a brief interruption regarding cash money

You might know that for the last few months I’ve been hard at work on a big article for a big-ish publisher. This week I found out how much that publisher is going to be paying me… So, to make a long story short, I’m selling originals! All the pages from my minicomics are up for grabs (though some are less Photoshopped than others), as are the Israel diary comics originals (two to a page, or I can cut them down). Or if anyone wanted to commission something, I’d be more than happy to do that too. Get in touch for pricing, but I assure you that I’m pretty cheap. I’ll be posting a full list of pages available and prices soon on the Storefront page.

Also of note: Nine Gallons is temporarily sold out. Though I said I wouldn’t, I’m going to do a second run within the next couple weeks. These ones will still cost $5, but I’ll be painting each cover by hand. Yes, this is totally insane, but I can’t really afford to do another run with the color covers and I don’t want to just go black and white, so there you have it. You can still order them now and I’ll send them out as soon as I’ve got ‘em. If you just can’t wait, I think Microcosm still has a few of the old ones available. (And hey, while you’re over there, feel free to leave a nice comment about me! Or a mean one, whatever, measure it in inches and all that.)

Last three diary comics, plus a few deleted scenes are coming up within the next few days.

fairy tales: I don’t know them

Me: It’s like Chicken Fucking Little over here. I’m planting my seeds and sifting my flour and no one’s around til I’m done baking my bread.
My mom: Um, it’s the Little Red Hen, dear.
Me: Oh. Well. Whatever.
My mom: (laughter) Chicken Little was the one who said the sky is falling.
Me: Oh the Little Red Hen had a pessimistic kid and everyone was surprised??

This will be a comic when I’m done with the diaries I’m sure. Four more, so keep your pants on! I know I am!

diary comics alert (day two)

I’m posting daily diary comics from my trip to Israel on Flickr. Should I cross-post them here? I don’t know, that seems sort of redundant. Either way you should check those suckers out. One every day ’til I’m done (there are only ten).

Boy do they take longer than I initially suspected — but they’re also more rewarding than I thought they’d be, so I guess it evens out. Not like it’s got me seriously considering diary comics in the long-term though — especially since my normal life is even more boring than sleeping on planes.

Update: Okay, I’m cross-posting. See the first comic back-dated below. And stay tuned and all that.
