I'm very happy to say I successfully made my goal/deadline to finish drawing my first graphic novel by the end of the year. Now it's going to be half year of coloring the dang thing.

And a warm welcome to all my new uh... watchers... Okay that sounds creepy. I'm just gonna call you all Uatus instead.

So new Uatus! Thank you for all the wonderful comments so far. It's really making my day. If you like that comic, maybe check out my webcomic Cleopatra in Space if you get a chance? It's um... not updating right now but it will again next year. So lots of time to catch up! http://www.cleopatrainspace.com

I've never sold anything on eBay before, and I rarely sell original art, so this should be a fun experiment! or a disappointing one. Either way, it'll be an experiment! And now that I actually have something set up on there, maybe I'll offer some other original arts in the future.

I'll also be on a webcomics panel Sunday morning. Here's the info on that:

First up there is the interview I did with Tim Young of the Deconstructing Comics podcast. I talk about all sorts of stuff in this one and ramble a lot. Most of time I'm not even sure I'm answering the questions correctly and I'm pretty sure I mispronounce at least four people's names during the whole of it all. But as far as I can remember, it was pretty comics/Cleo centric and I tried to be as interesting as possible. You can listen to it HERE.

The gist of it is this: tweet, facebook, or blog (or all three) what you love about Cleopatra in Space (or you know, whatever book on there you love) and, as long as you link back to the The Illustrated Section (presumably HERE), you could win stuff! Stuff like a $100 Apple gift card! Also I can win stuff, which is also great. So everyone should go do this right now because it's easy. But if you are super busy, you have till the end of April. Make sure to read the contest rules though to make sure your entries count.

I only took on a few sketches while I was there but I'll still try to post some later this week (as badly photographed as some of them might be). I think some of them came out pretty good. For now I have some comics to draw (yay!) and some taxes to file (ick).
