Wow. Are we really three weeks from Christmas already? Where the hell did the time go? I’ve seen years fly by before, but this one…yikes. I hope this Monday update finds everyone recovered from Thanksgiving and getting ready for the Christmas holiday with a happy heart. Christmas has always been one of my favorite holidays, not for all the cool gifts I seem to get from very thoughtful family and friends, but more for the general feeling of the season. People seem nicer somehow, less stressed, and less angry, and I think we could use a bit more of that quite honestly.
A bit of Dynagirl sketchwork by the incomparable Harold Edge. I can honestly say I’ll never get bored seeing what he does with her!
So anyway, I mentioned some exciting stuff coming down the pipeline when last we talked, yes? WOO! First off, the debut of our new, and still in the works venture called Bloomin’ Faeries was a huge success at the Austin Comic Con, with fans responding quite well to the two art prints we had available at the show. We’ll soon be putting out a few more in that series as well as fleshing out plans for the book to accompany them, so stay tuned for that.
Next up, I’m back to writing! These last few months have been…slow for me on a creative front. Sure, I’ve been lettering, both for Red Handed Studios and for other folks here and there, but beyond that my creative stuff has been largely sidelined with other things going on. Logistics, school, home life, work life, it all plots against you from time to time and the next thing you know you look up and it’s been half a year without so much as a paragraph on paper! That sucks, and I hate it. So I’m fixing it, one chapter and script at a time. Right now I’ve got no less than 8 scripts in my workflow that have to be completed, and it’s my personal goal to get them all done by mid January at the latest. Some sooner than others of course, but you get the picture. What this means is, we’ll have two more graphic novels coming out next year, minimum, in addition to the Dynagirl trade paperback, more content for the Dynagirl webcomic, and perhaps a children’s book and a novel as well. So yeah, I’m pounding the keys like there’s not tomorrow with some bad intentions!
In the next year we’re looking to be VERY busy as a studio. The aforementioned new stuff we want to put out, plus stepping up our show appearances as much as possible is going to keep us running amok like you’ve never seen before. We’re going to try to hit some shows we haven’t seen in a few years, and maybe a couple we’ve never seen at all! So stay tuned for those announcements both here on this site and on the sister site over at Dead Reckoning as well.
And even that’s really not all we have going. The problem is, I can’t spill it all in one whack, and some of it I can’t even talk about yet. More next Monday, I promise. Till then…keep enjoying issue 7!
