beginnings of a potential new project with a lot of scope and ambition behind it.
This is one of the frustrating aspects of comics in general, it is a slow ship to turn sometimes and it can be a while before you can tell everyone you’re coming into port and what you’re bringing with you. Needless to say I’m excited about each and every one of these projects. I shall spill all I can when I can. In the interim:
-
Ganzeer has a new story up at Times New Human. This one is entitled Complete Autonomy. As before, I did the editing on this story.
-
An update on shipping for the physical copies of Metropo dropped. Read that here.
And we’re straight into the links, I’m afraid (be honest, that’s why you’re all here) as I’ve been racing a dragon boat on the river in Worcester all day on about 5 hours of sleep due to attending a late night performance of a ballet (only the second one I’ve seen. I think I ‘got it’ this time around).
I can schedule anything and everything but a social life it seems.
