Busy!
Ok.
I'm just writing to check in. To let you folks know I haven't forgotten you.
Here's the thing:
We've been busy.
We had a reading in DC last weekend:
... then another in MA (ssachusetts) this weekend. The one in MA was attached to a 10-year college reunion, and included lots of catching up, staying up late, and taxing my memory. Trying to remember ten years back is exhausting.
Both readings went really well, but we were so involved in, you know, reading, that we forgot to take any pictures.
!!!
So. Nothing exciting to show you there.
Also, last week, before this past weekend's reading, we figured we had to finish Volume VIII, to debut at the reading. So, I actually had to illustrate that and then we had to actually produce some copies to have on hand in case anyone wanted to buy them. So, that kept me kind of busy too.
Here's a teaser for those of you who weren't at the reading:
This book, though small, includes a lot of crossover spreads that have a lot of ink coverage. And, because I am who I am, uses up a TON of yellow ink. It seems that I like things that are made up of yellow. In order to save money, we order ink in bulk - 8 yellows, 8 magentas, 8 cyans, 8 blacks. Well, apparently I never do anything in blues, because I am all out of yellow and still have about 30 cyans in stock. Maybe the next book will be all blue. It will be called "Blue Book".
I have a sneaking suspicion that one will get nixed at the next creative meeting.
Well, the reading at reunion went exceedingly well. Except for a weird joke about our sex life that spiraled out of control to general hilarity, it went pretty smoothly and was well received by (most) all. Probably the best audience we will EVER have, what with them almost all being people who know and generally like us. I don't know how many people total showed up, but there was quite a crowd. It was a really neat way to reconnect (or newly connect) with folks we have something in common with.
Hm. This post is really boring. Quite.
I'll try to come up with something more thrilling next time. If I'm at a loss, I can always post more disgusting pictures of my recent bout with poison ivy.
Thanks to the folks who came to the readings, though. We had a great time. It's nice to know people are interested in what we're doing.
