I am working on a 15 page prologue to a comic (Kindling) that I will be printing for the convention. It is a PAID comic project, so it kind of takes precedence over Macchina! I’m sorry guys..!! ;____; I have 5 double page spreads left to pencil (10 pages), and then ink the whole 15 page project, with about 17 days until the convention!

WISH ME LUCK..!!!!!

Macchina is updated on average every 10 days. I’m trying to pick up the pace on this, to get it down to a solid once or twice a week, but as of right now it’s proving unlikely. I post progress images on my Tumblr, or keep up with my Twitter or watch me (or the Macchina community) on DeviantArt for notifications of when I update.

Upcoming Releases
I’ve signed a contract to draw the prologue to what might be a steady, long-term comic project. The project is called Kindling, and it is post-apocalyptic and written by a writer I very much admire (my old ST from the Exalted game before he moved to Chicago, Jason). The thumbnails and roughs for the first 10 pages can be found on Deviantart as well as on Tumblr. It is 15 pages, full color, and will hopefully be completed and printed for Small Press Expo in Bethesda, MD, Sept 10-11.

I will also be (fingers crossed) getting the Chapter 7 lineart to Tifany to flat, and have a Chapter 7 book (in color) for SPX as well, but I’m not sure if I can pull off two new books for one convention. It might have to wait until Nekocon.

Upcoming Conventions
I will have tables at:
-Otakon: Baltimore, MD
July 29-31
-Small Press Expo: Bethesda, MD
September 10-11
-Intervention: Bethesda, MD
September 16-18

So, here I go, off to find a temporary external monitor because I can’t afford to replace my computer.

I’m not sure when my next update will be. Hopefully this week. I get paid on Tuesday and can buy a monitor then.

ARGGGHHH.

So much rage inside me.

I don’t have a new place to live yet, and my scanner is in storage until I can find a place. I have a page almost finished that I will post up soon, but at this point I am more concerned with finding a place to live than updating the comic. Stay tuned to my twitter for the latest updates.

I’ve tried everything I know how to do, and it won’t turn on. I thought I had a replacement warranty- I’ve got to look for it, but until I can get my scanner replaced, I can’t update my comic as easily as I could before.

I’m going to bring my pages tomorrow to try to scan and hopefully when my tech saavy boyfriend comes home, he can fix it.

Ugh. It’s been giving me issues lately.. ;_;

God damnit, why do I have so many obligations? I thought I would have this whole weekend to doing nothing, but ended up doing something consuming at least 5-6 hours both saturday and sunday! Ugh. And next weekend is packed as well.
