A Little Half-Assed and a Little Late
I’m ok! Everything is fine!
Ok, I’m a little stressed. But I will make my deadlines, because I always make my deadlines. For better or worse, I am extremely motivated by people’s expectations of me, especially when it’s work-related. I’d rather walk over hot coals than miss a deadline.
Upcoming Things:
CAKE IS THIS WEEKEND!! CAKE Chicago is June 28 and 29 at the Irish American Heritage Center at 4626 N. Knox Ave in Chicago! It is free! It is an easy walk from the Montrose blue line stop! I’ll be at table 304A. Please come check it out! I will have many books and prints! I will also have my brand new Squid Ink riso prints!!
I will also have a bunch of random old watercolor paintings, including these food art fascinators.
I will also have a series of tiny watercolor paintings of very good outfits worn by Dean Stockwell as Al on Quantum Leap.
Anyway, CAKE is rad as heck, and will be chock full of amazing artists with amazing work to check out. It really is one of the best curated indie comics shows in existence, and it’s completely free. Be there!
Hey Sarah, how’s the book going:
See above!! 174/192 pages! Again, this is just the pencils, but I should be able to finish 18 more pages and get them all sorted into my InDesign document by Tuesday. Then I can relax a little and just finish up the colors over the next month and a half.
What I’m into lately:
Still listening to House of Bone and Rain by Gabino Iglesias! It’s creepy, dark and tbh contains a little more physical violence than I normally like, but it’s compelling and intensely atmospheric. Also, please do not judge me, I am also playing Hello Kitty Island Adventure because it’s the exact amount of mindless low-stakes fetch-questing that my overly taxed brain desperately needs right now.
What Toki’s into lately:
Ok, so this is a terrible photo, sorry about that. But Toki was spoiled immensely by his Aunt Yoojin and Uncle Sam this weekend with lots of toys and treats and playing and brushing. He was overjoyed, but I think he’s a little tuckered out now. He’s been curled up in a little corner at the bottom of a bookshelf in my studio all day sleeping!
