Spent Thursday in Santa Fe, just walking around. It’s so odd to be a place visually so drastically different. It awakens the senses a bit, and makes you question how things are done differently. And it’s such a good feeling to sit in a cafe in a strange town, writing letters to friends. One of life’s pure pleasures.

Can I tell you how beautiful the Southwest is? It is frikkin’ gorgeous. Today was mild and sunny and the hills have pockets of snow and it all looks like your on earth under water. I love it.

Not a lot to blog. Been working on drawing Girl Genius. And spent the last day doing almost nothing bu finishing the hull and the room Vagus is in. I like how it’s coming out.

Cheers!

Blogging from the Albany airport, awaiting to take of to Albuquerque (where I’ll remember to take that right turn, thank you, Dan). Come to the Albuquerque Comic Con this weekend, say hello. Good times.

It’ll be a nice vacation, and I’ll be staying with my good friends Cedra and Fred. It would be nice to be a tad warmer, they’re about 5,000 feet up so it’s chilly, but it will be so lovely to be in desert again, new sights, and NOT below zero during the day. I’m psyched.

Nothing much of news. Getting ready for my trip to Albuquerque in a couple days (I’ll be tabling at the ABQ Comic Con, come to it!). It’ll be cold there, but nice to be in a different place AND in non-subzero temps. Plus I’ll be staying with good friends, including Fred (the one who has helped me with all the science!), where I’ll enjoy good company and good food.

Had a lovely lunch with some art friends today. Ran errands. Drew. Good times.

This weekend I’ll be at the Albuquerque Comic Con! Come! See! I’ll have Spacetrawler and Little Dee books.

A good weekend of walking on errands through very cold days. Built a couple cat shelters with Styrofoam coolers and straw. Sat in a cafe Saturday night and enjoyed some music. Snuggled on the couch with my sweetie.

Thanks to Ian for the Spacetrawler mention on his blog Top 100 Graphic Novels.

Okay, Corey (my web guy who I’d perish without) switched this site to a different server, and it’s running much better. Yay! Thank you, Corey!

Anime eyes. Quite a few of you commented on the last strip about how everyone had anime eyes except for the captain. Did I mention I’m sort of figuring out the art in a somewhat trial-by-fire? Anyhow, I had created the captain at a different time than the other characters and forgot the eye-difference. So, I updated the captain’s eyes, which are now like the rest. Oh, and to those curious about the sci-fi angle of that, I’m afraid there is none. It’s just a style of drawing, I won’t be attributing large eyes due to evolution or genetic modification. (and when I get a chance, I’ll go back in and update the first two strips).

So, the running of my fill-in for Girl Genius has begun! Friday will be the second strip. So read. it. READ IT. I’m having a great time drawing this, Phil and Kaja’s writing is always hilarious.

So, on New Year’s Day, which I oddly ended up taking off, I did (among other things) go and build a wee cat castle out of boxes. So far they at least like to lie on top of it (that’s Lucy).

In exchange, they left me a gift, which I’ll share with you (with only slight color modifications):
