First off, Bart Simpson #62 has a story penciled by me in it. I'm working on a special story for Simpsons Comics right now -- written by Ian Boothby -- and I'm pretty excited about it. Stay tuned for news on that!

Meat Bun, known for their stylish video game T-shirts, has just released their 20XX Line. I drew four of the designs! Three were commissioned by Meat Bun (Real Soviet Damage, Honda Onsen and Emperor of Muay Thai) and one was just something I drew for fun (Shao Khalvin) that got made into a T-shirt. Check them out!

Last Friday, Game Center CX came to LA. ]]> http://spacecoyote.deviantart.com/journal/Chicago-Comic-Con-Aug-11-14-251634884 http://spacecoyote.deviantart.com/journal/Chicago-Comic-Con-Aug-11-14-251634884 Sun, 07 Aug 2011 21:41:25 PDT Chicago Comic-Con Aug 11-14 nonadult journals/personal spacecoyote http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/p/spacecoyote.gif?4 Copyright 2011-2013 `spacecoyote @spacecoyotl
Right next to me will be Ian Boothby, prolific Simpsons Comics writer and creator/writer of our short comic "My Deadbeat Dad" as well as another short comic I'll be doing artwork for. If I'm not at my table it's mostly likely because I'm checking out the convention and I will probably have bribed a friend of mine to stay and guard it!

Friday at 2 pm, I'll be doing a "Women in Comics" panel with Pia Guerra (Ian's wife and artist of "Y The Last Man") and Lillie Carré. ]]> http://spacecoyote.deviantart.com/journal/space-on-tumblr-218604588 http://spacecoyote.deviantart.com/journal/space-on-tumblr-218604588 Fri, 20 May 2011 14:50:03 PDT space on tumblr nonadult journals/personal spacecoyote http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/p/spacecoyote.gif?4 Copyright 2011-2013 `spacecoyote @spacecoyotl

As many people know, I've been using the name "space coyote" for several years. I adopted it as my screenname around 12 years ago, and ever since, I've been using it in place of my real name. Most people know me better as space coyote than Nina Matsumoto.

In June 2003, I registered spacecoyote.com. The domain used to belong to an American band, Space Coyote.

In December 2008, "Paul Fredric" (a penname for two authors) trademarked the term "SpaceCoyotes" (spacecoyotes.com) for their self-published novel "SpaceCoyotes and the Secret of the Blue Planet," and now they want me to stop using "space co ]]> http://spacecoyote.deviantart.com/journal/The-Escapist-article-233134894 http://spacecoyote.deviantart.com/journal/The-Escapist-article-233134894 Tue, 03 Mar 2009 11:08:02 PST The Escapist article nonadult journals/personal spacecoyote http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/p/spacecoyote.gif?4 Copyright 2009-2013 `spacecoyote @spacecoyotl

No, I won't draw "Family Guy", because I'm not a fan of that show or Seth McFarlane's brand of comedy.

I also won't draw "South Park" (dozens of other talented artists have already done realistic renditions of those characters), "King of the Hill" (as much as I love that series, the designs are already pretty realistic), "American Dad" (see: Family Guy), etc. etc....
