I’ve been edited Macchina for print! I finished the first three chapters, including redoing all the dialogue (and I mean ALL of it) and the speech bubbles, as well as fixing some minor issues (like the skewing on one page).  I hand bound the first three chapters which were on display at my BFA show and review!

I have gotten a table at Otakon, and am now finishing editing the last two chapters! I’m trying to finish my character sheets so I can have color character sheets in the back of the printed book, which will hopefully be for sale at Otakon! I’m not sure what kind of products I will have, but I’ll definitely be taking commissions!

I’m moving to Washington, DC in three days (almost done packing), and I have also set up a UStream so you can watch me work on the comic pages during the week! As well as other things, like inking and coloring.

Also, I have this undying urge to make a CaramellDansen video for the Macchina characters. IF ONLY I KNEW FLASH.

For anyone who can attend, you are invited to the Salisbury University 40th Biannual Senior Art Show. I’m on the exhibition committee and the show is pretty darn swank! I’ll be dressed as a business zombie for the closing reception and awards ceremony.

Macchina is still going to be on hold until the end of my semester. I’ve got much work to do- I’ve got another art show on May 1st (deadline for submission April 25th), two art history research papers, and trying to find a job in an economy this awful.

The next update will be in mid- June (I graduate May 22nd and am moving to the DC/Baltimore area shortly thereafter). I am taking this time to rewrite parts of the story and change two characters that have not been introduced yet.

Wish me luck and please do come back in June!

(The above awesome zombie postcard was compiled by the invitation committee, but the original zombie was drawn by my roommate Kelsey Werner, my eternal art rival!)

END CHAPTER FIVE/ VOLUME ONE

Thanks for reading so far! As per my update, I’m taking a small break from Macchina. Expect a printed edition within the next few months (it is in desperate need of editing XD).

Debut of Volume 2 should be at the start of April! Though this is my senior semester at college, and things might get a little crazy! Please bear with me! XD

And now for  something completely different!

Okay, i seriously love the way this page came out XDDDDD

But is it all just gossip?
