ComiqueCon was a huge success! Organized by Chelsea Liddy, with the help of Dan and Katie Merritt from Green Brain Comics, the first-ever all-female comics show drew over 350 attendees — and national coverage. Reports from the press, exhibitors, and attendees were overwhelmingly positive, and I sure hope this turns into an annual thing, because I had a fantastic time, … Read More

Over the last couple of months, I’ve been doing some pinups for folks. I don’t want to share them all quite yet because I want the giftees to have the right of first post.

ConFusion

I went to ConFusion yesterday, just the one day. the highlight of the afternoon was getting the chance to speak with Peter S. Beagle for a short time while he was autographing. He had a chair set next to him, and each autograph-seeker would sit down, drinking in his soft storyteller’s voice, best appreciated side-by-side rather than across a huckster’s … Read More

Tell it, Joey

Joey Manley, ladies and gentlemen. I don’t even consider myself a webcomicker. I’m a graphic novelist who publishes her betaware on the web. Or used to. And hopes to do so again soon.

Home from SPX and soooo tired… but if I don’t do the con report tonight, I’ll never get to it, so here goes: Had an absolutely fantastic time, as always. SPX has always been my hands-down favorite show, and this year was no exception. I got the chance to hang out with old friends and new, sell a metric butt-ton … Read More

I have recently heard a few people start slagging on James Sime of Isotope Comics and The Comics Pimp fame. I feel moved to speak out about this not because I feel James needs defending (he’s got a bat-wielding crew of Funwreckers who can take care of that) but because I feel strongly about the subject. And because I can; … Read More
