Lackadaisy Culpability

vogeleinComix, Nerdery

I know all the world has already linked to this wonderful comic by Tracy J. Butler of Lackadaisy Cats by now, but it’s worth mentioning again, because it’s given me the push I need to admit that I have a problem with the dreaded smarm brow. Oh the embarrassment! Thanks for the amazing work, Tracy, and for helping keep me … Read More

An awesome librarian let me know I got an early Christmas present this year: I got a mention in The School Library Journal‘s Best Books of 2010 issue as part of their “Steampunk: Full Steam Ahead” list! I’m so excited — thanks so much for the heads-up, TKM! Man, it’s hard for me to get my brain around the fact … 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.

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.

SPX 09 Con Report

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 left my brains in San Francisco…

vogeleinNerdery, Vogelein

Home again from APE. As far as shows go, this one is sure hard to beat. Financially speaking, it wasn’t very lucrative — I didn’t break even — though I just about paid for my plane fare. I’m not choosing to look at this year’s APE as a financial show, but rather as a PR move, and that by giving … Read More
