Catching up
I'm still recovering from whatever curse I put on my back, trying to catch up with the jobs I couldn't do standing up. Today: a bookplate for Wicked Things volume 1 (there is currently little prospect of a volume 2 but stranger things have happened!)
I have to decide today whether to follow Circus Windows with a straight Steeple story or the Lottie-Steeple-Shelley crossover. I have both fully broken down, I just have to decide which one to spend the next two months drawing. Some days I feel like the crossover is a technical exercise, then I look at the notes and it is very fun and perhaps not what people will expect. Tomorrow I have to sit down and write the script for one of them. Don't worry, neither of them is terrible. They're just different.
The Circus Windows pt 2 PDF will be up for $3 and up patrons on Monday! I finished it last week. Teeth clenched, "smiling" through the pain. Like Wolverine "smiles" on the cover of an X-Men comic.
I found out recently that Wolverine has, for some years, had no nose. This was remedied with a "hologram projector" and the comics have never straightened it out and given him a real nose again. Somebody has to get this news to Hugh Jackman.

I have a little project in mind to reunite Lottie and Claire, though it will be a while until it emerges. I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to work with Max on Wicked Things again but my hope is to keep Lottie in business, one way or another.
Whom at Boom! Studios do I need to email voicing passionate desire for the continuation of Wicked Things
It would be wonderful to see more Wicked Things some day, in some form. I'd love to see more of the Lottie/Claire dynamic considering they were kept apart for much of the first series.
Lottie & Claire are my favorite dynamic, if I have to fund WT2 myself I'll do it :P
Take your time♡.
This is the best Ex Libris since Antonio Rubino's ones♡♡! I would love to see the crossover. But there's any chance for "Destroy History" part 2?
I really want to do part 2, I'm just struggling to come up with good ideas for it.
As much as I hate to probably not see the 'Wicked Things' mistery resolved, I am almost freaking out about Lottie and Shelley crashing Tegredyn! (Well, I guess it's them going Steeple-Side, not vice-versa.)
Any chance of putting out Circus Windows part 1 as an ebook along with part 2?
Both parts are free as eBooks to $3 and up subscribers, I can't sell them out and out on my Gumroad.
What are the chances of seeing your recent stuff (Steeple, Circus Windows etc) in print? Would you consider doing it yourself?
Dark Horse are printing the Steeple stories I did last summer as a volume 2, out in the summer. Hopefully we will manage a third at some point. Circus Windows is a little trickier. Not sure I'll ever be able to put that out myself.
Wolverine has no nose? But then how does he smell?
TERRIBLE
